The continuous development of antiobesity medications (AOMs), which demonstrate significant weight loss effects, presents new opportunities for the treatment of obesity [<span>2</span>]. On August 8, 2024, a search of the Informa Database identified a total of 2120 trials for AOMs, indicating that the research on AOMs is active and receiving significant attention.</p><p>Over the past 30 years, the number of clinical trials on AOMs has experienced significant fluctuations, peaking in 2023–2024 (Figure 1A). The number of clinical trials entering phases III–IV and phases I–II/III was comparable (48.5% vs. 50.9%), underscoring the development of novel AOMs derived from established therapies. Eventually, a total of 20 indications were identified in these trials, of which the top 10 were listed in Figure 1B. The majority of indications were Non-diabetic overweight or obesity (41.6%), followed closely by Diabetes-related overweight or obesity (41.0%). Among trials targeting non-diabetic overweight or obesity, only 35.6% reached phase III/IV, indicating this field is still in early-stage exploration. Figure 1C illustrates the distribution of clinical trials for AOMs based on their mechanisms of action and targets. Nutrient-stimulated hormone (NuSH) single receptor agonists dominate the landscape, accounting for 26.14% of trials, highlighting their significant research focus. Other AOMs, which target leptin, ghrelin, mitochondrial uncouplers, and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), follow closely at 19.94%. In recent years, as the number of clinical trials on AOMs has steadily increased, the proportion of combined therapies has also risen, suggesting that this will be a future trend (Figure 1D). Recent advancements have been characterized by a surge in clinical trials targeting various mechanisms of action, as depicted in Figure 1E. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have emerged as a leading class, with Semaglutide and Liraglutide being the most extensively studied drugs classified as NuSH single receptor agonists. Meanwhile, peptides and molecular conjugates with dual-agonist and triple-agonist actions, such as Tirzepatide and Retatrutide, are currently under investigation and appear to have the strongest potential as anti-obesity medications [<span>3</span>].

Metformin remained the most used medication from 2014 to 2022. From 2014 to 2022, usage of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors increased exponentially. GLP-1 receptor agonist use increased from below 2.5%–21%. While SGLT-2 inhibitor use increased from less than 2.5%–14%. This growth coincided with a decline in sulfonylurea usage. Among high-risk, insulin was most prevalent in those with heart failure or chronic kidney disease. However, usage of insulin declined overall in all groups. Utilization of SGLT-2 inhibitors was particularly high in patients with prior heart failure.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In adults with new onset type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 receptor agonist and SGLT-2 inhibitor utilization has markedly increased, coordinating with evolving guidelines that emphasize cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease management. However, overall adoption rates of these medications remain low based on indicated populations.
