Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with type 2 diabetes who have had stable diabetes treatment for ≥90 days, a BMI ≥27 kg/m2, and stable body weight for the prior 90 days, who are not using GLP-1/GIP agents, amylin analogs, or insulin and who have no recent major cardiovascular events, are the ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People with type 1 diabetes, recent heart attack or stroke, recent use of excluded antihyperglycemic drugs (GLP-1/GIP agents, amylin analogs, or insulin), or recent/planned bariatric or device-based obesity procedures are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 interventional study gives participants either eloralintide or a matching placebo and follows them for roughly 75 weeks to measure body weight change and safety outcomes. Eligible participants must have type 2 diabetes, be on a stable diabetes treatment for at least 90 days, have a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or higher, and have stable weight in the prior 90 days. People who recently used GLP-1/GIP agents, amylin analogs, or insulin, or who had recent major cardiovascular events, are excluded, as are those with recent or planned surgical/device obesity interventions. The primary focus is on body weight reduction with concurrent monitoring of diabetes control and adverse events.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, eloralintide could help people with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes achieve clinically meaningful weight loss and potentially improve blood sugar control.

How similar studies have gone: Other agents targeting incretin and related pathways (for example GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 drugs) have produced substantial weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes, but eloralintide itself is currently being tested in Phase 3 to confirm efficacy and safety.
