For instance, in November 2024, Novo Nordisk struck a USD 285 million deal with Ascendis Pharma in order to advance a once-monthly GLP-1 receptor agonist for obesity and diabetes treatment
3.3 Long-acting GLP1 receptor agonists: Once-weekly 3.3.1 Semaglutide SMG is an analog of long-acting GLP-1, mainly used to control T2DM, and is also suitable for promoting weight loss in people with mild obesity (95, 96)
Early work linked it to delta-wave activity, but later findings show a more complex profile
These multisystem benefits create a healthcare ROI calculation where GLP-1 therapy prevents conditions with substantially higher lifetime treatment costs than the drug itself
From maintaining electrolyte balance to supporting gut health and energy metabolism, targeted actives can make a meaningful difference
