GLP-1 receptor agonists may prevent progression to stage IV in certain obesity-related cancers, with potential to impact treatment strategies.
Semaglutide improves liver health in mice with MASH through intrahepatic sinusoidal endothelial GLP-1 receptors, independent of weight loss, with a substantial effect on fibrosis and immune remodeling.

DD01 significantly reduces liver fat by at least 30% in 76% of adults with MASH or MASLD after 12 weeks, outperforming placebo in a phase 2 trial.
Semaglutide reduces vascular resistance and prevents fibrosis in kidneys, supporting kidney function preservation in type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease.
Multidisciplinary heart-liver co-management improves detection and treatment of MASLD, addressing a critical gap in cardiometabolic care with potential to reduce mortality.
Methodological strategies like pragmatic trials and target trial emulation improve real-world evidence for GLP-1 receptor agonists, addressing key gaps in clinical practice and policy.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists increase the 18-month risk of ischemic optic neuropathy by approximately 3 to 3.6 cases per 10,000 patients compared to other diabetes medications.
Use of GLP-1 receptor agonists is associated with a nearly twofold increased risk of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes patients, but absolute risk remains small.
Robust real-world evidence is essential to optimize GLP-1 receptor agonist use and inform policy decisions amid expanding indications and diverse populations.
Effective obesity treatments, including new medications and procedures, are available but have not significantly reduced obesity rates in the US, which remain stable.
Once-weekly survodutide significantly reduces body weight by approximately 12-13% in adults with obesity without diabetes, outperforming placebo in a phase 3 trial.
Adding tirzepatide to standard care reduces one-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events by 1.4% in patients with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic disease.
