- OASIS 4: Significant Weight Loss With Oral Semaglutide Comparable With High-Dose, SC VersionsOral semaglutide 25 mg once daily was associated with significant weight loss vs. placebo, comparable with that seen with the 50 mg oral dose and with the subcutaneous (SC) injectable version of the drug, according to new results from the phase 3 OASIS 4 trial, published Sept. 17 in NEJM.
- Metoprolol Versus Aficamten in Patients With Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction on Exercise Capacity in HCMThe MAPLE-HCM trial showed that, among patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM, aficamten monotherapy was superior to metoprolol monotherapy in improving peak oxygen uptake and hemodynamics, and decreasing symptoms.
- A Study of Mavacamten in Nonobstructive Hypertrophic CardiomyopathyAmong patients with nonobstructive HCM in the ODYSSEY-HCM trial, mavacamten failed to significantly improve peak oxygen uptake or improve health status compared with placebo.
- ATTAIN-1: Oral Orforglipron Significantly Reduces Weight, Cardiometabolic RiskOrforglipron, a small-molecule, nonpeptide oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, at multiple doses produced significant weight loss and improved cardiometabolic risk factors compared with placebo, according to the phase 3 ATTAIN-1 trial, presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes General Assembly 2025 and simultaneously published Sept. 16 in NEJM.
