The following search algorithm was applied: ((GLP-1 receptor agonist OR glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist OR GIP receptor agonist OR glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide OR liraglutide OR semaglutide OR dulaglutide OR tirzepatide) AND (body composition OR fat mass OR muscle mass OR lean mass OR adiposity OR body fat OR sarcopenia)) AND (clinical trial OR study OR randomized controlled trial OR RCT OR intervention study)
Excess insulin can lead to insulin resistance, which reduces insulin effectiveness and leads to high blood sugar levels
Several factors contribute to these elevated costs: Patent protection Most GLP-1 medications are still under patent, preventing generic competition Manufacturing complexity These are biologic medications that require specialized production processes Research and development costs Pharmaceutical companies invest heavily in clinical trials and regulatory approval Market positioning These medications are often priced as premium treatments Without insurance coverage, patients face the full retail price, which can make these medications financially inaccessible for many people who need them
More recently, a long-acting exendin-4-based analog bound to the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) known as efpeglenatide is under clinical development, and would also be suitable for a once-weekly injection [8,9]
