This Phase 2 study tests how semaglutide (a diabetes medication also used for weight) affects fatty liver and the liver’s response to sugar. It may help people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease understand whether the drug improves liver fat and related changes.
This study tests if an oral semaglutide pill can reduce liver fat and improve body composition in people who have had a liver transplant and have diabetes. It may help manage weight and blood sugar after transplant.
This trial tests whether the medication semaglutide (often used for diabetes) can prevent the development of new diabetes after a kidney transplant. If you are in the early weeks after a transplant and have risk factors for diabetes, this study might help reduce your chances of developing diabetes later.
This study tests whether an oral medication called semaglutide can help people with type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and kidney problems. It aims to see if it can improve kidney function and liver health.
This trial tests semaglutide, a medicine that helps lower blood sugar, in people who develop high blood sugar shortly after a kidney transplant. It may help control blood sugar without harming the transplanted kidney, while also checking safety in this specific group.
This study tests whether taking semaglutide (a once-weekly injection that helps control appetite and blood sugar) before and after a second weight-loss surgery can help people who regained weight after an initial sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to see if the medicine improves weight-loss outcomes compared to surgery alone.
