Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with BMI 25 to <40 kg/m2 who are taking a GLP-1R agonist and experiencing nausea or vomiting, without diabetes, other significant chronic illnesses, or contraindications to NK‑1 receptor antagonists.

Probably not a fit

Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, preexisting gastrointestinal disorders that cause symptoms, or a history of hypersensitivity to GLP-1 or NK‑1 receptor antagonists are unlikely to benefit or may be ineligible.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, two-arm trial compares oral tradipitant to placebo for treating nausea and vomiting that occur with GLP-1R agonist use. Eligible participants are adults with BMI between 25 and <40 kg/m2 who do not have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and have no other major chronic medical conditions causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Key exclusions include other disorders that explain GI symptoms, hypersensitivity to NK-1 or GLP-1 receptor antagonists, and recent exposure to investigational drugs. The study is conducted at Vanda investigational sites in California and measures changes in frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting during the treatment period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, tradipitant could reduce GLP-1–related nausea and vomiting and improve tolerability and continued use of GLP-1 weight‑loss medications.

How similar studies have gone: NK‑1 receptor antagonists are well established for chemotherapy-related nausea and early-phase data and case reports suggest potential benefit for GLP-1–induced nausea, but large phase‑3 evidence is currently limited.
