In patients with obesity and knee osteoarthritis, once-weekly semaglutide (2.4 mg) significantly reduced body weight and pain compared to placebo, though it was associated with gastrointestinal side effects.

In adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin (alone or with sulfonylurea), oral semaglutide (7 mg and 14 mg) significantly reduced HbA1c and body weight compared to sitagliptin over 26 weeks, while the 3 mg dose showed no significant benefit.

In patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes on SGLT-2 inhibitors, adding semaglutide significantly improved HbA1c and reduced body weight compared to placebo, though it was associated with an increased frequency of gastrointestinal side effects.

In patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular (CV) risk, oral semaglutide demonstrated non-inferior cardiovascular safety to placebo, showing no significant increase in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which included cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke.
