Abstract

Purpose of Review

The aim of this article is to review the current pharmacologic treatment options available for the treatment of obesity. The efficacy of each medication and its effect on cardiometabolic profile is highlighted. The use of off-label medications is discussed, along with medications currently under development.

Recent Findings

Achieving and maintaining long-term clinically significant weight loss is likely to require the use of two or more anti-obesity medications. While the current evidence for combination therapies is limited, polypharmacotherapy is an area of active research, and emerging therapies are anticipated to be multi-target agents. Promising medications in the pipeline include dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists, combination GLP-1 receptor agonists and amylin analogues, dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonists, and tripeptides.

Summary

This review aims to summarize the current pharmacologic treatment options available for the treatment of obesity. Medication regimens should be individualized to the patient to optimize benefits versus risks. Consider combinations of anti-obesity medications with different mechanisms to overcome the biological compensatory mechanisms that drive weight regain. Off-label prescribing may be necessary to overcome barriers to care and should be informed by current evidence.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.
