- NCT05509257RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Naltrexone and brain scans for teens with eating disorders
This early study tests whether naltrexone (a prescription medicine) changes brain activity measured by MRI in teens and young adults with binge eating and/or purging. It may help researchers understand how the brain works in these eating disorders and whether this treatment could be helpful.

Test effects of gut hormones in bulimia
This trial studies how growth-related and gut hormones affect ghrelin, a hunger-related hormone, in people with bulimia. It may help researchers understand the body changes behind bulimia and how hormones and appetite signals work.
