Diabetes drug semaglutide studied for lung clot recovery

NCT ID NCT06118203

First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This completed study tested whether semaglutide, a drug used for diabetes, could reduce inflammation in 18 people who had a blood clot in their lungs (pulmonary embolism). Researchers measured changes in blood markers of inflammation over 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the drug might help recovery, but the study was small and focused on lab results, not patient symptoms.
