GLP-1-tablett visar starka resultat i diabetesstudie

Ett nytt experimentellt oralt läkemedel vid namn elecoglipron förbättrade blodsockerkontrollen och främjade viktminskning hos vuxna med typ 2-diabetes under en fas 2b-studie. Resultaten från SOLSTICE-studien presenterades vid American Diabetes Associations vetenskapliga möte och publicerades i The Lancet.

Studien, som sponsrades av AstraZeneca, omfattade 406 vuxna i nio länder. Deltagarna fick varierande doser av den icke-peptidbaserade GLP-1-receptoragonisten elecoglipron eller placebo under 26 veckor. Upp till 89,6 procent av dem som fick läkemedlet nådde en HbA1c-nivå under 7 procent, jämfört med 24,9 procent i placebogruppen. Upp till 72,3 procent uppnådde en kroppsviktminskning på minst 5 procent jämfört med 20,2 procent i placebogruppen. Vanita Aroda, studiens huvudpresentatör och chef för klinisk diabetesforskning vid Mass General Brigham, uppgav att resultaten belyser potentialen hos orala GLP-1-terapier för att övervinna begränsningarna hos nuvarande injicerbara eller peptidbaserade alternativ. Säkerhetsprofilen var i linje med andra läkemedel i denna klass.

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.
