New hope for cystic fibrosis diabetes: GLP-1 drug shows promise in small study

NCT ID NCT05788965

First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This pilot study tested whether adding a GLP-1 drug (semaglutide) to insulin helps overweight adults with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes lose weight and improve blood sugar control. Eight participants took the drug for 12 weeks. The study aimed to see if the drug is safe and tolerable, and measured changes in weight, BMI, and blood sugar levels. Because participants continue insulin and the condition requires ongoing management, this is a disease control study.
