Based on the positive results of these clinical trials, the American Diabetes Association and European Association for the Study of Diabetes Consensus Report recommend the use of GLP-1RAs for treating patients with T2DM with atherosclerotic CVD and/or multiple coronary risk factors [8]
Research Support and Efficacy Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of semaglutide for weight loss: Clinical Trials : In a pivotal study involving approximately 2,000 adults with obesity or overweight (without diabetes), those using semaglutide in conjunction with lifestyle modifications lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks, compared to a mere 2.4% weight loss in the placebo group
