Effect of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors among Obese/Overweight Individuals Treated with Antipsychotic Drug Classes: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) constitute a drug class primarily developed for the treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes, although they have also provided significant benefit for subjects with obesity without underlying diabetes. Individuals with psychotic disorders who are receiving antipsychotic treatment are a patient population at risk of developing obesity, which is linked to other metabolic disturbances.

We searched PubMed and the Cochrane Library from inception to 1 December 2022, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) enrolling obese or overweight adult subjects with an underlying psychotic disorder treated with antipsychotic drugs, randomized either to GLP-1RAs or a control. We set as the primary efficacy outcome the
