Efficacy of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Treating Upper and Lower Extremity Lymphedema Early Phase 1 110

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07012642 is designed to study Treatment for Lymphedema. It is a Early Phase 1 interventional study that is recruiting, having started on April 9, 2025, with plans to enroll 110 participants. Led by Advanced Reconstructive Surgery Alliance, it is expected to complete by April 9, 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on June 10, 2025.
Brief Summary
Lymphedema affects millions and currently lacks effective drug treatments, relying mainly on compression therapy. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown potential in managing obesity and diabetes, which can worsen lymphedema. Although anecdotal evidence suggests benefits of GLP-1 RAs for lymphedema patients, rigorous prospective studies are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the effectiven...Show More
