AIM: To assess composite endpoints combining glycaemic control (HbA1c < 7.0%, ≤ 6.5% or < 5.7%) with weight loss (≥ 5%, ≥ 10% or ≥ 15%) and without hypoglycaemia with tirzepatide in type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from the phase 3…
What is this summary about? This is a plain language summary of the STEP TEENS research study, which was originally published in the. As more teenagers are living with obesity than ever before, researchers are searching for new treatments. This was t…
INTRODUCTION: SURE Netherlands (NCT03929679) evaluated the use of once-weekly (OW) semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), in routine clinical care for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: Adults (age ≥ 18 years…
AIM: This work aims to assess the effect of weekly subcutaneous semaglutide on biomarkers of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), namely the hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, at 24 weeks in outpatients atten…
AIMS: The 2021 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend that patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with a very high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk receive cardiovascular (CV)-protective glucose-lowering medication (glucagon-like pep…
Tirzepatide is a new glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) that has shown promising results for weight loss. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs for obesity management. Embase and…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disabling neurodegenerative disease that causes demyelination and axonal degeneration of the central nervous system. Current treatments are partially effective in managing MS relapses and have a negligible impact on treat…
Sodium caprate (C10) has been widely evaluated as an intestinal permeation enhancer for the oral delivery of macromolecules. However, the effect of C10 on the intestinal absorption of peptides with different physicochemical properties and its permeat…
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Glucagon-like peptide1-receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) decrease major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Caution is recommended for semaglutide and dulagluti…
CONTEXT: Efficacy and safety of once-weekly semaglutide in type 2 diabetes were established in the phase 3 SUSTAIN trials, which included patients across the continuum of type 2 diabetes care. It is useful to complement these findings with real-world…
Long-acting analogues of the naturally occurring incretin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and those modified to interact also with receptors for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) have shown high glucose-lowering and weight-lowering…
PURPOSE: Protein higher order structure (HOS) including the oligomer distribution can be critical for efficacy, safety and stability of drug products (DP). Oligomerization is particularly relevant to chemically modified protein therapeutics that have…
OBJECTIVES: The objective of the current preliminary study was to present the cost-effectiveness analyses submitted to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (TA10765) that deemed semaglutide 2.4 mg subcutaneous (s.c.) injection…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have a privileged place in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). They not only improve glucose control without inducing hypoglycaemia and trigger weight loss, but also protect against atherosclerot…
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists currently occupy a privileged place in the management of type-2 diabetes (T2D). Dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptides (GIP/GLP-1) have been recently developed. Tirzepatide is the most adv…
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) improve glycaemic control and lower body weight in people with T2D, and some reduce the risk of cardiovas…
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effect of once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg on 2-year control of eating. METHODS: In STEP 5, adults with overweight/obesity were randomized 1:1 to semaglutide 2.4 mg or placebo, plus lifestyle modification, for 104 we…
