Is SURPASS-3 a fair comparison of tirzepatide against its comparator arm?

Asked 23 May 2024Modified 2.2 years agoViewed 21k times

Stated plainly: SURPASS-3 · tirzepatide.

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?
