Real-World Weight Loss Observed With Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in Patients with Overweight or Obesity and Without Type 2 Diabetes (SHAPE).
Introduction: Semaglutide 2.4 mg injection (Wegovy®), a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for weight management in June 2021. Tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 receptor agonist, was approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM; Mounjaro®) in May 2022 and weight management (Zepbound®) in November 2023. Due to limited data on the long-term effectiveness of these medications, this study assessed real-world weight loss with semaglutide 2.4 mg or tirzepatide after 1 year in patients with overweight or obesity and without T2DM.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adults with overweight or obesity and ≥ 1 pharmacy claim for semaglutide 2.4 mg or tirzepatide in the US Komodo Health database between June 4, 2021, and December 15, 2023. Patients had continuous enrollment for 1 year before (baseline period) and 1 year after (follow-up period) the index date (date of treatment initiation) and persistence on therapy (no gap of > 30 days' supply) during follow-up. Patients with T2DM at baseline were excluded. Weight change from index to 1 year was descriptively assessed.
Results: Overall, 9916 patients were included (semaglutide 2.4 mg, n = 6794; tirzepatide, n = 3122). Baseline characteristics were descriptively similar for semaglutide 2.4 mg and tirzepatide: mean age was 47.8 and 49.5 years, 79.8% and 77.9% were female, and mean index weight was 104.5 and 104.9 kg, respectively. After 1 year of follow-up, the mean weight loss from baseline with semaglutide 2.4 mg and tirzepatide was - 14.6 and - 17.2 kg, respectively, with percent weight loss of - 14.1% and - 16.5%. Most (83.5%) patients treated with semaglutide 2.4 mg reached the maximum dose (2.4 mg), while 25.9% of patients treated with tirzepatide reached the maximum dose (15 mg).
Conclusion: Findings suggest semaglutide 2.4 mg and tirzepatide are used in descriptively similar populations and both resulted in clinically meaningful weight loss after 1 year of treatment.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
