Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether the drug maridebart cafraglutide (MariTide) can help people with obesity or overweight lose weight and keep it off over the long term. Participants who completed an earlier trial will receive either the drug or a placebo. The study measures weight change and monitors for side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
maridebart cafraglutide (MariTide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a long-term treatment option for significant and sustained weight loss in people with obesity or overweight.
What could go wrong
This is an extension trial, so results depend on earlier findings. Weight loss may vary, and side effects are possible. Long-term safety is still being evaluated.
