Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with BMI 25-45 kg/m², HbA1c < 6.5%, stable weight in the prior 3 months, and no diabetes.
✕Probably not a fit
People with diabetes, certain pancreatic or GI conditions, or recent significant weight changes may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 1 trial compares eloralintide to placebo over about 35 weeks in adults with overweight or obesity. Participants will have several visits totaling 7 days of on-site assessment, with measurements focused on insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and changes in body weight. The study excludes individuals with diabetes and certain GI or pancreatic conditions to reduce risk. Lead sponsor is Eli Lilly, with sites in Neuss, Germany and Mölndal, Sweden.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could see improvements in insulin sensitivity and metabolic health as well as weight change.
How similar studies have gone: Earlier studies of similar agents have shown promise in metabolic endpoints, but this specific approach is early-phase and its outcome is not yet established.
