New obesity drug aims to help keep weight off after switching from popular injections
NCT ID NCT07575399
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether switching from common GLP-1 weight-loss drugs to a new medication called maridebart cafraglutide can help adults with obesity or overweight maintain their weight loss. About 300 participants who have already lost at least 10% of their body weight on a GLP-1 drug will receive injections of the new drug. The main goal is to see how body weight changes over 68 weeks.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new option for people with obesity to maintain weight loss after switching from common GLP-1 medications.
