Albuminuria-Lowering Effect of Adding Semaglutide on Top of Empagliflozin in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized and Placebo-Controlled Study

Diabetes Obes Metab. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1111/dom.15287

The proposed different mechanisms of SGLT2i and GLP-1RAs indicate that combination therapy may have additive or synergistic effects on the kidneys. This placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study investigated the effect on albuminuria of adding semaglutide to ongoing treatment with empagliflozin compared with empagliflozin alone in 60 individuals with T2D and albuminuria.

Effect of Semaglutide versus Other Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Head-to-Head, Phase 3, Randomized Controlled Trials

J Diabetes Complications. 2023;37:108529 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2023.108529

 GLP-1RAs vary in their abilities to control glycaemia, reduce body weight and improve other cardiometabolic risk factors. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the efficacy and safety of semaglutide compared with other GLP-1RAs in head-to-head phase 3 RCTs in adults with T2D.

Oral Semaglutide 50 mg Taken Once per Day in Adults with Overweight or Obesity (OASIS 1): a Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial

Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(23)01185-6

Oral semaglutide 7 mg and 14 mg once-daily are approved for the treatment of T2D and improve glycaemic control with accompanying body weight reductions. A higher dose of once-daily oral semaglutide 50 mg is currently being investigated for the treatment of obesity in people with overweight or obesity, and for glycaemic control in people with T2D. The OASIS 1 trial assessed once-daily oral semaglutide 50 mg in adults with overweight or obesity, without T2D.

Efficacy and Safety of Oral Orforglipron in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Multicentre, Randomised, Dose-Response, Phase 2 Study

Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(23)01302-8

Orforglipron, an oral, non-peptide GLP-1RA, was assessed at various once-daily doses (3 mg, 12 mg, 24 mg, 36 mg, 45 mg) and dose-escalation schedules vs placebo and dulaglutide in 383 patients with T2D, with or without metformin, and BMI ≥23 kg/m2, with no food or water restrictions.

Efficacy and Safety of Co-Administered Once-weekly Cagrilintide 2.4 mg with Once-Weekly Semaglutide 2.4 mg in Type 2 Diabetes: a Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Phase 2 Trial

Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/ S0140-6736(23)01163-7

Combining the GLP-1 RA semaglutide with the long-acting amylin analogue cagrilintide has been shown to have weight-loss benefits. However, the impact of the combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide (CagriSema) on HbA1c is unknown. In a 32-week, double-blind, phase 2 trial, 92 adults with T2D and a BMI ≥27 kg/m2 on metformin, with or without an SGLT2i, were randomised to once-weekly subcutaneous CagriSema, semaglutide or cagrilintide (all escalated to 2.4 mg).

Effects of Semaglutide on Albuminuria and Kidney Function in People With Overweight or Obesity With or Without Type 2 Diabetes: Exploratory Analysis From the STEP 1, 2, and 3 Trials

Diabetes Care. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2337/dc22-1889

In the STEP trials, semaglutide markedly reduced body weight and improved glycaemic control in adults with overweight or obesity with/without T2D. However, the effects of semaglutide on albuminuria and eGFR are unknown.

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Risk of Adverse Cerebrovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2022.07.021 10.1210/clinem/dgad076

Although the beneficial effects of GLP-1RAs on major cardiovascular events have been established in patients with T2D, their effects on cerebrovascular outcomes remain undetermined.
