Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults without type 2 diabetes who have BMI ≥30 kg/m2 (or ≥27 kg/m2 with a weight-related condition), stable weight for 90 days, and a history of unsuccessful dietary attempts are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, recent heart attack/stroke/coronary events, or recent bariatric or device-based obesity procedures are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 interventional trial randomizes adults with obesity or overweight to receive eloralintide or placebo and follows them through a main phase of about 75 weeks, with an optional 2-year extension for participants with prediabetes. Eligible participants must have a BMI of at least 30 kg/m2 or at least 27 kg/m2 with a weight-related condition, be free of type 1 or type 2 diabetes, have stable weight for 90 days, and a history of unsuccessful dietary attempts. Key exclusions include prior or planned bariatric surgery or recent device-based obesity therapy, and recent major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke. Study outcomes will compare weight change and safety events between the eloralintide and placebo groups.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If effective, eloralintide could help people with obesity or overweight achieve clinically meaningful weight loss and improve related health measures like blood pressure and cholesterol.

How similar studies have gone: Other approved weight-loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists, have shown substantial weight loss in similar populations, but eloralintide is a newer agent whose Phase 3 results are still being established.
