Efinopegdutide beats semaglutide at reducing liver fat in NAFLD patients
Treatment with the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucagon receptor co-agonist efinopegdutide results in a greater decrease in liver fat content (LFC) relative to the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), results of a phase IIa trial have shown.

Do alpha-1 receptor blockers prevent severe COVID-19?
Frequent use of alpha-1 receptor blockers neither increases nor reduces the risk of uncomplicated or severe COVID-19 hospitalization in older men with or without benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), reveals a recent study.

Serplulimab-chemo shows promise for squamous NSCLC
Patients with previously untreated, locally advanced, or metastatic squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may derive benefit from the addition of the novel anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody serplulimab to chemotherapy, according to the final analysis of the phase III ASTRUM-004 study.

Semaglutide scores again, this time for HFpEF in obese
Once weekly injection of semaglutide causes weight loss in obese patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), with positive shifts in symptoms and improvements in physical limitations in the STEP-HFpEF trial presented at ESC 2023.

T-DXd shows meaningful and durable responses in previously treated HER2-mutant mNSCLC
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) at both 5.4 mg/kg and 6.4 mg/kg doses provides clinically meaningful and durable responses in patients with previously treated HER2-mutant (HER2m) metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC), with the 5.4 mg/kg dose showing a more favourable benefit/risk profile, according to primary results of the phase II DESTINY-Lung02 trial.

Low visceral fat area predicts poor survival in cancer patients
Visceral fat area (VFA) is a reliable prognostic indicator of muscle mass and is associated with nutritional, immune, and inflammatory status in patients with diverse types of cancer, such as gastric, colorectal, and nonsmall-cell lung cancers (NSCLC), claims a recent study.

Living near a major road may accelerate lung function decline in IPF patients
People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who live near a major road tend to have a faster decrease in lung function, according to a study in Australia. Likewise, increased exposure to fine particulate matter (<2.5 μm, PM2.5) is associated with a higher rate of annual decline in diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLco).
