A retrospective study in Cureus looks back at how well once-weekly semaglutide worked, and how safe it was, for teenagers with obesity.
Presented at Sleep Europe 2026, both trials found retatrutide lowered the apnea-hypopnea index more than placebo, including in people with type 2 diabetes.
Endpoints reports Eli Lilly is building a case for its triple agonist beyond obesity, where a launch is expected next year, with sleep apnea next in line.
