About this trial
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, dose-escalation Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MWN117 injection in healthy and obese Chinese participants.
The study consists of two parts. Part A includes two dose cohorts enrolling healthy participants, and Part B includes four dose cohorts enrolling obese participants. A total of 48 participants will be enrolled. Within each dose cohort, participants will be randomly assigned to receive a single subcutaneous injection of MWN117 or matching placebo.
The primary endpoint is safety, assessed by adverse events and related examinations. Secondary endpoints include plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and urine PK parameters.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 18 to 55 years (inclusive) at the time of informed consent signing; male or female.
Body mass index (BMI): Part A, healthy participants, 20.0-27.9 kg/m² (inclusive); Part B, obese participants, 28.0-35.0 kg/m² (inclusive), with body weight > 60 kg for males and > 50 kg for females.
Stable weight for 3 months prior to screening (self-reported weight change ≤ 5%), with no major changes in diet or physical activity, and the ability to maintain a stable lifestyle during the study.
Participants and their sexual partners must have no plans for pregnancy or sperm/oocyte donation from the time of ICF signing until at least 12 months post-dose; participants must use effective non-pharmacological contraception during this period. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening.
Disqualifiers
Use of GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide) within 3 months prior to screening.
Use of medications significantly affecting body weight within 3 months prior to screening, including but not limited to: orlistat, lorcaserin, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, weight-affecting herbal products, or meal replacements; cumulative or continuous use of systemic steroids ≥ 14 days (IV/oral), tricyclic antidepressants, psychiatric medications, or sedatives (e.g., imipramine, amitriptyline, mirtazapine, paroxetine, phenelzine, chlorpromazine, thioridazine, clozapine, olanzapine, valproic acid, lithium).
Endocrine disorders that may significantly affect body weight (e.g., Cushing's syndrome, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism), or drug-induced, monogenic, or genetic obesity syndromes.
History of surgery or device treatment for overweight or obesity.
