A phase 1 clamp trial shows tirzepatide improves beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity more than semaglutide, explaining its glucose-lowering. PICO summary and commentary.
Summary: In 178 adults with T2D (HbA1c 7.0-10.5%) on stable metformin, once-weekly semaglutide (0.25-1.0 mg) for 52 weeks produced numerically…

In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity, tirzepatide significantly reduced the composite risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure and improved health status compared to placebo, though it was associated with higher gastrointestinal side effects.
In children aged 6 to <12 years with obesity, liraglutide (3.0 mg daily, combined with lifestyle interventions) significantly reduced BMI and body weight compared to placebo with lifestyle interventions, though it was associated with increased gastrointestinal side effects.
In adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity, tirzepatide significantly reduced the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and body weight compared to placebo, with notable improvements in sleep-related outcomes and cardiovascular risk factors, albeit with increased gastrointestinal side effects.
