New obesity drug ZT002 tested for safety with other medications
NCT ID NCT07550816
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study looks at how ZT002, a long-acting experimental drug for weight management, affects the way the body processes four common medications (metformin, warfarin, rosuvastatin, and digoxin). About 60 overweight or obese but otherwise healthy adults aged 18-45 will take these drugs with and without ZT002 to measure any changes. The goal is purely to gather safety and interaction data, not to treat or cure obesity.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age between 18 - 45 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing of the informed consent; * Male (body weight \>60.0 kg) or female (body weight \>55.0 kg). Body mass index (BMI) 24.0 - 35.0 kg/m²(both inclusive); * Considered to be generally healthy based on physical examination, and the results of vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests (hematology, urinalysis, chemistry, coagulation), as judged by the investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant diseases detected within 6 months before screening (including but not limited to neurological, psychiatric, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory, urinary, hematological, immunological diseases), judged by the investigator as possible to influence the study result or introduce safety risk to study drug administration; * History of dysphagia or any gastrointestinal tract disease that affects drug absorption; * Known hypersensitivity (asthma, hypersensitivity to GLP-1 receptor agonists or excipients), or known hypersensitivity to ZT002 injection; * History of inspirational pneumonia within 5 years before screening; * Medical history of hypoglycemia within 6 months before screening; * History of acute or chronic pancreatitis; * Cholelithiasis ≤ 1 cm, or history of cholecystitis or other symptomatic gallbladder disease, with the exception of cholecystectomy \> 6 months prior to screening; * History or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2; * Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5% or fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L at screening; * Aspartate aminotransferase ≥ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN), Alanine aminotransferase ≥ 2 × ULN, * Alkaline phosphatase total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 × ULN; * Calcitonin above ULN at screening; * Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) \< 0.4 or \>6.0 mIU/L; * Use of hypoglycemic drugs (e.g. insulin, insulin secretagogues, thiazolidinedione, sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitors \[SGLT2i\], dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor \[DPP-4i\], glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist \[GLP-1RA\], metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitor) within 3 months before screening; * Use of prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, vitamins, or herbal medicines (excluding topical eye/nose drops and external use on the skin without systemic exposure risk) within 2 weeks before screening. Exclusion criteria only applicable to Cohort 1: * History that increases risk of bleeding, e.g. aneurysm, aortic dissection, cerebral vascular malformation, acute gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer; hemorrhoid bleeding within 1 month prior to screening; * Hypersensitivity to metformin or warfarin; * Prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) above ULN and judged as clinically significant by investigator; * Platelet \< 100x109/L; * Ventricular rate \< 50 or \> 100 bpm, second or third degree of atrioventricular block, left bundle branch block, complete right bundle branch block, or QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 450 ms, or other abnormal electrocardiogram of clinical significance. Exclusion criteria only applicable to Cohort 2: * History of unexplained myalgia or myasthenia, or diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis; * Hypersensitivity to rosuvastatin or digoxin; * Unexplained creatine kinase above ULN; * Serum potassium out of reference range; * Ventricular rate \< 55 or \> 100 bpm, atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block of any degree, preexcitation syndrome, left bundle branch block, complete right bundle branch block, or QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 450 ms, or other abnormal electrocardiogram of clinical significance.
