NCT ID NCT06564441
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial looked at whether multiple doses of Survodutide, a weight-loss drug, change how the body absorbs and processes three common drugs: bupropion (an antidepressant), caffeine, and midazolam (a sedative). Thirty-four otherwise healthy adults with overweight or obesity took these drugs alone and then again while on Survodutide. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood to see if Survodutide interferes with them. The goal is to understand potential drug interactions for future safe use.
