Mazdutide in Type 2 Diabetes With Early-Stage Cognitive Impairment (LIGHT-COG Study)
Sponsor: The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School
Summary
The LIGHT-COG study is a 76-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of mazdutide in 420 participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and early-stage cognitive impairment, defined as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia. Participants are randomized 1:1 to receive once-weekly subcutaneous mazdutide, with dose escalation according to the protocol, or matching placebo, in addition to background glucose-lowering therapy. The primary objective is to determine whether 76 weeks of mazdutide treatment can slow cognitive and functional decline compared with placebo in this population.

Interventions
Mazdutide
Mazdutide is administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection using a prefilled autoinjector pen, preferably on the same day each week. Treatment is initiated at 2.0 mg once weekly and up-titrated to 4.0 mg once weekly during Weeks 4-12 according to individual tolerability. After at least 4 weeks at 4.0 mg, further escalation to 6.0 mg once weekly may be considered if prespecified criteria are met. Participants who are unable to tolerate a given dose may continue treatment at the highest tolerated dose. The total treatment duration is 76 weeks.
Placebo
Matching placebo is administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection using a prefilled autoinjector pen. Participants will undergo the same blinded titration and dose-adjustment schedule as the mazdutide group, including corresponding 2.0 mg, 4.0 mg, and, where applicable, 6.0 mg dosing levels. Participants unable to tolerate a given dosing level may remain at the highest tolerated level. The total treatment duration is 76 weeks.
