New semaglutide injection tested against wegovy for obesity
NCT ID NCT06738979
First seen Sep 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 25, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing a semaglutide injection called TQF3510 against Wegovy, a similar drug, in adults with obesity. The trial enrolls 408 people aged 18 to 70 with a body mass index of at least 28 who have tried dieting without success. Participants receive one of the two injections for 44 weeks, and researchers measure weight loss and waist circumference to see if the new injection works as well as Wegovy.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer another semaglutide option for weight management, potentially increasing access and competition.
