About this trial

Eligible patients were randomized into two groups: the GLP-1 group and the control group. The control group received a placebo along with standard care, without any additional GLP-1-based intervention. The GLP-1 group, in addition to standard care, received a subcutaneous injection of a GLP-1 analog (semaglutide injection) strictly according to the drug manufacturer's instructions. The initial dose of semaglutide was 0.25 mg once weekly. Treatment was continued over a 28-days period. Primary and secondary outcomes will be collected.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

    Drug

    GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide) are medications that mimic the action of the native human hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The recommended dosage is 0.25 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly.
