Maridebart cafraglutide in people who switched from weekly GLP-1 receptor agonists
Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Maridebart Cafraglutide After Switching From Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Participants Living With Overweight or Obesity
Run by Amgen · NCT07908316 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests how much maridebart cafraglutide appears in the blood after people with overweight or obesity switch from weekly GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–70 with BMI ≥25 (≥23 for Asian participants) who have been on a stable weekly GLP-1RA and meet health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with diabetes, recent obesity surgery, certain GI conditions, or uncontrolled thyroid or pancreatitis may not benefit from this drug.

What this trial studies
This phase 1 trial examines the pharmacokinetics of maridebart cafraglutide in adults with overweight or obesity who transition from a weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist. Participants will switch to maridebart cafraglutide and undergo PK sampling to understand drug exposure. The study includes a 4-week run-in period with stable GLP-1RA treatment and requires specific BMI criteria and health status before enrollment. Primary outcomes focus on how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated. Safety and tolerability will be monitored during the intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could have a treatment option with predictable drug exposure after switching from another GLP-1RA.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies with similar GLP-1RA–related switches have informed PK profiles, suggesting the approach is feasible but this exact drug/formulation is exploratory.
