About this study

Researchers are testing if semaglutide, a medication, can reduce opioid use in adults receiving treatment for opioid use disorder. The trial will compare semaglutide to a placebo (a needle prick with no drug) over 686 days to see if semaglutide helps people refrain from using illicit and nonprescribed opioids.

Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
