How Does Retatrutide Compare to Tirzepatide and Semaglutide in Trial Data?

Published 2026-07-13 · REVIVE Peptides Research Desk · 2 min read
Short answer: In published trial data, Retatrutide (triple agonist) produced the largest mean body-weight reduction at roughly 24.2% at 48 weeks, compared to about 22.5% for Tirzepatide (dual agonist) at 72 weeks and about 14.9% for Semaglutide (single agonist) at 68 weeks — though the compounds were studied at different trial durations and dose levels, so these figures aren't a like-for-like head-to-head.

The three compounds form a receptor-coverage progression: Semaglutide activates only the GLP-1 receptor, Tirzepatide adds GIP receptor agonism on top of GLP-1, and Retatrutide adds a third receptor — glucagon — on top of both. Each additional receptor target is the basis for the research interest in whether more receptor coverage translates to larger effect sizes.

Published figures: Retatrutide's Phase 2 trial (Jastreboff et al., NEJM 2023) reported ≈24.2% mean weight reduction at the highest dose at 48 weeks; Tirzepatide's SURMOUNT-1 (NEJM 2022) reported ≈22.5% at 72 weeks; Semaglutide's STEP 1 (NEJM 2021) reported ≈14.9% at 68 weeks. These trials differ in duration, population, and dosing, so the numbers illustrate a trend across the drug class rather than a controlled direct comparison.
