Magnets in the gut: a new way to treat obesity and diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07085741
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study is testing a new magnetic device that creates a shortcut in the digestive system to help people with obesity and type 2 diabetes lose weight and control blood sugar. Ten adults aged 18-65 with a BMI between 30 and 35 will have the device placed using a scope, without traditional surgery. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and works as intended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MAGNET System, DI Biofragmentable (a magnetic device placed in the digestive tract to create a new connection between the duodenum and ileum)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive, reversible alternative to traditional weight-loss surgery for controlling obesity and type 2 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device could fail to create a lasting connection, or may cause complications like blockage or infection.
