OverweightPhase 1NCT07868354
A Research Study Investigating How Adults With Overweight or Obesity, With or Without Type 2 Diabetes, Tolerate Switching to a New Treatment (Zenagamtide) From Their Current Tirzepatide Medication
A Phase 1 study testing Tirzepatide and Zenagamtide in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 2 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out which zenagamtide dose can be switched to, from maintenance dose of tirzepatide in people with overweight or obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). All participants will get tirzepatide and zenagamtide. Read more about this study

- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Male or female (sex assigned at birth, inclusive of all gender identities).
- Age 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Considered eligible based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TirzepatideDrug
Tirzeptide will be administered subcutaneously using pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.
ZenagamtideDrug
Zenagamtide will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide and Zenagamtide | Experimental | Participants will receive one of the different dose levels of tirzepatide administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Tirzepatide and Zenagamtide in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Novo Nordisk ((+1) 866-867-7178, clinicaltrials@novonordisk.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) (time frame: From first administration of zenagamtide day 1 to day 57). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2026.
