NCT ID NCT06937203

First seen Nov 01, 2025

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ARO-ALK7 in adults with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes. The main goal is to check safety and how the body processes the drug, while also seeing if it helps with weight loss. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, and some will also take a standard diabetes medication. The trial is still in early phases, so it's focused on finding the right dose and ensuring it's safe.
