Could a popular Weight-Loss drug help people with rare genetic obesity?

NCT ID NCT06380426

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

Summary

This study follows 175 adolescents and adults with monogenic obesity—a rare form caused by specific gene changes—who are taking semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy). Researchers will track weight and BMI changes over 4 years to see if the drug helps control weight in this group. The goal is to provide real-world evidence for using semaglutide in people who often don't respond well to diet, exercise, or surgery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that semaglutide is an effective treatment for managing weight in people with rare genetic obesity.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It is also small (175 people) and focused on a rare condition, so findings may not apply broadly.
