New obesity drug GZR18 under microscope: how does it interact with common meds?
NCT ID NCT07128888
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests GZR18, an injectable drug for obesity or overweight, in 60 Chinese adults. Researchers want to see how it affects stomach emptying and whether it changes how the body processes digoxin (heart medication), rosuvastatin (cholesterol drug), and warfarin (blood thinner). Participants receive GZR18 for 16 weeks, then take the other drugs for 6 weeks while being monitored. The goal is to understand safety and dosing, not to treat obesity directly.
