OBJECTIVE To determine patient characteristics and dose titration patterns of real-world Wegovy (semaglutide) users. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used a population-based cohort study including Danish adults who filled Wegovy prescriptions from 12 December 2022 to 31 December 2023. Outcomes were patient characteristics, prescriber type, and dose titration patterns. RESULTS We identified 110,748 individuals (median age 49 years; 70% female) filling 773,708 prescriptions for Wegovy. General practitioners initiated treatment in 86%. Common comorbidities included hypertension (30%), dyslipidemia (17%), and arthrosis (17%). Only 13% reached the maximum dose of 2.4 mg by their fifth prescription, while 5.7% stopped after the first prescription. Few users (10%) followed recommended dose increases every 4 weeks. Overall, 25% filled at least one prescription of 2.4 mg, while 33–48% continued with the 1.0-mg dosage from the fourth prescription onward. CONCLUSIONS Real-world Wegovy users generally resembled trial participants, but few follow the dose titration schemes tested in premarket clinical trials.

索马鲁肽在体重管理中的实际应用:患者特征和剂量滴定——丹麦队列研究



目的 确定现实世界 Wegovy(索马鲁肽)使用者的患者特征和剂量滴定模式。研究设计和方法 我们采用了一项基于人群的队列研究,包括 2022 年 12 月 12 日至 2023 年 12 月 31 日期间服用 Wegovy 处方的丹麦成年人。结果包括患者特征、处方者类型和剂量滴定模式。结果 我们确定了 110,748 名个人(中位年龄 49 岁;70% 为女性),为 Wegovy 开出了 773,708 份处方。 86% 的患者由全科医生开始治疗。常见的合并症包括高血压(30%)、血脂异常(17%)和关节病(17%)。只有 13% 的人在第五次处方时达到了 2.4 毫克的最大剂量,而 5.7% 的人在第一次处方后停止服用。很少有使用者 (10%) 遵循每 4 周增加一次推荐剂量。总体而言,25% 的人至少服用了一张 2.4 毫克的处方,而 33-48% 的人从第四张处方开始继续服用 1.0 毫克的剂量。结论 现实世界的 Wegovy 用户通常与试验参与者相似,但很少有人遵循上市前临床试验中测试的剂量滴定方案。
