SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION Add-on to 1-3 oral anti-hyperglycemic agents (metformin, sulfonylurea, or SGLT-2 inhibitor) SURPASS-4 (NCT03730662) was a 104-week open-label trial (52-week primary endpoint) that randomized 2002 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with increased cardiovascular risk to subcutaneous MOUNJARO 5 mg, MOUNJARO 10 mg, MOUNJARO 15 mg once weekly, or insulin glargine 100 units/mL once daily (1:1:1:3 ratio) on a background of metformin (95%) and/or sulfonylureas (54%) and/or SGLT2 inhibitors (25%)
Considering the positive results supported by studies, l-carnitine appears a very interesting agent in the treatment of cancer cachexia
Metformin is widely available as a generic and is often prescribed as a first-line treatment for Type 2 diabetes
