An Eli Lilly-sponsored indirect treatment comparison links tirzepatide 10 and 15 mg to greater weight, BMI and HbA1c reductions than semaglutide 2.4 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes, with no head-to-head trial. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A phase 2b trial finds oral danuglipron produces significant weight loss in obesity but with high discontinuation from gastrointestinal side effects. PICO summary and commentary.
In adults with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin, once-weekly IcoSema was non-inferior to basal-bolus therapy for HbA1c and superior for weight, insulin dose, and hypoglycaemia. PICO summary and expert commentary.
The phase 3a COMBINE 1 trial finds once-weekly IcoSema lowers HbA1c more than insulin icodec alone while cutting hypoglycemia. PICO summary and expert commentary.
