Stratified by GLP-1 related and non GLP-1 related treatments In the included RCTs, GLP-1 related drugs (including liraglutide, semaglutide, beinaglutide, exenatide, and AMG133) showed significant weight regain compared with control group (WMD = 1.78 kg, 95% CI 0.76 to 2.80, P = 0.006, I 2 = 85%)
But several other companies are working on semaglutide-like drugs, some will be cheaper to produce than semaglutide, and Morgan Stanley expects that this stronger level of competition will eventually drive costs down to $350/month ($4,000/year) by 2030
