New obesity drug KAI-7535: when should you take it?
NCT ID NCT07294898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study looked at how a low-fat meal and taking the drug in the evening affect levels of KAI-7535 in the blood. Eighteen healthy adults with overweight or obesity took the drug under different conditions. The goal was to understand the best way to take it, not to test weight loss itself.
