Abstract Background The SUSTAIN 6 trial demonstrated that once-weekly semaglutide (0.5 and 1.0 mg) significantly reduced major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events (MACE) vs placebo in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and high CV risk
Effects typically appear within 46 weeks
As of May 2026, FDA has also proposed excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B Bulks List, after stating that it did not identify a clinical need for outsourcing facilities to compound these drugs from bulk substances when FDA-approved versions are available
