New drug cocktail aims to supercharge weight loss
NCT ID NCT06862791
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether two experimental drugs, AZD9550 and AZD6234, given together as weekly shots, help people with obesity or overweight lose more weight than a placebo or either drug alone. 377 adults aged 18-75 with a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one weight-related health issue took part. The main goal was to see how much weight they lost after 36 weeks.
