Article Synopsis
- Current smoking cessation treatments have limited success in preventing postcessation weight gain (PCWG), prompting exploration of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) as a potential solution.
- A clinical trial is designed to test the effectiveness of exenatide, paired with nicotine patches, in aiding smoking cessation and managing weight gain among smokers with pre-diabetes or overweight conditions at two research sites in Texas.
