Drug-class and individual-agent evidence: GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and the major trials behind semaglutide, tirzepatide, and related therapies.
A phase 1 mechanistic study in adults with obesity found tirzepatide did not alter metabolic adaptation but increased fat oxidation and reduced calorie intake versus placebo. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A phase 1 single-ascending-dose first-in-human trial of HEC88473, a dual GLP-1/FGF21 receptor agonist, reporting tolerability and early metabolic signals in healthy and obese adults. PICO summary and expert commentary.
