Pílula oral de GLP-1 apresenta resultados expressivos em estudo sobre diabetes

Um novo medicamento oral experimental chamado elecoglipron melhorou o controle glicêmico e promoveu a perda de peso em adultos com diabetes tipo 2 durante um estudo de fase 2b. Os resultados do estudo SOLSTICE foram apresentados nas Sessões Científicas da Associação Americana de Diabetes e publicados na revista The Lancet.

O estudo, patrocinado pela AstraZeneca, recrutou 406 adultos em nove países. Os participantes receberam doses variadas do agonista do receptor de GLP-1 não peptídico, elecoglipron, ou um placebo por 26 semanas.

Até 89,6 por cento dos pacientes que utilizaram o medicamento atingiram um nível de HbA1c abaixo de 7 por cento, em comparação com 24,9 por cento no grupo que recebeu o placebo. Até 72,3 por cento alcançaram pelo menos 5 por cento de perda de peso corporal, versus 20,2 por cento no grupo placebo.

Vanita Aroda, principal apresentadora do estudo e diretora de pesquisa clínica em diabetes do Mass General Brigham, afirmou que as descobertas destacam o potencial das terapias orais de GLP-1 para superar as limitações das atuais opções injetáveis ou à base de peptídeos. O perfil de segurança mostrou-se alinhado com o de outros medicamentos da mesma classe.

A large review of cardiovascular outcome trials found that people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists—drugs that include semaglutide (sold as Ozempic)—had a lower risk of major heart-related events than those given placebo. The analysis pooled results from 11 trials involving more than 90,000 participants, with an average follow-up of nearly three years, and reported benefits across patient subgroups including those with and without diabetes.

A year-long observational study in Japan suggests that people with type 2 diabetes who tend to overeat in response to tempting food cues such as sight and smell may see greater weight loss—and possibly better blood-sugar improvement—after starting GLP-1 receptor agonists, while those with primarily emotional eating patterns show less consistent links to long-term outcomes.

Scientists have developed a hybrid obesity treatment that uses GLP-1 and GIP signals to deliver a metabolic enhancer directly into cells. Early tests in mice showed greater weight loss and better blood sugar control than standard therapies. The approach aims to reduce side effects by limiting the drug's action to targeted areas.

The US Food and Drug Administration approved Foundayo, a new once-daily pill for obesity treatment, on Wednesday. Eli Lilly, the manufacturer, also produces the weight-loss injection Zepbound. The approval positions Foundayo as the second obesity pill cleared by the FDA.

Researchers from Mass General Brigham found that the cholesterol drug evolocumab cuts the risk of first-time major cardiovascular events by 31% in high-risk patients with diabetes who lack diagnosed atherosclerosis. The results, from a subgroup analysis of the VESALIUS-CV trial, were presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session and published in JAMA. Patients on the drug saw LDL cholesterol levels drop significantly alongside standard treatments.

An experimental therapy called VERVE-102 lowered LDL cholesterol by up to 62 percent after a single dose in an early safety study. The results come from a Phase I trial involving 35 patients with high cholesterol or early cardiovascular disease. Data were published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
