First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 1 study investigates whether ZT002 (zovaglutide), an experimental injectable drug given every two weeks, affects the heart's electrical activity in overweight or obese adults. Researchers compare changes in the QT interval—a measure of heart rhythm—between those receiving ZT002 and those receiving a placebo. The trial enrolls about 40 healthy participants aged 18 to 45 with a BMI between 24 and 35.
