What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This early-stage trial is checking whether maridebart cafraglutide, a new weight-loss drug, affects the heart's electrical activity. About 81 adults with overweight or obesity will receive the drug or a placebo, and their heart rhythms will be closely monitored. The main goal is safety, not weight loss.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
maridebart cafraglutide (AMG 133)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that maridebart cafraglutide is safe for the heart, supporting its development as a weight-loss treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 safety study with only 81 people. It is not designed to test weight loss, and the drug may still fail in later trials or have other side effects.

History of pancreatitis within the past year, or high blood tests suggesting pancreatic problems (lipase/amylase \> 2× normal, or fasting triglycerides \> 500 mg/dL). 4. Liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] or aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\]) more than 2× the upper limit of normal. 5. Kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\]) \< 70 mL/min/1.73 m\^2. 6.
