At the American College of Cardiology’s 73rd Annual Scientific Session, a study from the Gardy Health system in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, was presented investigating the rates of heart failure hospitalizations (HFH) in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients and diabetes patients on semaglutide.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) developed by Danish diabetes and obesity giant Novo Nordisk (NOV: N), sold as Ozempic for type 2 diabetes (T2D), Wegovy for obesity, and Rybelsus (in an oral form) for T2D.
Based on its increasing use in T2D and obesity, as well as data to support its use to treat HF, semaglutide will continue to be the market-leading GLP-1RA and will experience significant growth in market sales, particularly towards the end of the decade, says pharma analytics company GlobalData.
