New drug combo targets liver damage and alcohol use in one shot
NCT ID NCT06409130
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether certain drugs (NNC0194-0499, semaglutide, and cagrilintide) can reduce liver damage and alcohol use in people with alcohol-related liver disease. About 270 adults with a history of heavy drinking took part. Participants received different drug combinations or a placebo for up to 39 weeks. The goal was to see if these treatments could help control the disease and reduce drinking.
