New Dual-Action drug aims to tackle fatty liver where semaglutide falls short

NCT ID NCT07713992

First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether switching to a new drug called mazdutide can reduce liver fat more effectively than staying on semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes and moderate-to-severe fatty liver. Participants who have been on semaglutide for at least 16 weeks are randomly assigned to either switch to mazdutide or continue semaglutide. The main goal is to measure changes in liver fat using MRI and ultrasound.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist called mazdutide
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver who do not get enough benefit from semaglutide alone.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The results may not apply to all patients, and mazdutide may cause side effects like nausea or gastrointestinal issues.
