OBJECTIVE: Between 2012 and 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved 10 antidiabetic indicated therapies. Due to the limited literature on voluntarily reported safety outcomes for recently approved antidiabetic drugs, this study inv…
Obesity has become an epidemic and a worldwide problem and its treatment is ever-evolving. Apart from diet and exercise, medication and surgery are other options. After disappointing side effects of various obesity drugs, new treatments showed promis…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Obesity trends and metabolic dysregulation are rising in people living with HIV using antiretrovirals (ARVs). Underlying causes and preventive strategies are being investigated. Two glucagon like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists,…
OBJECTIVE: In the present network meta-analysis (NMA), we aimed to compare the effectiveness of daily and weekly treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes m…
AIM: To compare the efficacy of tirzepatide 10 and 15 mg with semaglutide 2.4 mg using an indirect treatment comparison. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using SURMOUNT-1 and STEP 1 trial data, mean percentage change in body weight from baseline and odds ratio…
Obesity is a prevalent global health issue affecting approximately half of the world's population. Extensive scientific research highlights the urgent need for effective obesity management to mitigate health risks and prevent complications. While bar…
BACKGROUND & AIMS: This study assessed the effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucagon receptor co-agonist efinopegdutide relative to the selective GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide on liver fat content (LFC) in patients with non-alcohol…
About 20%-25% of patients experience weight regain (WR) or insufficient weight loss (IWL) following bariatric surgery (BS). Therefore, we aimed to retrospectively assess the effectiveness of adjunct treatment with semaglutide in patients without type…
BACKGROUND: Combining the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide with the long-acting amylin analogue cagrilintide has weight-loss benefits; the impact on glycated haemoglobin (HbA) is unknown. This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of co-administer…
OBJECTIVE: Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 is an incretin hormone that acts after food intake to stimulate insulin production, enhance satiety, and promote weight loss. Here we describe the discovery and characterization of ecnoglutide (XW003), a novel…
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been shown to improve glucose and lipid homeostasis, promote weight loss, and reduce cardiovascular risk factors. They are a promising therapeutic option for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease…
BACKGROUND: Orforglipron, an oral, non-peptide glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is in development for type 2 diabetes and obesity. We assessed the efficacy and safety of orforglipron versus placebo or dulaglutide in participants with…
Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, has been shown to have beneficial effects on fecal output in short bowel syndrome (SBS) by small human studies. Its potential effects early after gut resection are not known. In this pilot observational…
BACKGROUND: We assessed the efficacy and safety of the oral glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, semaglutide 50 mg, taken once per day versus placebo for the treatment of overweight or obesity in adults without type 2 diabetes. METHODS: This randomised,…
BACKGROUND: Once-daily oral semaglutide is an effective type 2 diabetes treatment. We aimed to investigate a new formulation of oral semaglutide at higher investigational doses versus the approved 14 mg dose in adults with inadequately controlled typ…
CONTEXT: The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist semaglutide (SEMA) produces 15% weight loss when chronically administered to humans with obesity. METHODS: In 2 separate experiments, rats received daily injections of either vehicle (VEH…
One-fourth of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) patients presenting for initial gender-affirming surgery (GAS) consult is denied surgery due to obesity. Many surgery centers enforce body mass index (BMI) requirements for GAS because of concerns ab…
The clinical benefit associated with anti-amyloid immunotherapies, a new class of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, is predicated on their ability to modify disease course by lowering brain amyloid levels. At the time of writing, two am…
