Will a new weight-loss drug mess with your coffee or antidepressants? a new study aims to find out.
NCT ID NCT06564441
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed Phase 1 trial looked at whether multiple doses of Survodutide, a weight-loss drug, change how the body absorbs and processes three common drugs: bupropion (an antidepressant), caffeine, and midazolam (a sedative). Thirty-four otherwise healthy adults with overweight or obesity took these drugs alone and then again while on Survodutide. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood to see if Survodutide interferes with them. The goal is to understand potential drug interactions for future safe use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Survodutide (also known as BI 456906), bupropion, caffeine, midazolam
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand whether Survodutide changes how other drugs work in the body, guiding safer use in people with overweight or obesity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study focuses on drug interactions, not on treating obesity or related conditions.
