New shot could boost opioid recovery, early trial hopes
NCT ID NCT07420283
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding brenipatide to standard buprenorphine treatment helps people with opioid use disorder stay off opioids longer. About 465 participants will receive either brenipatide or a placebo injection alongside their usual medication. The study measures weeks of abstinence through urine tests and self-reports over up to 144 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- brenipatide (also known as LY3537031)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new add-on treatment to help people with opioid use disorder stay abstinent longer during early recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial, so results are uncertain. The added benefit over standard buprenorphine alone may be small or none, and side effects of brenipatide are not yet fully known.
