Trial results

Semaglutide for Post-Smoking Cessation Weight Management

NCT06173778 on ClinicalTrials.gov · last registry update 2026-02-11

Recruiting now, toward 197 participants. Its estimated completion date, 1 July 2026, has passed with no update to the record. Primary outcome, as filed: Change in Body Weight Percent. A lapsed estimate is not a result and not a failure — sponsors are slow to refile — but ClinicalTrials.gov marks it nowhere on the record, so it is noted here. semaglutide is already approved in the US for obesity, so this is asking a further question rather than establishing the drug works at all.
