The goal of this study is to measure the effects of using Tradipitant to treat nausea and vomiting induced by GLP-1R agonist use in adults with class I or class II obesity, or adults who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition. The study is placebo-controlled with two treatment arms.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

This study also gives Semaglutide. No intervention listed here names it: that was found by reading the record.
Proportion of participants with at least 1 vomiting episode per week in the tradipitant group compared to the placebo group as measured by a daily symptom diary.
A questionnaire called the Nausea Vomiting Daily Diary (NV-DD) will be completed once a day, which will be used to collect data for this endpoint. The NV-DD asks participants to record their vomiting frequency in a 24-hour period.
Time frame: 1 week
Proportion of participants with worst nausea severity score ≥ 3 and at least one vomiting episode over 1 week.
Nausea and vomiting symptoms will be assessed using the NV-DD. The NV-DD asks participants to rate their nausea symptoms on a Likert scale from 0-5 (0=none, 5= very severe) as well as their vomiting frequency in a 24-hour period.
Time frame: 1 week
To evaluate the effect of tradipitant relative to placebo on the worst of 7 daily nausea severity scores over 1 week.
Nausea symptoms will be assessed using the NV-DD. The NV-DD asks participants to rate their nausea symptoms on a Likert scale from 0-5 (0=none, 5= very severe).
