Novel GLP-1 receptor agonists for diabetes

Garber, Alan J·2012·Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to be effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although the first GLP-1 receptor agonist, exenatide, was approved in the mid-2000s, other agents with longer durations of action (that do not require twice-daily dosing) are now being developed. Indeed, liraglutide, a once-daily GLP-1 receptor agonist, was approved in 2010, and more recently, a once-weekly formulation of exenatide was approved in 2011. This review considers the mechanism of action of GLP-1 receptor agonists and considers the various agents in this class. AREAS COVERED: The importance of GLP-1 itself in glycemic control and the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists in T2DM are discussed. An overview of the clinical development of the five GLP-1 receptor agonists (exenatide, liraglutide, lixisenatide, albiglutide and taspoglutide) since 2005 is provided and their mechanisms of action, efficacy in terms of glycemic control and weight loss, and tolerability are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION: GLP-1 receptor agonists result in clinically meaningful weight loss in addition to their beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis. These agents provide substantial clinical benefits for patients compared with sulfonylureas or DPP-4 inhibitors and will, therefore, become one of the major therapeutic choices for patients with T2DM.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists may assist patients in reaching glycemic goals and controlling appetite, with possible reduction of uncontrollable hunger and bulimic symptoms.

    “Adjunctive medication such as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (86) may not only help individuals meet glycemic targets but also help regulate hunger and food intake, thus having the potential to reduce uncontrollable hunger and bulimic symptoms.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
