Can a new injection slow stomach emptying to curb obesity?

This early-stage trial is testing whether an investigational drug called eloralintide can slow down how quickly the stomach empties, which may help people feel fuller longer and support weight management. The study involves about 56 adults who are overweight or have obesity but are otherwise healthy. Participants receive multiple doses of the drug or a placebo, and researchers measure stomach emptying using a standard test with acetaminophen, along with checking the drug's safety and how it moves through the body.
