An investigational oral GLP-1 receptor agonist improved obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among patients with obesity or overweight, according to results from a clinical trial recently published in JAMA.
Patients taking orforglipron (Foundayo) experienced about a dozen fewer breathing stops or significant obstructions during sleep than patients receiving placebo. The manufacturer, Eli Lilly and Company, has plans to submit the drug for an OSA indication to the FDA before 2027.
While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices are a first-line treatment, poor patient tolerance often undercuts effectiveness. If approved for OSA, orforglipron would join a growing list of sleep apnea treatments, including the injection tirzepatide. mdsc.pe/4f4OGyX

Five liver societies from around the world have agreed upon a single definition of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), resolving longstanding regional differences in how ACLF is defined, experts said.
The consensus is a "historic milestone in hepatology," said Debbie Shawcross, MBBS, PhD, of King's College London, United Kingdom, who introduced the consensus in a session at The Liver Meeting 2026: American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD).
"This is the foundation that we can [use to] improve clinical care for patients with ACLF, we can accelerate research, we can develop urgently needed therapies, and we can improve outcomes for patients worldwide," Shawcross explained. The consensus was published in Hepatologyand presented at the meeting by representatives from each working group. mdsc.pe/4iBxiEf

Medical organizations are starting to make recommendations about how lawmakers, courts, and regulators should address a sensitive topic: How should clinicians be held accountable when they rely on AI and a patient is harmed?
The American Medical Association (AMA) last week announced such a new “framework,” recommending strong liability protections for physicians using clinical AI tools. The AMA also told the FDA that AI developers should bear the burden of making sure AI-assisted medical devices work properly.
Meanwhile, the Federation of State Medical Boards has enlisted regulators and industry associations to come up with accountability guidelines with recommendations expected this spring. Tap the link to read more: mdsc.pe/3Uwr6Eq

Menopausal hormone therapy initiation in perimenopausal and recently postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms was associated with a reduction in the risk for cardiovascular disease. Researchers emulated a sequence of target trials — using data from a longitudinal study of the menopause transition, with data collected from 1996 to 2017 — to assess the effect of initiating MHT during perimenopause or early postmenopause on the risk for CVD in women with any vasomotor symptoms.
MHT initiation was associated with a reduced risk for composite CVD events compared with noninitiation . mdsc.pe/4k5NYVD
