NCT ID NCT07536516

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how certain diabetes medications (semaglutide, liraglutide, and tirzepatide) affect blood flow and oxygen use in the eyes of people with diabetes. Researchers will use special cameras to measure eye blood vessels and oxygen levels in 20 adults before and after starting these drugs. The goal is to learn more about how these treatments might influence eye health, especially diabetic retinopathy.

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 (semaglutide, liraglutide) and GIP/GLP-1 dual agonist (tirzepatide)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors understand how common diabetes drugs affect eye health, potentially guiding safer treatment choices.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 20 participants. It measures eye changes but does not test whether the drugs cause harm or benefit directly.
