Weight loss & metabolic

GLP-1 and dual-agonist chemistry. By a wide margin the best-evidenced group here — it holds most of the approved products on the site and the largest trial populations, and it is the only category where the main question is which compound rather than whether any of them have been studied.

Reading on these compounds

Categories are editorial groupings by mechanism — they are not medical classifications, and membership is not a claim that a compound does what the group name suggests. Study counts include only trials whose registered intervention names the compound. Collected 2026-08-02 from ClinicalTrials.gov and Drugs@FDA. How this is put together.
