NCT ID NCT07239973
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental weight loss pill called BGM0504 in 75 healthy and overweight or obese Chinese adults. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo to check for side effects and measure weight changes over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug is safe enough for further study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BGM0504 tablets
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new oral medication for weight management in overweight or obese individuals.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 75 participants, focused on safety. It is too small and early to know if the drug works or is safe long-term.
