New weekly shot could help diabetics shed pounds
NCT ID NCT07400653
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a new medicine called MET097, given as a weekly injection, to help adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes lose weight. About 999 people will take part, with two-thirds getting the real drug and one-third getting a placebo. The study lasts about 21 months and will check how much weight participants lose and how their blood sugar changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MET097 (a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new weekly injection option for significant weight loss and better blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet known. The drug may cause side effects, and not everyone may achieve meaningful weight loss. Placebo group limits certainty.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
