Semaglutide Tackles Metabolic Issues in Schizophrenia

JAMA Network

About The Study: The results of this randomized clinical trial show that adjunctive semaglutide significantly improved glycemic control and weight outcomes in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Secondary outcomes were exploratory. These findings support the use of glucagon-like peptide–1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) as a potential early intervention strategy to reduce cardiometabolic risk in this vulnerable population.
