First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a digital lifestyle program (Noom®) can help adults maintain weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications like semaglutide. Participants who recently stopped a GLP-1 are randomly assigned to the digital program or usual care, and weight is tracked remotely for 12 months. The goal is to find an affordable, accessible way to support long-term weight maintenance.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a digital behavioral application called Noom® that provides strategies for weight maintenance
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a low-cost digital program helps people keep weight off after stopping GLP-1 medications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage study, and results may not apply to everyone. The digital program may not be effective for all participants.
