Semaglutide and, most recently, tirzepatide have demonstrated that a two-digit weight loss at one year is achievable and the Phase II data with retatrutide suggest that 100 percent of patients can now achieve the 5 percent weight loss that was targeted in the past. The next stage in obesity research needs to bring affordable and accessible drugs that can lead to selective fat loss, preservation of lean body mass and long-term weight maintenance. As with many other chronic diseases, combination therapies with complementary modes of action will be required to successfully treat patients with obesity.
The objective of this webinar is to discuss the potential next steps in obesity pharmacotherapy. The expert speakers will discuss potential complementary pathogenic targets to improve the quality of the weight loss (fat loss vs lean body mass loss), minimize metabolic adaptation and facilitate long term weigh maintenance
Finally, they will focus on brain imaging and how it can help to understand eating behavior and neurocognitive measures in obesity. The webinar will conclude with the current challenges and mitigation strategies for future clinical trials in obesity.
Register for this webinar today to understand the latest advancements related to obesity pharmacotherapy.
