This study is recruiting individuals between the ages of 18 and 80 who have been on a stable dose of either Wegovy or Zepbound for at least 3 months, who’ve had some success with weight loss, and who might be interested in participating in a trial for an oral, daily GLP-1 pill.
Participants must:
Be on one of the following injectable GLP-1s, with a stable dose for the last 90 days
Wegovy 1.7mg or 2.4mg
Zepbound 10mg, 12.5mg or 15mg
Be taking the “name brand” version of the GLP-1 (i.e., not a compounded version)
Not have had a surgical treatment for obesity (except for liposuction or a “tummy tuck”)
Not have had cancer within the past 5 years (except for skin cancer or prostate cancer)
Not have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus
Not have been diagnosed with heart failure
Other eligibility criteria apply
Qualified participants in the study will be randomly assigned (like by the flip of a coin) to either stay on their current injectable or begin taking the study medication (daily pills, instead of their injectable), for a total of 3 months. The study lasts approximately 4 ½ months, including the Screening Visit, a 4-week Lead-In Period, and a 3-month Treatment Period. The study requires a total of 12 visits to TopLine, and involves blood draws, ECGs, physical exams, measurement of vital signs and waist circumference, and other non-invasive assessments.

A $52 gas and travel stipend at each visit
