After 40 weeks, all doses of Tirzepatide were superior to Semaglutide on lowering HbA1c.Gluca...

This 36-week long randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 348 US adults with biopsy confirmed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (fibrosis stages 1–3) shows that Resmetirom...

Brief Summary: This double-blind, placebo-controlled international trial, randomized overweight and obese adults with T2D to either once-weekly subcutaneous Tirzepatide (10 mg or 15 mg) or placebo for 72 weeks. Tirzepatide led to weight reductions of -9.6% with the 10 mg dose and -11.6% with the 15 mg dose, compared to placebo. From a mean baseline 8.0%, HbA1c reduced by –2·1% with both the 10 mg, and 15 mg dose of triszepatied compared to 0·5% reduction on plac...

In Brief: This phase 2 trial randomized 338 adults with overweight or obesity to once-weekly subcutaneous Retatrutide (LY3437943), a ‘triple agonist’ for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1), and glucagon receptors, or placebo. Mean % change in body weight at 24 weeks was −7.2%, −12.9%, −17.3% and −17.5% in the 1-mg, 4-mg, 8-mg and 12-mg Retatrutide groups, compared with −1.6% in the placebo ...
