NCT ID NCT07042672
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding GLP-1 weight-loss drugs to cognitive behavioral therapy helps adults with severe obesity and binge eating disorder. About 80 participants will either take a GLP-1 drug or not, while both groups attend therapy sessions. Researchers will track changes in binge eating symptoms, weight, and harmful coping behaviors over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GLP-1 receptor agonists (liraglutide, semaglutide, or tirzepatide)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining GLP-1 drugs with behavioral therapy improves control of binge eating and weight more than therapy alone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, non-randomized observational study, so results may not prove cause and effect. GLP-1 drugs can cause side effects like nausea and are not a standalone cure for binge eating.
