About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Microdosed GLP-1 in Improving Health, Quality of Life, and Longevity Measures: For Use in Healthy Individuals Ages 18-65 Who Seek to Improve Their Health and Longevity Through Low-dose (Microdosed) GLP1 Receptor Agonists
The goal of this clinical study has two objectives. The Primary Objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of microdosed GLP-1 receptor agonists in improving measures of health, quality of life, and longevity. The Secondary Objective: To assess the impact of these therapies on weight management practices and metabolic health.
Read the detailed description
Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: 1) control, 2) microdosed sublingual semaglutide, 3) microdosed subcutaneous semaglutide. At baseline and every 4 weeks thereafter, participants will be asked to complete surveys on health, wellness, mood, demographic information, and similar. Additionally, at baseline and every 12 weeks thereafter, they will be requested to complete evaluative blood work to measure CBC, CMP, and standard health biomarker panels (e.g., cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, sodium, potassium). From baseline throughout the duration of the study, participants will be given the option to share data from wearable activity and health trackers with the research team for greater accuracy in evaluating measures of activity, sleep, heart rate, and similar.

PlaceboDrug
Sublingual Placebo (weekly) for up to 6 months
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Oral Placebo | Placebo comparator | Placebo administered in PCCA sub-magna compounding base only. Receives: Drug: Placebo |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in self-reported pain levels in participants microdosing GLP1s
Participants will complete an extensive medical questionnaire every 4 weeks over a 24-week period to monitor self-reported pain levels
Measured: 6 months
Concentration of complete blood cells, as a measure of immunological health, in participants microdosing GLP1s
CBC panel will be analyzed every 12 weeks over a 24-week period, reported in thousands of cells per microliter with the change from baseline reported as percent deviation and compared to normalized range of healthy individuals
Measured: 6 months
Concentration of basic metabolites (cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, sodium, potassium), as a measure of immunological health, in participants microdosing GLP1s
BMP panel will be analyzed every 12 weeks over a 24-week period, reported in mg/dL with the change from baseline reported as percent deviation and compared to a normalized range of healthy individuals
Measured: 6 months
Change in mood in participants microdosing GLP1s
Mood will be assessed every 4 weeks over a 24-week period using the SF-36 standardized questionnaire with deviation reported as percent change from baseline
Measured: 6 months
Change in heart rate variability in participants microdosing GLP1s
Participants will wear health devices with data monitored every 4 weeks over a 24-week period to observe change in heart rate variability, being defined as the variability of a participant's resting heart rate. Variability will be measured as an average deviation from baseline heart rate at each timepoint and reported as percent difference.
Measured: 6 months

Wearable health device data will be monitored over the 24-week period assessing REM vs non-REM sleep and reported as a ratio
Measured: 6 months

The change in frequency of physical activity, defined as a departure from baseline in time spent performing moderate to rigorous physical exercise, will be captured via wearable health device data and will be reported as percent difference from baseline in steps taken.
Measured: 6 months
Change in frequency of physical activity in participants microdosing GLP1s
The change in frequency of physical activity, defined as a departure from baseline in time spent performing moderate to rigorous physical exercise, will be captured via wearable health device data and will be reported as percent difference from baseline in calories burned.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing GLP-1 in people with Longevity and Quality of Life, run by AgelessRx at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in self-reported pain levels in participants microdosing GLP1s (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07092605, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2025.
