Weight loss shot moves to monthly dosing in new trial
NCT ID NCT07292441
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 study tests whether switching to a once-monthly injection of GZR18 can help 500 overweight or obese adults maintain weight loss for an additional 24 weeks. All participants previously completed a year of biweekly GZR18 treatment. The study measures changes in body weight, waist size, and other health markers while everyone follows a regular diet and exercise plan.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GZR18 injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a once-monthly injection helps maintain or continue weight loss over 24 weeks, offering a more convenient option for managing obesity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study, so participants already benefited from the initial 52-week treatment. Results may not apply to new users, and weight regain or side effects are possible with less frequent dosing.
