Obesity has become a significant global challenge, highlighting the need for effective weight loss strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as a promising solution, with tirzepatide gaining significant popularity…
BACKGROUND: Data on tirzepatide in Asian patients with obesity are limited. This study aimed to gain a better understanding of tirzepatide for treatment of Japanese patients with obesity disease (BMI ≥25 kg/mwith excessive fat accumulation) as define…
AIMS: Doxorubicin (DOX), an effective and commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, often triggers dosage-dependent and potentially lethal cardiotoxicity, which heavily limits its clinical application in cancer survivors. However, no actual pharmacologic…
OBJECTIVE: To explore adverse drug events (ADEs) associated with tirzepatide using real-world data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to guide its safe management. METHODS: ADE reports from th…
AIMS: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major diabetic complication and a leading cause of amputation. While GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) provide cardiovascular and limb protection, the impact of tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agoni…
AIM: To understand treatment patterns and effectiveness of tirzepatide among people without type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the US. METHODS: This retrospective, observational, descriptive study used the Healthcare Integrated Research Database (index date: f…
OBJECTIVE: Lipodystrophy encompasses a group of rare disorders associated with severe metabolic disease. These disorders are defined by abnormal fat distribution, with near-total (generalized lipodystrophy [GL]) or partial (partial lipodystrophy [PL]…
OBJECTIVE: Increases in adiposity and adverse changes in adipose distribution commonly occur in women during midlife and with the onset of menopause. This post hoc analysis assessed body weight changes with tirzepatide by reproductive stage. METHODS:…
AIMS: To understand real-world tirzepatide use among individuals without type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnoses in a US electronic health record (EHR) database. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective, descriptive, cohort study used Veradigm's® Network EH…
Overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) affect nearly two thirds of adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), contributing to suboptimal glucose control, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Many newer drugs such as tirzepatide (a dual-…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate late (week 40 or 42; hereafter, week 40/42) metabolic outcomes by early glycemic response (<20% or ≥20% fasting serum glucose [FSG] reduction at week 4) or weight response (<5% or ≥5% weight reduction at week 8), respectively,…
An 83-year-old man with basal cell carcinoma was referred for an 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan for staging. The FDG PET/CT scan revealed diffuse increased radiotracer uptake within the pancreas without CT abnormality, which raised concern for pancreatitis. Al…
AIMS: This real-world study compared clinical outcomes between tirzepatide treatment and bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) in adults with obesity. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used the TriNetX network to identify adults with a body mass i…
INTRODUCTION: In SURMOUNT-2, a phase 3, randomized clinical trial, tirzepatide treatment resulted in clinically meaningful reduction in bodyweight among people with obesity or overweight and T2D. The current analysis evaluated the effects of tirzepat…
Tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and gastric inhibitory peptide receptor agonist, is an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, resulting in significant improvements in glycated hemoglobin levels and weight r…
