Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists are the cornerstone in the treatment of hyperglycemia in many people suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2D). These drugs have potent glucose-lowering actions and, additionally, lower body weight through s…
It is unknown if the cardioprotective and renal effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are consistent across blood pressure (BP) categories in patients with type 2 diabetes and at high risk of cardiovascular events. Using data from the…
Novel methods for peptides structural modification and bioactivity optimization are highly needed in peptide-based drug discovery. Herein, we explored the use gemfibrozil (GFZ) as an albumin binder to enhance the stability and improve the bioactivity…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There is currently a steep rise in the global prevalence of obesity. Pharmaceutical therapy is a valuable component of conservative obesity therapy. Herein, medications currently in the phase of preclinical or clinical testing are…
INTRODUCTION: Semaglutide is the most recently approved injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) for people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It is one of the three currently marketed GLP-1RAs that can be administered once weekly. ARE…
OBJECTIVE: The obesity epidemic is a public health concern, warranting further research into pharmacological treatments for weight management (WM) as an adjunct to lifestyle interventions. The Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with obesity (STEP…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Glucagon-like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists (GLP1-RA) has been associated with a reduction of major cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality on the basis of the results of cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOT). Several meta-analys…
INTRODUCTION: Current estimates suggest that approximately 10% of the global adult population have type 2 diabetes. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the therapeutic options available for its treatment. This article examines th…
In its 33 years, ADDR has published regularly on the po5tential of oral delivery of biologics especially peptides and proteins. In the intervening period, analysis of the preclinical and clinical trial failures of many purported platform technologies…
PURPOSE: Manufacturing processes for polypeptide/protein drugs are designed to ensure robust quality, efficacy and safety. Process differences introduced by follow-on manufacturers may result in changes in quality and clinical outcomes. This study in…
The effect of dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) tirzepatide on gastric emptying (GE) was compared to that of GLP-1RAs in non-clinical and clinical studies. GE was assesse…
Beginning in December 2008, under the auspices of Food and Drug Administration, numerous controlled clinical trial were planned, and in part completed, concerning the cardiovascular (CV) effects of hypoglycaemic drug in patients with Type 2 diabetes…
AIMS: To investigate real-world short-term clinical outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who initiated semaglutide in a specialist endocrinology practice in Canada. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a retrospective observational study us…
In spite of developments with novel insulin preparations, novel modes of insulin delivery with insulin infusion pumps, and the facility of continuous glucose monitoring, only 20% of patients with type 1 diabetes are under adequate control. The need f…
BACKGROUND: The cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have shown that glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) have varying degrees of cardiovascular (CV) safety in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM.) The lack of any head-to-hea…
IMPORTANCE: Recent randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduce cardiovascular events in at-risk individuals with type 2 diabetes. Despite these findings, GLP-1RAs are underused in elig…
BACKGROUND: Several pharmacologic options for type 2 diabetes are available. PURPOSE: To compare benefits and harms of glucose-lowering drugs in adults with type 2 diabetes. DATA SOURCES: Several databases from inception through 18 December 2019 and…
The prevalence of obesity increases worldwide and has a significant economic impact on health care systems. A comprehensive program of lifestyle modification, including diet, exercise, and behavior therapy is considered the first option for achieving…
As the cornerstone of type 2 diabetes (T2D) management within the community, primary care providers are now faced with the challenge of not only managing diabetes itself, but also preventing hypoglycemia and weight gain associated with intensive dise…
The randomized, double-blind, cardiovascular outcomes trials LEADER (NCT01179048) and SUSTAIN 6 (NCT01720446) showed cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with liraglutide and semaglutide, respectively, compared with…
