Gene may determine how well Weight-Loss drugs work
NCT ID NCT06069622
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a person's genes (specifically the CAV-1 gene) affect how well GLP-1 weight-loss drugs lower blood pressure and body weight. Researchers will enroll 30 overweight or obese adults to take a GLP-1 drug and measure changes. The goal is to learn why some people respond better than others, which could lead to more personalized treatment.
