GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and the Risk of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: Evidence from a Target Trial Emulation

This study evaluates the association between GLP-1 receptor agonists and ischemic optic neuropathy risk compared to SGLT2 and DPP-4 inhibitors, revealing a small but statistically significant increased risk with GLP-1RAs, particularly among older men with cardiovascular or eye conditions.

Semaglutide and Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: Synthesizing Evidence from Target Trial Emulations and Global Pharmacovigilance

This review synthesizes recent evidence regarding the association between semaglutide initiation and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), contrasting high-risk findings in real-world cohort studies with neutral findings in RCT meta-analyses and exploring potential mechanistic pathways.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Amplify Risk and Delay Onset of SJS/TEN: Evidence for a Two‑Hit Mechanism

A large FAERS analysis links immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to markedly increased SJS/TEN risk, demonstrates additive synergy with high‑risk small molecules, and shows delayed latency particularly with anti–PD‑1 agents — supporting a two‑hit, T‑cell–mediated model and urging cautious coprescribing and prospective study.
