Can a new injection slow stomach emptying to curb obesity?
NCT ID NCT07738614
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether an investigational drug called eloralintide can slow down how quickly the stomach empties, which may help people feel fuller longer and support weight management. The study involves about 56 adults who are overweight or have obesity but are otherwise healthy. Participants receive multiple doses of the drug or a placebo, and researchers measure stomach emptying using a standard test with acetaminophen, along with checking the drug's safety and how it moves through the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Eloralintide (also known as LY3841136), an investigational drug given by injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for obesity that helps control appetite and weight by slowing stomach emptying.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not hold up in larger studies. The drug may also cause side effects or fail to show meaningful benefit.
