For this review, we focus on FDA-approved medications for obesity and on select medications currently under development and undergoing Phase 2 and 3 trials.

The mechanism of action and comparative efficacy of the GLP-1 receptor agonists liraglutide and semaglutide are reviewed. Tirzepatide, the GLP-1 and GIP-receptor dual agonist is described, and weight loss is compared to alternative anti-obesity medications. Additional incretin targets in the pipeline include dual co-agonists to glucagon and GLP-1 receptors, triple agonists targeting glucagon, GLP-1 and GIP, novel GLP-1 agonists, oral formulations of GLP-1 agonists, and amylin agonists.

The treatment landscape of gastrointestinal cancer has entered a new era with the advent of immunotherapy, which activates the immune system to identify and eliminate tumor cells. Immunotherapy has demonstrated high efficacy and tolerable toxicity profiles compared to conventional therapies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors including PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4 and LAG-3 in combination with targeted therapy or chemotherapy have been approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors with good clinical patient benefit. In recent years, a variety of novel immunotherapeutic approaches have emerged. For example, adoptive T-cell therapy, such as claudin18.2-targeted CAR-T has achieved an objective remission rate of 48.6% in patients with advanced gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer. Oncolytic viruses inhibits tumor growth in both tumor lysis and immune activation, and is currently showing its efficacy against gastrointestinal tumors in some clinical trials. In addition, cancer vaccines, with their unique high degree of precision, have improved the effectiveness of individualized therapy. Personalized neoantigen vaccines combined with other immunotherapeutic drugs or chemotherapy, have shown some efficacy and safety in gastrointestinal patients.
