Initial concerns were raised after findings from the cardiovascular outcome trial (CVOT), Semaglutide Unabated Sustainability in Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes 6 (SUSTAIN 6), revealed a greater risk of DR-related complications, defined as the need for laser therapy, intravitreal injections, development of vitreous hemorrhage, and blindness, in semaglutide users compared to placebo (3.0% vs 1.8%, HR=1.76, P =.02)
The objective of this study was to assess cardiovascular (CV), metabolic, and renal effects of combination therapy with newer generation GLP-1RA (including once-weekly GLP-1RAs, once-daily oral semaglutide, and dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide [GIP] agonists) and SGLT2i compared with SGLT2i alone
