NCT ID NCT07353931
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This Phase 3 study tests a once-weekly injection called eloralintide in 900 adults with osteoarthritis of the knee who are also overweight or obese. The goal is to see if it reduces knee pain and helps with weight loss compared to a placebo. Participants will be in the study for about 75 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new treatment that eases knee pain and helps with weight loss in people with osteoarthritis and obesity.
- What could go wrong
