  • Glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist demonstrates efficacy for obesity and MASLD

    Glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist demonstrates efficacy for obesity and MASLD

    Matthias H. Tschöp, MD, and other researchers detailed phase 3 results of SYNCHRONIZE-1 and SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD showing that survodutide leads to significant weight loss, reduction in liver fat, and other health improvements.


  • REIMAGINE trials demonstrate efficacy of combination therapy for treating type 2 diabetes

    REIMAGINE trials demonstrate efficacy of combination therapy for treating type 2 diabetes

    Donna Ryan, MD, and other panelists reported on new data from phase 3 trials evaluating the combination of cagrilintide, which mimics amylin, and semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in adults.


  • President of Medicine & Science calls for unifying biomedical science and social determinants of care

    President of Medicine & Science calls for unifying biomedical science and social determinants of care

    A. Enrique Caballero, MD, highlighted the progress advancing diabetes treatment and management while shedding light on existing gaps in care and advocating for integrating advances in science into the real-world context in which people live.


  • Triple-hormone therapy demonstrates efficacy for type 2 diabetes and obesity

    Triple-hormone therapy demonstrates efficacy for type 2 diabetes and obesity

    Activation of the glucagon receptor with retatrutide is being investigated in a large phase 3 program that includes 14 trials and more than 22,000 participants. Researchers, including Ania Jastreboff, MD, PhD, shared data from two of the trials, TRANSCEND-T2D-1 and TRIUMPH-1.


  • Automated insulin delivery demonstrates efficacy in glycemic management in the hospital

    Automated insulin delivery demonstrates efficacy in glycemic management in the hospital

    Francisco Pasquel, MD, MPH, and other panelists presented new data from the AIDING trial, which compared automated inulin delivery to multiple daily injections combined with continuous glucose monitoring in individuals with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes during hospitalization.


  • Dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist improves glycemic management and weight loss in adults living with type 1 diabetes and obesity

    Dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist improves glycemic management and weight loss in adults living with type 1 diabetes and obesity

    Klara Klein, MD, PhD, and other researchers shared results from a phase 2, double-blind, randomized study of acmopatide. Study participants also experienced improvements in blood pressure and insulin dosing.


  • Positive data from multiple amylin trials draw focus to novel therapeutic mechanism

    Positive data from multiple amylin trials draw focus to novel therapeutic mechanism

    Investigators, including Carel le Roux, MBChB, FRCP, FRCPath, PhD, discussed findings from monotherapy and combination trials with the pancreatic beta cell hormone. “Not only are these weight loss drugs, these are also health-gain drugs,” Dr. le Roux said.


  • Ultra-long-acting GLP-1 RA improves weight loss in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes

    Ultra-long-acting GLP-1 RA improves weight loss in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes

    A Scientific Sessions panel shared new data from the VESPER trials. The long half-life of berobenatide makes investigators optimistic about its potential for monthly dosing.


  • Investigators to bring data on glucose management with oral orforglipron 

    Investigators to bring data on glucose management with oral orforglipron 

    Julio Rosenstock, MD, Francesco Giorgino, MD, PhD, and other panelists will discuss results from the ACHIEVE clinical trials, including ACHIEVE-3, which compared oral semaglutide and orforglipron for use in type 2 diabetes.


  • Researchers to share VESPER phase 2 clinical trial data

    Researchers to share VESPER phase 2 clinical trial data

    Investigators, including John B. Buse, MD, PhD, will discuss new insights from the VESPER program examining berobenatide, an ultra-long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for weight management.
