Weight loss jab shows promise for rare obesity syndrome
NCT ID NCT07602803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how safe and effective weekly weight loss injections (like Mounjaro) are for adults with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), a rare genetic condition that often causes severe obesity. Researchers compared weight changes in 300 patients who took the medication versus those who did not. The goal was to see if these injections can help manage weight long-term in people with BBS.
