Could a diabetes drug curb alcohol cravings after bariatric surgery?

NCT ID NCT07223983

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This small pilot study at Yale tests whether semaglutide (a drug used for diabetes and weight loss) can help people who have had bariatric surgery and now struggle with alcohol use disorder. Ten adults will take the drug for three months and be followed for three more months to see if it reduces drinking and helps maintain weight loss. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and worth studying in larger trials.
