Roche AG has reported strong results from a mid-stage clinical trial of its experimental weight loss drug, CT-388, showing that study subjects lost an average of 22.5% of their body weight after 48 weeks of observation. Based on these findings, the company plans to move the drug into large Phase 3 trials later this year.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system (normally responsible for fighting infections) mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. This misdirected response can cause inflammation, pain, fatigue, and damage to organs or entire systems. More than 80 autoimmune conditions have been identified by medical professionals, but some are far more common and better understood than others.

Welcome to Part 2 of our ongoing series covering autoimmune diseases. Today we’ll be learning about autoimmune diseases that specifically affect the endocrine system, and cause hormone imbalances which can upset the body’s natural functions.

Welcome to part one of a multi-part series exploring the relatively under-studied classification of Auto Immune Diseases. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be diving into the various types of these chronic conditions and how the standard of care is changing and evolving as new research and treatment options become available.

A small but groundbreaking new study hints that gene editing may one day offer a permanent fix for dangerously high cholesterol. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the pilot trial tested a CRISPR-Cas9–based treatment in 15 people with severe cholesterol problems. CRISPR works like tiny biological scissors, cutting and switching off specific genes.
A new clinical trial has some exciting news for people with type 2 diabetes: a daily pill utilizing the molecule orforglipron helped participants lose almost as much weight as popular injectable drugs like Ozempic. And because it’s taken orally, it could make treatment much simpler and more accessible. The study followed more than 1,600 adults across 10

Following the success of Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and other GLP-1 receptor agonists, pharmaceutical companies are racing to develop the next wave of metabolic drugs. These new therapies build on the proven benefits of currently approved GLP-1s—lowering blood sugar, supporting weight loss, and reducing cardiovascular risk—while aiming for even greater results in weight management and metabolic health.
