Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality under treatment with GLP-1 RAs or the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide in overweight or obese adults without diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Among the currently approved antiobesity medications, the glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor-agonists (GLP-1 RAs) liraglutide and semaglutide, and the dual glucose-dependent-insulinotropic-polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 RA tirzepatide have been suggested to reduce cardiovascular-risk in overweight or obesity without diabetes.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the cardio- and neuroprotective potential of these novel agents in the nondiabetic overweight/obese adult population.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized-controlled clinical trials (RCTs) was performed to estimate the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in overweight or obese adults without diabetes treated with GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 RAs (vs placebo). Secondary outcomes included the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.
Sixteen RCTs (13 and 3 on GLP-1 RAs and tirzepatide, respectively) comprising 28,168 participants were included. GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 RAs reduced MACE (odds ratio (OR): 0.79; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-0.89; p < 0.01; I 2 = 0) and all-cause mortality (OR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.70-0.92; p < 0.01; I 2 = 0), while there was a trend toward lower cardiovascular-mortality (OR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.71-1.01; p = 0.06; I 2 = 0%) compared to placebo. Additionally, GLP-1 or GIP/GLP-1 RAs reduced the odds of MI (OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61-0.86; p < 0.01; I 2 = 0%) and nonfatal-MI (OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.61-0.85; p < 0.01; I 2 = 0%); while no associations between antiobesity treatment and fatal-MI, stroke, nonfatal, or fatal stroke were uncovered.
GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 RAs reduce cardiovascular-risk and all-cause mortality in overweight or obese adults without diabetes. Additionally, GLP-1 RAs and GIP/GLP-1 RAs attenuate the risk of MI. Since data on stroke are still limited, future RCTs are warranted to evaluate the neuroprotective potential of these novel antiobesity agents.

Management of type 2 diabetes with the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Tirzepatide is a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) currently under review for marketing approval. Individual trials have assessed the clinical profile of tirzepatide vs different comparators. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes.
We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and ClinicalTrials.gov up until 27 October 2021 for randomised controlled trials with a duration of at least 12 weeks that compared once-weekly tirzepatide 5, 10 or 15 mg with placebo or other glucose-lowering drugs in adults with type 2 diabetes irrespective of their background glucose-lowering treatment. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline. Secondary efficacy outcomes included change in body weight, proportion of individuals reaching the HbA1c target of <53 mmol/mol (<7.0%), ≤48 mmol/mol (≤6.5%) or <39 mmol/mol (<5.7%), and proportion of individuals with body weight loss of at least 5%, 10% or 15%. Safety outcomes included hypoglycaemia, gastrointestinal adverse events, treatment discontinuation due to adverse events, serious adverse events, and mortality. We used version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials to assess risk of bias for the primary outcome.
Seven trials (6609 participants) were included. A dose-dependent superiority in lowering HbA1c was evident with all three tirzepatide doses vs all comparators, with mean differences ranging from -17.71 mmol/mol (-1.62%) to -22.35 mmol/mol (-2.06%) vs placebo, -3.22 mmol/mol (-0.29%) to -10.06 mmol/mol (-0.92%) vs GLP-1 RAs, and -7.66 mmol/mol (-0.70%) to -12.02 mmol/mol (-1.09%) vs basal insulin regimens. Tirzepatide was more efficacious in reducing body weight; reductions vs GLP-1 RAs ranged from 1.68 kg with tirzepatide 5 mg to 7.16 kg with tirzepatide 15 mg. Incidence of hypoglycaemia with tirzepatide was similar vs placebo and lower vs basal insulin. Nausea was more frequent with tirzepatide vs placebo, especially with tirzepatide 15 mg (OR 5.60 [95% CI 3.12, 10.06]), associated with higher incidence of vomiting (OR 5.50 [95% CI 2.40, 12.59]) and diarrhoea (OR 3.31 [95% CI 1.40, 7.85]). Odds of gastrointestinal events were similar between tirzepatide and GLP-1 RAs, except for diarrhoea with tirzepatide 10 mg (OR 1.51 [95% CI 1.07, 2.15]). Tirzepatide 15 mg led to higher discontinuation rate of study medication due to adverse events regardless of comparator, while all tirzepatide doses were safe in terms of serious adverse events and mortality.
A dose-dependent superiority on glycaemic efficacy and body weight reduction was evident with tirzepatide vs placebo, GLP-1 RAs and basal insulin. Tirzepatide did not increase the odds of hypoglycaemia but was associated with increased incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events. Study limitations include presence of statistical heterogeneity in the meta-analyses for change in HbA1c and body weight, assessment of risk of bias solely for the primary outcome, and generalisation of findings mainly to individuals who are overweight or obese and already on metformin-based background therapy.

The Antiobesity Effect and Safety of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist in Overweight/Obese Adolescents Without Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), particularly semaglutide, have become the leading anti-obesity drugs for adults, and a similar trend may follow in adolescents with its recent approval for this age group. However, there is a lack of comparative analysis on the weight loss effects and safety of GLP-1 RAs in obese or overweight pediatric and adolescent populations, especially those who are non-diabetic. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide current evidence on the efficacy and safety of GLP-1 RAs as an anti-obesity treatment in obese or overweight non-diabetic pediatric and adolescent populations.
We searched electronic databases from inception until January 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that analyzed the weight loss effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists in adolescents with obesity or overweight without diabetes mellitus. Search results were screened, and eligible studies were included to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis using the Review Manager (RevMan) computer program Version 5.4.1 (The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020) with a random-effects model. The primary efficacy outcomes were changes in body weight, BMI, and BMI Z-score, while the secondary outcomes were the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events, treatment discontinuation rate due to adverse events, and incidence of serious adverse events. The mean difference, odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to present the meta-analysis results. Publication bias was visualized using a funnel plot. The quality of the studies was analyzed using Cochrane's Risk of Bias tool (RoB2).
A total of seven RCTs with 576 adolescent participants were included in the analysis. GLP-1 RAs significantly achieved greater weight loss than placebo, with a mean difference of -4.98 kg (-8.49, -1.46), I² = 99%, p = 0.006. Subgroup analysis showed that semaglutide had the most pronounced anti-obesity effect (mean difference of -17.70 kg (-18.89, -16.51), p < 0.00001), compared to liraglutide (mean difference of -2.26 kg (-5.17, 0.65), I² = 99%, p = 0.13) and exenatide (mean difference of -3.17 kg (-4.45, -1.90), I² = 0%, p < 0.0001). Similar results were obtained for other efficacy parameters such as BMI and BMI z-score. However, GLP-1 RA was associated with more gastrointestinal adverse events (such as nausea and vomiting) than placebo (3.06 (2.12, 4.42), I² = 0%, p < 0.00001), with incidence comparable among all GLP-1 RAs in the subgroup analysis. The overall risk of bias among included studies was either of 'some concern' or 'high risk.'
Our meta-analysis demonstrated that GLP-1 RAs had a superior anti-obesity effect compared to placebo or lifestyle modification in obese or overweight non-diabetic adolescents, particularly semaglutide, which had a more pronounced anti-obesity effect than liraglutide and exenatide, with tolerable gastrointestinal adverse effects.
