Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with BMI 27.0–45.0 kg/m² who are otherwise healthy and have stable weight; no diabetes or recent major psychiatric illness.

Probably not a fit

Participants with diabetes, significant psychiatric history, or recent GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist use may not benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human study looks at the effect of Eloralintide on gastric emptying in adults with BMI 27.0–45.0 kg/m² who are otherwise healthy. The trial lasts about 21 weeks and includes 2 overnight stays in a clinical unit plus 13 additional visits, comparing Eloralintide to placebo and acetaminophen as a marker. Participants will receive the intervention under controlled conditions to measure gastric emptying and tolerability. The study excludes individuals with diabetes, recent major psychiatric disorders, or prior GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist exposure.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If Eloralintide slows gastric emptying as hoped, it could inform dosing strategies for obesity treatments.

How similar studies have gone: Earlier studies in similar agents have shown effects on gastric physiology, but this specific approach in overweight/obese adults is emerging.
