NCT ID NCT07223840

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called brenipatide against a placebo to see if it can help adults who have recently quit smoking stay smoke-free. About 222 participants will receive injections for 24 weeks and be followed for 8 more weeks. The main goal is to see if more people remain abstinent from cigarettes with brenipatide than with placebo.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
brenipatide
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new medication to help people who have quit smoking avoid relapsing.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 222 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not prove more effective than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
