NCT ID NCT07627074
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines weight loss in adults who took semaglutide (a prescription weight management drug) as part of their routine care. Researchers will analyze medical records from about 35,000 people with overweight or obesity to see how much weight they lost and whether they achieved meaningful reductions. The goal is to understand how effective semaglutide is outside of controlled clinical trials.
