Gastric emptying in healthy people and GLP-1 drug users
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how fast the stomach empties in healthy volunteers and people taking semaglutide (a GLP-1 agonist drug for diabetes or weight loss). It may help understand how this drug affects digestion.

This study is for people who have lost weight using semaglutide or tirzepatide and are stopping that medication. It tests a stomach procedure (called mucosal ablation) to see if it can help you keep the weight off after stopping the drug.
This early-stage study looks at how genetic factors may change how people respond to a GLP-1 medicine (semaglutide). The goal is to learn who may benefit most and why, so future treatments can be better matched.
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 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 uses ultrasound to see how quickly your stomach empties after a meal. It aims to learn more about normal stomach function in healthy adults.
This trial looks at how starting a GLP-1 medicine affects the amount of food left in your stomach and how quickly your stomach empties. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work and how to use them safely.
