A dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
: Obesity is a growing global health concern and a modifiable risk factor for multiple pancreatic diseases, including acute pancreatitis (AP), chronic pancreatitis (CP), and pancreatic cancer (PC). While these conditions have distinct clinical course…
AIMS: The SURMOUNT-1 trial investigated effects of tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on body weight in participants with obesity or overweight. This analysis evaluated changes in…
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, and multifactorial disease with rising prevalence and substantial health and economic burdens. Despite significant advances in both medical and surgical treatments, clinicians and patients still face a lack of clear,…
OBJECTIVE: To describe seven cases of patulous Eustachian tube (PET, "Tuba aperta") arising in adult patients undergoing significant weight loss with GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide [Ozempic] or tirzepatide [Mounjaro]). METHODS: Retrospective de…
AIMS: To understand real-world tirzepatide utilization and effectiveness (change in weight and body mass index [BMI]) among people without type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective, observational study used…
The cost effectiveness of pharmacotherapies for obesity (such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, and newer agents) is increasingly being appraised by health technology assessment (HTA) bodies. Modelling is required to extrapolate weight change…
INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological disorder characterised by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), predominantly affecting obese women of reproductive age. While GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown promise in II…
INTRODUCTION: To evaluate real-world hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight change in adults initiating treatment with tirzepatide (dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist [GLP-1 RA]) or injectable se…
Leptin resistance limits anti-obesity efficacy. We identified a leptin-sensitizing mechanism through tirzepatide (TZP), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) dual-agonist. Our tir…
BACKGROUND: Prior studies showed worse outcomes in obese inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, especially those related to hospitalizations, surgery, and steroid-free remission. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have demonstra…
OBJECTIVE: Previous experiments have demonstrated that BGM0504, a GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonist drug by molecular dynamics-guided optimization, had enhanced agonistic activity compared to tirzepatide. This study aims to investigate its safety, tolerabilit…
Tirzepatide has demonstrated greater efficacy than semaglutide in improving glycemic control and reducing body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the optimal tirzepatide dose following a switch from 1.0 mg of semaglutid…
Obesity represents a global public health challenge, with specific characteristics and needs in adolescent and elderly populations. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists such as liraglutide and semaglutide, as well as the GIP (glucose-dep…
INTRODUCTION: This study assessed whether early weight loss following tirzepatide treatment was associated with clinical characteristics and outcomes at 52 weeks in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Post hoc analyses used pooled…
GLP1 agonists are the emerging fourth pillar of nephroprotection in type 2 diabetes (T2D), alongside renin-angiotensin system blockers, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, and finerenone (a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist).…
Unimolecular multireceptor coagonists have emerged as a promising approach in the development of next-generation GLP-1 therapeutics. Herein, we describe the development of a long-acting and stapled GLP-1R/GIPR/GCGR triple agonist that exhibits balanc…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The increasing prevalence of obesity among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) presents a significant clinical challenge, as it exacerbates insulin resistance, impairs glycemic control, and increases cardiometabolic ri…
AIMS: To estimate body mass index (BMI) category changes after treatment with tirzepatide as well as potential associations between shifting BMI category and selected cardiometabolic measures and weight-related patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in typ…
