Semaglutide Treatment Options in Massachusetts

Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real-world data through large-scale emulation of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies. Read Less

This study will look at how well CagriSema helps people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. CagriSema will be compared to a medicine called tirzepatide that doctors may prescribe in some countries. Participants will get either CagriSema or tirzepatide. Which treatment participant get is decided by chance like flipping a coin. Participant will have an equal chance of receiving either drug. For each participant, the study will last for up to one and a half years. Read Less

Semaglutide is a medicine studied in patients with NASH. Semaglutide is a well-known medicine, which is already used by doctors to treat type 2 diabetes in many countries. Participants will either get semaglutide or a dummy medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will need to inject themselves with medicine under the skin. Participants will need to do this once a week. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 21 clinic visits and 9 phone calls with the clinical staff during the study. Some of the clinic visits may be spread over more than one day. Participants with other chronic liver diseases cannot take part in this study. Women cannot take part in the study if they are pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period. Read Less

The study will look at how well CagriSema helps people lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new weekly medicine that combines two medicines called semaglutide and cagrilintide. CagriSema will be compared to the two medicines semaglutide and cagrilintide, when they are taken alone. CagriSema will also be compared to a "dummy" medicine without any active ingredient. The study will be done in participants who have type 2 diabetes. Participants will take the study medicine together with the current diabetes medicine (metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor).

This is a Phase IIb, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AZD5004 in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, compared to placebo and active comparator. Read Less

This study compares semaglutide, together with a lower dose of insulin glargine, to a higher dose of insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes. The study looks at how well the study medicines control blood glucose levels. Participants will either get semaglutide together with a lower dose of insulin glargine or a higher dose of insulin glargine. The study will last for about 47 weeks (approximately 11 months). Participants will have 9 clinic visits, 15 phone/video calls and 1 home visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures their blood sugar all the time in 2 periods of 10 days during the study. Read Less

This study will look at the long-term effects of semaglutide (active medicine) on diabetic eye disease when compared to placebo (dummy medicine). The study will be performed in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo in addition to their diabetes medicines - which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants will inject the study medicine using a pen-injector. The medicine must be injected in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week. The study will last for 5 years.

The study will look at the effects of NNC0194-0499, cagrilintide and semaglutide, on liver damage and alcohol use in participants with alcoholic liver disease. Participants will get NNC0194-0499, semaglutide, cagrilintide or ''dummy" medicine in different treatment combinations. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 39 weeks. Read Less

The is a pilot, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) newly initiating buprenorphine to receive either weekly injections of semaglutide (n=23) or matching placebo (n=23). The primary aim is to determine the effects of semaglutide on cue-reactivity among individuals with OUD. The secondary aim is to assess the preliminary efficacy, safety, and tolerability of semaglutide for OUD. Read Less

This study will look at how much CagriSema helps participants with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar and body weight. CagriSema is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe CagriSema. CagriSema will be compared to a "dummy" medicine (also called "placebo") that has no effect on the body. Participants will get either CagriSema or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. For each participant, the study will last for about one year. Read Less

The obesity epidemic presents a growing concern in the United States, affecting more than 42% of adults. This epidemic extends its impact to chronic diseases and escalating healthcare expenses. Its reach has even influenced the military, with more than 20% of Soldiers being classified as obese, based on Body Mass Index ≥30 kg/m2. Current preventative and countermeasures have produced limited success, prompting consideration of pharmacotherapy. Within this context, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), such as semaglutide, have emerged as a promising treatment for obesity. Semaglutide can induce significant weight loss, primarily through fat reduction. However, questions persist regarding its effects on lean mass, physical performance, bone structure, and how it influences the underlying metabolic and hormonal milieu. Furthermore, no studies have been completed in military personnel, who must exercise regularly. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a single-center, open-label, observational trial. The trial will consist of a 24-week semaglutide treatment period and a non-treated 52-week follow-up period. We will test the feasibility and potential benefits of semaglutide in military populations, with a focus on understanding how semaglutide influences body composition, physical performance, hormones, and metabolism. This research holds military significance as obesity rates among service members continue to rise, undermining their medical readiness. Ultimately, it is important to understand if GLP-1RAs can provide a viable solution to obesity in military personnel and if there might be an unexpected effect on physical readiness due to the nature of the weight loss. This could cut down on healthcare expenses by reducing the reliance on weight-related initiatives and, consequently, lowering military separations. Read Less
