New weight-loss drug aims for lasting results in large phase 3 trial
NCT ID NCT07684235
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 7 times
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.
