To conduct a systematic, multi-dimensional clinical evaluation of five long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) available in China, providing evidence-based guidance for clinical preference and institutional formulary selection.This study was structured according to the "A...
Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disease caused by purine metabolism disorders. In recent years, its incidence has been increasing year by year and showing a trend of rejuvenation. It is closely associated with various health issues such as gout, kidney damage, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore,...

The epidemics of metabolic disease, in the form of obesity and type 2 diabetes, are a growing public health concern. However, incretin-based therapeutics have transformed our ability to address these diseases. While this current generation of incretin analogues show weight regain upon cessation o...

Mazdutide is a once-weekly glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor dual agonist developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D)1. Here we report on a randomized phase III trial assessing the efficacy and safety of mazdutide, compared with dulaglutide, in participants with T2D wh...
Despite advances in type 2 diabetes (T2D) management, unmet needs remain for therapies that effectively control hyperglycaemia while addressing comorbid metabolic disorders1,2. Here we assessed the efficacy and safety of the dual glucagon receptor (GCGR)/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) ...

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in China has continued to increase over the last decade, with mounting health and economic consequences. In this Personal View, we critically examine recent advances and identify current and emerging challenges in obesity across public health and policy, c...

Obesity has emerged as a pressing global health challenge, and therapies based on glucagon-like Peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have transformed its management. Currently, liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide are FDA-approved for obesity treatment, while other agents are used off-labe...
Effective weight management and glycemic control are both important in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Despite the proven benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists, there is a persistent need for more effective weight management strategies in the treatment of T2D and obesity. Glucagon re...

The approvals of semaglutide and tirzepatide have set new benchmarks in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Building on their success, novel GLP-1-based therapeutics are rapidly advancing. These next-generation agents engage not only GLP-1 receptors but also those for other gastro-enter...

Mazdutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1/glucagon receptor (GLP - 1/GCGR) dual agonist, has shown marked efficacy in glycemic control, weight loss, and metabolic improvement in adults. However, data in adolescents remain limited. This report explores its therapeutic potential in an adolescent with ob...
Mazdutide (Xinermei®) is a dual glucagon receptor (GcgR) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist being developed by Eli Lilly and Company along with Innovent Biologics for use in weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and for the treatment of type 2 diabete...

Glucagon is a pancreatic peptide hormone whose receptor (GCGR) is expressed in the liver, kidney, and, to a lesser extent, various other tissues. Glucagon is well known as the counterpart to insulin in glucose homeostasis. However, recent evidence has revealed other potential roles of glucagon, w...

Mazdutide, an agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptors, significantly reduced weight in early phase trials at doses up to 10 mg. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of mazdutide up to 16 mg in adults with...
Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucagon receptor (GCGR) dual agonist, along with GLP-1R monoagonist, show promise in treating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Liver fat and iron content are important surrogate markers for disease assessme...
The global rise in obesity and its associated health risks has driven the need for more effective pharmacological treatments. Glucagon receptor (GCGR)-based multi-agonist drugs are emerging as promising treatments for obesity, with several in advanced stages of clinical development. Agents like m...

Cognitive impairment and dementia are highly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recent studies have demonstrated that GLP-1 receptor agonists can improve cognitive function through brain activation in patients with T2DM, compared to other oral glucose-lowering drugs. Maz...

Evidence suggests that incretin-based dual agonist pharmacotherapy is helpful in persons with obesity. Mazdutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, may have efficacy in persons with overweight or obesity.In a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in China, we...
Recent studies with peptide-based incretin therapies have focussed mainly on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide and the dual agonist tirzepatide that engages receptors for GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Randomised clinical trials and 'r...
