Background Oral semaglutide is the first oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is commonly associated with renal impairment, restricting treatment options. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes and moderate renal impairment. Methods This randomised, double-blind, phase 3a trial was undertaken at 88 sites in eight countries. Patients aged 18 years and older, with type 2 diabetes, an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30-59 mL/min per 1•73 m², and who had been receiving a stable dose of metformin or sulfonylurea, or both, or basal insulin with or without metformin for the past 90 days were eligible. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) by use of an interactive web-response system, with stratification by glucose-lowering medication and renal function, to receive oral semaglutide (dose escalated to 14 mg once daily) or matching placebo for 26 weeks, in addition to background medication. Participants and site staff were masked to assignment. Two efficacy-related estimands were defined: treatment policy (regardless of treatment discontinuation or rescue medication) and trial product (on treatment without rescue medication) in all participants randomly assigned. Endpoints were change from baseline to week 26 in HbA1c (primary endpoint) and bodyweight (confirmatory secondary endpoint), assessed in all participants with sufficient data. Safety was assessed in all participants who received at least one dose of study drug. This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02827708, and the European Clinical Trials Registry, number EudraCT 2015-005326-19, and is now complete.

Клинические рекомендации «Ожирение»*: на что обратить внимание В декабре 2020 г. Научно-практическим советом Минздрава России были утверждены клинические рекомендации «Ожирение», разработанные Российской ассоциацией эндокринологов в сотрудничестве с Обществом бариатрических хирургов. Этот документ был подготовлен в соответствии с методическими рекомендациями Минздрава России и опубликован на сайте cr.rosminzdrav.ru. Одной из задач, поставленных в ходе работы над обновленными рекомендациями, было отразить то новое, что появилось в клинической практике врача-эндокринолога за последние годы, а именно: • новые подходы к классификации ожирения; • новые препараты для лечения ожирения; • объединение бариатрической хирургии и практической эндокринологии. Следует отметить, что эти клинические рекомендации посвящены первичному ожирению. Патогенез, эпидемиология, особенности клинической картины и лечения вторичного ожирения, когда оно является симптомом какого-либо другого заболевания, в данном документе не рассматриваются.Чл.-кор.
