NCT ID NCT06714825

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tested HS235, an experimental drug, in 39 overweight or obese but otherwise healthy adults. The main goal was to check safety and how the drug behaves in the body, not to measure weight loss. Participants received either HS235 or a placebo as a shot under the skin. Results will help decide if further studies are warranted.

What this could lead to

If safe and effective, HS235 could become a new option for weight management in people with overweight or obesity.
