Individuals with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) had greater HbA1c reductions and weight loss when a 7 or 14 mg/day dose of the GLP-1* receptor agonist semaglutide rather than sitagliptin was added to their background diabetic medications, results of the phase IIIa PIONEER 3** trial showed.
Long-term testosterone therapy in obese men with hypogonadism led to sustained weight loss and improvements in multiple anthropometric parameters, according to an observational study presented at ENDO 2019.
The FOURIER trial previously demonstrated that adding the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor evolocumab to background statin therapy lowered LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) below target levels and significantly reduced the risks of cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). At the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2018 in Munich, Germany, experts reiterated how evolocumab helps lower LDL-C levels and reduces CV events even in patients with various comorbidities.

An additional benefit of weight loss among individuals with obesity may be the reduction in severity and frequency of migraines, a study presented at ENDO 2019 showed.
