Abstract
Background: Mazdutide, a dual GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist, shows promise for weight loss and glycaemic control. This study evaluates its efficacy in non-diabetic patients with obesity.
Methodology: A search of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Google Scholar and clinicaltrials.gov identified randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of mazdutide in adults (≥ 18 years) with obesity. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 with random-effect models.
Results: Five RCTs were included. Mazdutide significantly reduced percentage body weight (MD = -12.42%, 95% CI: -16.15% to -8.68%), absolute body weight (MD = -9.76 kg, 95% CI: -13.15 to -6.37 kg) and waist circumference (MD = -7.98 cm, 95% CI: -10.24 to -5.72 cm). Systolic blood pressure (MD = -7.68 mmHg), total cholesterol (MD = -0.57 mmol/L) and LDL (MD = -0.37 mmol/L) also decreased. Adverse events were slightly increased (RR = 1.12). Dose-wise meta-regression showed significant effects (β = -0.99, 95% CI: -1.81 to -0.16; p = 0.0187).
Conclusion: Mazdutide effectively reduces weight, waist circumference and blood pressure but may cause mild to moderate adverse events. Findings are limited by the small number of RCTs.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism is primarily a journal of clinical and experimental pharmacology and therapeutics covering the interrelated areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolism. The journal prioritises high-quality original research that reports on the effects of new or existing therapies, including dietary, exercise and lifestyle (non-pharmacological) interventions, in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine disease, either in humans or animal and cellular systems. ‘Metabolism’ may relate to lipids, bone and drug metabolism, or broader aspects of endocrine dysfunction. Preclinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetic studies, meta-analyses and those addressing drug safety and tolerability are also highly suitable for publication in this journal. Original research may be published as a main paper or as a research letter.
