The wire
- 01The OFF-RAMP pilot (NCT07832084), a phase 4 trial sponsored by Jing Luo, will randomize 60 adults to three weight-maintenance strategies starting November 1, 2026.
- 02Clinicians fielding patient questions about stopping GLP-1s have little randomized evidence on tapering or switching; this trial is designed to test feasibility first.
- 03It is a pilot sized for acceptability and recruitment feasibility, not efficacy, and results depend on a larger follow-up study.
