First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two versions of the experimental drug cagrilintide in 234 adults with overweight or obesity. Participants receive either version D or version B by injection once a week for about 6 months. The goal is to see how the drug is processed in the body, not to measure weight loss directly.
