Results from this study4

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone4

In this study, the peptide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking the peptide.

  1. 01HumanNot a test of Semaglutide aloneObservational studyOther

    In adults with overweight or obesity, 84.2% preferred a hypothetical semaglutide-like profile versus 15.8% for an orforglipron-like profile.

    In plain wordsAdults with overweight or obesity preferred a hypothetical semaglutide-like profile over an orforglipron-like profile in the experiment.

    Summary
    There was a preference for 1 OM profile (Treatment A-a hypothetical oral semaglutide-like profile) over the alternative OM profile (Treatment B-a hypothetical orforglipron-like profile), according to the responses from the DCE (84.2% vs. 15.8%) and the fixed-choice question (90.0% vs. 10.0%).
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    US adults with obesity or overweight and ≥ 1 obesity-related complication completed an online survey including a discrete-choice experiment (DCE) in October-November 2025.
    Summary · context
    In the DCE, participants chose between 2 hypothetical, experimentally designed OM profiles with attributes/levels related to efficacy, cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction, side effects, administration (route/frequency), and dosing instruction requirements.

    In this study, Semaglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Semaglutide.
