NCT ID NCT07720271
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing whether an experimental once-daily oral drug called zenagamtide can safely help people with excess body weight lose weight. Around 950 adults aged 18 and older with overweight or obesity will be randomly assigned to receive either zenagamtide or a placebo tablet each day. The main question is how much body weight changes over the study period, with secondary measures including waist circumference and blood pressure.
