Heart and metabolism effects of once-weekly IcoSema in adults with type 2 diabetes

Updated

Abstract

Once-weekly IcoSema could address glycemic control, weight, and multiple cardiometabolic risk factors with a single injection.

  • Patients with type 2 diabetes have a high residual risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
  • Current therapies may not fully mitigate this risk.
  • IcoSema is a combination of two medications: basal insulin icodec and semaglutide.
  • The combination therapy is administered once a week.
