New hope for Weight-Loss drug dropouts: can cagrilintide avoid the stomach woes?
NCT ID NCT07607587
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether cagrilintide, a new injectable drug, causes fewer stomach side effects than a placebo in people with obesity who previously quit GLP-1 medications due to nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. About 114 participants will receive either cagrilintide or a dummy shot for up to 8 months. The goal is to see if more people can stay on the drug without quitting because of stomach issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cagrilintide
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new weight-loss option for people who cannot tolerate common GLP-1 medications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase feasibility study, so results may not confirm effectiveness or safety. The drug may also cause its own side effects.
