Compounded GLP-1 Dispensing Patterns and Vitamin B12 Coformulation

This study uses comprehensive prescription drug monitoring program data to describe compounded weight-loss prescriptions, rates of self-payment, out-of-state dispensing, and the ingredients contained in compounded GLP-1s. Published in JAMA, these peer-reviewed nephrology findings provide quantitative evidence to inform clinical risk stratification, therapeutic decision-making, and follow-up trial design.

Ozempic in Pregnancy: Diabetes, Not Drug, Linked to Early Births?

The reason you're taking Ozempic or Wegovy matters during pregnancy, with underlying diabetes potentially posing a greater risk than the medication itself. This study challenges the previously held, often generalized, assumption that GLP-1 medications alone are responsible for pregnancy complications.

AI Discovers Natural Molecule for Obesity with Promising Side Effect Profile

AI-guided discovery of the natural molecule BRP offers a novel, potentially better-tolerated approach to obesity treatment than existing medications. BRP represents a potential 'Ozempic-like' treatment for obesity that may circumvent common digestive side effects and muscle loss often associated with current GLP-1 agonists.

Safety and efficacy of weekly pemvidutide versus placebo for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (IMPACT): 48-week results from a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, phase 2b study

In patients with MASH, 48 weeks of pemvidutide treatment led to significant reductions in non-invasive tests of MASH inflammation and fibrosis (tissue scarring), suggesting continued improvement in liver health. These data warrant the continued investigation of pemvidutide in a Phase 3 trial.

Efficacy and safety of oral orforglipron in Japanese participants with obesity disease (ATTAIN-J): a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3 trial

In Japanese adults with obesity disease, once-daily orforglipron resulted in statistically superior reductions in bodyweight versus placebo (inactive comparison treatment), with a safety profile consistent with that of other GLP-1 receptor agonists. Orforglipron, a small-molecule, non-peptide, oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown bodyweight reduction and cardiometabolic benefits in adults with obesity across Phase 3 trials globally.

Analysis Asks: Are GLP-1 Drugs Safe in People With Frailty?

This Medical News article discusses an analysis of cardiovascular benefits and safety of semaglutide use in trial participants with frailty, defined by accumulated age-related health deficits. Published in JAMA, these peer-reviewed endocrinology findings provide quantitative evidence to inform clinical risk stratification, therapeutic decision-making, and follow-up trial design.

A Phase 2, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Acmopatide (CT-868), a Fully Biased GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonist, in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes and Overweight or Obesity

In adults with T1D and overweight/obesity, acmopatide was associated with improved glycemic control and clinically meaningful weight loss without DKA or severe hypoglycemia events. To evaluate the efficacy (real-world effectiveness in the trial) and safety of acmopatide, a signal-biased glucagon-like peptide 1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor agonist, in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and overweight/obesity.

ENDOCRINOLOGY · GUIDELINE / OPINION

The development of obesity pharmacotherapy: from early challenges and setbacks to recognition by WHO

We take a critical historical perspective, charting the highs and lows of obesity medication development and examining the scientific, regulatory, and societal factors that have slowed or impeded the translation of pharmacological advances into safe, effective, and widely accepted treatments for obesity. Reflecting this paradigm shift, WHO issued global guidelines and included GLP-1 receptor agonists in the Essential Medicines List, albeit for a narrowly defined population.

Real-world, digital-first delivery of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in women

Interpretation is limited by the observational design, absence of a comparator group, self-pay population and 6-month follow-up. These findings support the feasibility of delivering structured, digitally enabled obesity pharmacotherapy at scale and provide prospective real-world implementation evidence for this care model.

UBT251, a novel triple GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptor agonist, in adults with overweight or obesity: A multicenter, randomized phase 2 trial

UBT251 produced weight reduction with cardiometabolic improvements and an acceptable safety profile, supporting Phase 3 evaluation. UBT251 is a novel triple agonist targeting glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon receptors.
