In plain English

In adults with overweight or obesity, taking 2.4 mg of pemvidutide once a week leads to more weight loss than taking 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg weekly, suggesting that higher doses produce greater effects.

See the scientific wording

In adults with overweight or obesity, the 2.4 mg weekly dose of pemvidutide produces greater weight loss than lower doses (1.2 mg and 1.8 mg), suggesting a dose-response relationship for efficacy.

Why this might work

Higher doses of the drug activate more receptors in the brain and liver, making you feel fuller faster and causing your body to burn more calories, which leads to more weight loss.
