How meal timing and water amount affect how Zenagamtide is absorbed

Official title: Investigating the Effect of Post-dose Meal Timings and Water Volume at Dosing on the Pharmacokinetic Properties of Oral Zenagamtide in Participants With Overweight or Obesity

Run by Novo Nordisk A/S · NCT07815067 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether taking Zenagamtide with different meals and water amounts changes how the medicine enters the bloodstream in adults who are overweight or have obesity.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with overweight or obesity who are eligible based on medical history, exams, vitals, ECG, and labs during screening.

Probably not a fit

Participants with significant GI disorders, special restrictive diets, or HbA1c ≥ 6.5% at screening may not experience a benefit and may be excluded.

What this trial studies

This phase 1 interventional study will compare the pharmacokinetics of Zenagamtide when administered as tablets or injections under varying meal and water conditions in adults with overweight or obesity. All participants receive Zenagamtide, and absorption will be measured through blood samples to see how timing with meals and water volume influence exposure. The trial will screen participants for safety and baseline health, then administer the intervention with careful monitoring. The goal is to identify dosing conditions that optimize absorption while ensuring safety. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk A/S and conducted at Charité in Berlin, Germany.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help tailor Zenagamtide dosing to improve how well the medicine works in people with overweight or obesity.

How similar studies have gone: Previous pharmacokinetic studies have explored absorption differences with meals, but this specific meal-water dosing variation with Zenagamtide is novel.
