New pill for weight loss? early safety trial underway
NCT ID NCT05313802
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an oral drug called LY3502970 in 72 healthy overweight and obese adults to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. Participants took the drug by mouth, and researchers monitored side effects and drug levels in the blood over up to 42 days. The goal was to gather early safety data, not to measure weight loss.
