Gut hormone GIP may calm nausea by boosting blood flow to the abdomen
NCT ID NCT07687589
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether the gut hormone GIP can reduce nausea in healthy volunteers. Nausea is triggered using other gut hormones or a medication, and GIP is given intravenously to see if it lessens the sick feeling. The goal is to better understand how the gut and brain communicate to control nausea.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP)
- What this could lead to
- If GIP reduces nausea, it could point toward a new treatment for nausea without strong side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study in healthy people, so results may not apply to patients with chronic nausea. The effect may be weak or absent.
