Medication after weight-loss surgery for severe obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a medication called mazdutide, which is given after sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) to help with further weight loss and improve health. The medication is taken as a supplement to the surgery and may help you lose more weight than surgery alone.

This trial tests whether adding a GLP-1 medication (a type of diabetes and weight-loss drug) after weight-loss surgery helps patients with obesity and related health conditions like diabetes. Researchers want to see if combining surgery with this medicine works better than surgery alone.
This trial tests whether combining lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) with a medication called mazdutide can help adults with obesity lose weight and keep it off. Mazdutide is an injectable medication that may help reduce appetite and support weight management over 2 years.
This trial tests a procedure to help people who have regained weight after a sleeve gastrectomy. It uses a special technique to treat the stomach lining and may help you lose weight again.
This study tests whether adding a medication (naltrexone/bupropion) to sleeve gastrectomy surgery can improve weight loss. It may be a good fit if you are eligible for a first-time sleeve gastrectomy and meet certain health criteria.
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.
