NCT ID NCT06804603

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

Summary

This study tested whether tradipitant, an oral capsule, can reduce nausea and vomiting in healthy overweight or obese volunteers who also received a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a class of weight-loss drugs). 124 participants were randomly assigned to tradipitant or a placebo. The main goal was to see if fewer people in the tradipitant group had vomiting episodes each week, tracked using a daily symptom diary.

Active substance

tradipitant

What this could lead to

If it works, tradipitant could help people taking GLP-1 drugs for weight loss or diabetes by reducing the nausea and vomiting that often cause people to stop treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study in healthy volunteers, not patients. The results may not apply to real-world use, and tradipitant might not prove effective or safe in larger trials.
