Liver health may impact how Weight-Loss drug works
NCT ID NCT05564104
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests how the experimental drug cagrilintide, being developed for weight management, is processed by the body in people with different levels of liver function. It involves 32 participants, including those with liver impairment and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if liver problems change how the drug is absorbed and eliminated, which could guide future dosing.
