BACKGROUND: Due to potential ethnic differences in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, new therapeutics need to be evaluated in Japanese patients. We aimed to assess the safety and glycaemic efficacy of tirzepatide as an add-on treatment in Japan…
BACKGROUND: As the disease progresses, many patients with type 2 diabetes have difficulty in reaching treatment goals. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, a novel GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, compared with dulaglutide in Jap…
OBJECTIVES: Tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, delivered superior glycemic control and weight loss compared to selective GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). These results have fueled mechanistic st…
Gastrointestinal hormones are currently used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Incretin preparations with gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) activity or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) provide new means for controlling blood glucose levels,…
Cardiovascular (CV) outcome trials (CVOTs) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapies have mostly used randomized comparison with placebo to demonstrate non-inferiority to establish that the investigational drug does not increase CV risk. Recently,…
Worldwide, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease. MAFLD is associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Early diagnosis a…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal dose of tirzepatide (TZP) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). METHODS: Clinical trials of TZP for T2DM were obtaine…
BACKGROUND: In the SURPASS-4 trial, the dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide reduced HbAconcentrations, bodyweight, and blood pressure more than titrated daily insulin glargine in people with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on oral…
Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptors, improved glucose control and reduced body weight in different therapeutic approaches. Herein, we overviewed the role of G…

Tirzepatide is a novel "twincretin" with glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist activity, which was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus…
