NCT ID NCT07374445
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether liraglutide, a drug used for diabetes and weight loss, can help people who are still obese 6 months after metabolic surgery lose more weight. 100 participants received liraglutide injections for 24 weeks along with diet and exercise guidance. The goal was to see if starting liraglutide early after surgery leads to greater weight loss and metabolic benefits.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to help people who don't lose enough weight after metabolic surgery achieve further weight loss.

This is a small, completed observational study, not a large randomized trial. Results may not apply to everyone, and liraglutide can cause side effects like nausea or pancreatitis.
