How GLP-1 weight loss medicines affect stomach emptying
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a newly started GLP-1 medicine (commonly used for weight loss or diabetes) changes the amount of food left in your stomach and how fast it empties. The goal is to understand these effects better, which may help improve safety and dosing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be starting a new GLP-1 medicine, prescribed by an endocrinologist or obesity specialist.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have any known stomach or bowel diseases, previous stomach surgery, or abnormalities.
- You must not be taking insulin or sulfonylurea medicines (which raise the risk of low blood sugar).

This study uses an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called metoclopramide before surgery can help your stomach empty faster in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications. This may reduce the risk of food or liquid staying in your stomach during surgery, which can be dangerous.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at how full your stomach is after taking GLP-1 medications for diabetes or weight loss. It will help doctors understand if current fasting guidelines are safe before surgery or a colonoscopy.
This study looks at how GLP-1 medications affect the time it takes for your stomach to empty before anesthesia. It may help doctors decide if you need to take special precautions before your surgery.
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
