Disease

Names and IDs as Open Targets gives them. Its IDs in MeSH, Orphanet, the Disease Ontology and the NCI Thesaurus are those Open Targets states for it.

Name: body weight; Open Targets
Open Targets ID: EFO_0004338; Open Targets
Other names: weight; Open Targets
MeSH: D001835; MeSH
NCI Thesaurus: C81328; NCI Thesaurus
Highest stage of its drugs: Phase 3, for 1 of its 3 drugs, from ClinicalTrials.gov; Open Targets

Drugs3

The drugs Open Targets' clinical reports study for the disease, the highest stage first, then the most trial reports. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.

Targets2

The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the disease's drugs, through Open Targets, the most drugs first. A mechanism record says what a drug acts on, not that the target causes the disease.

Trials3

Trials an Open Targets clinical report links to the disease, posted results first, then the largest. A trial is shown when the release's checks confirm its link to the disease and Drugs and targets shows its link to one of the disease's drugs.

NCT03115424	Effect of GLP-1 Receptor Agonism After Sleeve Gastrectomy	Phase 3	46	2024-09-27	Obesity	LIRAGLUTIDE	Its record names the disease	ClinicalTrials.gov
NCT07055607	A Two-year Prospective, Observational Study of Wegovy in Real-world Clinical Practice		1,250		Obesity	SEMAGLUTIDE	Its record names the disease	ClinicalTrials.gov
NCT01616732	Testosterone and Weight Loss	Phase 2	100		Obesity in Men	TESTOSTERONE UNDECANOATE	Its record names the disease	ClinicalTrials.gov

Comparisons in its trials0

Comparisons Trial comparisons calculated in the trials shown here, most participants first. A comparison in one of these trials does not always compare a treatment for the disease, so read the two groups.

Papers from its trials2

The papers the trials shown here list on ClinicalTrials.gov as their results (RESULT) or as drawn from them (DERIVED), results first, newest first.
