First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed Phase 2 trial tested whether enobosarm, an experimental oral drug, can prevent muscle loss in older adults (aged 60+) who are taking GLP-1 receptor agonists like Wegovy for chronic weight management. The study enrolled 168 participants and measured changes in lean body mass and fat mass over 112 days. The goal is to help people lose fat while keeping or building muscle, improving strength and physical function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

enobosarm (a selective androgen receptor modulator, SARM)

What this could lead to

If it works, enobosarm could help people on weight-loss drugs like Wegovy preserve muscle while losing fat, improving overall body composition and physical function.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 study with only 168 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Enobosarm is still experimental and its long-term safety is unknown.
