Semaglutide

Numerous treatments for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) have been developed, but none of them have been clinically approved except for resmetirom and semaglutide. One of the most promising drugs targets peroxisome proliferator…

BACKGROUND: Precision medicine has transformed many areas in oncology. However, it remains largely unexplored in metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs), where there is a need for further innovative therapies. METHODS: T…

In late 2025, the White House announced new Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing agreements for the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist class, including 3 semaglutide products, establishing substantially lower prices for Medicare and Medicaid. Shor…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The rising global prevalence of obesity has catalyzed the development of potent glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. This narrative review evaluates the efficacy, safety, and practical considerations of injectable s…

BACKGROUND: Weight management remains a significant challenge for patients with class II-III obesity, even after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). This study aimed to investigate the association between early, short-term adjunctive semaglutide thera…

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects 30%-40% of youth with obesity and lacks approved pharmacologic therapies. In this single-center retrospective case series at a tertiary care safety-net children's hospital, we e…

AIMS: Oral semaglutide absorption is subject to inter-individual variability. We investigated whether estimated individual exposure (eC) provides predictive information beyond the prescribed dose in a real-world cohort of patients with type 2 diabete…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify key regulatory genes involved in chondrocyte senescence in osteoarthritis (OA) and to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide. METHODS: Transcriptomic data of chondrocytes…

OBJECTIVE: Semaglutide (SMG), a clinically relevant peptide-based therapeutic whose physical and chemical stability are critical concerns during manufacturing and storage. Although the stability of SMG in solution has been extensively studied, its so…

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including a dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist, have expanded treatment options for overweight and obesity. However, real-world data within Medicaid pop…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics of weight loss drugs (WLDs) users in Norway. DESIGN: Nested population-based case-control study. SETTING: Nationwide healthcare registries with data on dispensed medications and healthcare diagn…

OBJECTIVE: Semaglutide improves cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in people who are diabetic, overweight or obese through incompletely understood mechanisms. To address this, we explored novel lipidomic and lipo-/glyco-protein profiling with semaglut…

BACKGROUND: Novel treatments are needed for the primary and secondary prevention of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes, including individuals with and those without a history of heart failure. Conflicting trial evidence exists on whether…

BACKGROUND: While the FLOW trial established the renoprotective effects of subcutaneous semaglutide, real-world evidence regarding the long-term renal effects of therapeutic switching from injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA…

PurposeThe rapid growth of semaglutide use for weight loss has been accompanied by a proliferation of patient-shared experiences and non-evidence-based claims on video platforms. This unchecked information environment poses significant risks to publi…

: This study aimed to investigate, from a scientific and formulation perspective, an oral semaglutide tablet incorporating sodium caprate (C10) as an intestinal absorption enhancer and to optimize its formulation performance using a Quality by Design…
