NCT ID NCT06396416
First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual weight management program, including a weight-loss drug called semaglutide, can help people with obesity and advanced kidney disease lose enough weight to become eligible for a kidney transplant. About 60 adults with a BMI over 35 and high risk of kidney failure will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care. The main goal is to see if such a study is feasible, not yet to prove the program works.
