Weight-loss maintenance with ALV-100 after prior weight loss
Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multi-Center, Dose-Ranging, Phase 2 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of ALV-100 Versus Placebo for Maintenance of Weight Loss in Patients Previously Treated With Incretin-Based Therapies
Run by Alveus Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT07837973 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether ALV-100 helps adults who already lost weight with incretin therapies keep the weight off, compared with placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with BMI ≥23 kg/m2 who previously achieved ≥10% weight loss on stable incretin-based therapy for at least 3 months and can maintain their current diet and activity.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants not maintaining initial weight loss on incretin therapy or not meeting the BMI or time-on-therapy criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of ALV-100 for maintaining weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity who previously reduced their weight by at least 10% while on incretin-based therapy. Eligible participants are 18 to 75 years old, have BMI ≥23 kg/m2, and have been on a stable dose of incretin therapy for at least 3 months with continued weight stability. Participants will be assigned to receive ALV-100 or placebo and monitored for weight maintenance, safety, and tolerability while maintaining their usual diet and activity. Primary outcomes focus on weight maintenance and adverse events; secondary outcomes may include metabolic measures and quality of life. The trial is sponsored by Alveus Therapeutics, with sites in Alabama and Arizona.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ALV-100 could help people keep weight off after initial weight loss and improve related health factors.
How similar studies have gone: Prior approaches using targeted therapies for weight maintenance have shown potential, but results vary and this program explores a specific agent, ALV-100.
