Is STEP 3 a fair comparison of mazdutide against its comparator arm?

Asked 27 Jun 2025Modified 13 months agoViewed 14k times

Stated plainly: STEP 3 · mazdutide.

This is asserted often enough that I assumed it was established, and then I went looking for the source.

I have searched the primary literature and found one paper that is adjacent but not on point.

Is there data behind this, or is it received wisdom?
