The Phase 3 ATTAIN-1 trial had good results that led to this approval, but not all positive: 12.4% average weight loss (27.3 lbs) at highest dose Lower than the 15-20% weight loss seen with injectables Wegovy and Zepbound Nearly 1/4 of participants on the highest dose reported vomiting Vomiting rates are much higher than injectable GLP-1s However, there is likely a niche for Foundayo (along with the pill version of Wegovy) due to convenience: No refrigeration requirements or injection site reactions Eliminates barriers for patients avoiding injectables due to stigma, needle aversion, or storage constraints It's possible we could see this as a "maintenance" therapy after an initial injectable course

Semaglutide 2.4mg once weekly, a subcutaneously administered GLP-1 RA approved for obesity treatment in 2021, results in 1517% mean weight loss (WL) with evidence of cardioprotection
That includes the anti-inflammatory effect, the ability to reduce cell death and promote autophagy, and also its indirect effects through blood pressure, obesity, and glucose/lipid metabolism

Summary-data-based MR (SMR) and IVW were used to calculate the effect estimates

The effect was particularly strong at low glucose concentrations
