For the long term, physicians are excited to finally have an effective tool to offer their patients struggling with obesity

Selective optical ablation of individual capillary pericytes leads to sustained local capillary dilation and a twofold increase in blood cell flux until pericyte contact is regained [5, 4]

STEP 1 (N = 1,961 adults with obesity, no diabetes): Semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly vs placebo 68-week treatment duration Mean weight loss: 14.9% of baseline body weight (semaglutide) vs 2.4% (placebo) 86% of semaglutide patients lost at least 5% of body weight 69% lost at least 10% 50% lost at least 15% Published in New England Journal of Medicine, 2021 (Wilding et al.) STEP 2 (N = 1,210 adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes): Semaglutide 2.4 mg vs 1 mg vs placebo 68-week duration Mean weight loss: 9.6% (2.4 mg dose) vs 7.0% (1 mg dose) vs 3.4% (placebo) Diabetes patients lose less weight than non-diabetic patients on the same dose, likely due to baseline insulin resistance Published in Lancet, 2021 (Davies et al.) STEP 3 (N = 611, semaglutide plus intensive behavioral therapy): Mean weight loss: 16.0% at 68 weeks Adding structured diet and exercise counseling improved outcomes by approximately 1% absolute weight loss vs medication alone STEP 4 (withdrawal study, N = 803): Patients who achieved weight loss on semaglutide were randomized to continue semaglutide vs switch to placebo Patients who continued semaglutide lost an additional 7.9% of body weight over 48 weeks Patients switched to placebo regained 6.9% of body weight This demonstrates that semaglutide requires ongoing treatment
