NCT ID NCT03525002

Summary

This study tested if a drug called bromocriptine helps people with obesity lose weight, and if it works better for those with a specific gene linked to higher body weight. 120 participants with obesity were randomly given either the drug or a placebo for 18 weeks, and their progress was tracked. The goal was to see if matching the treatment to a person's genetic makeup could lead to more effective, personalized weight management.
