About this trial
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, Phase 2a study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KDS2010 in overweight or obese patients. Based on preliminary efficacy observed in the Phase 1 study, this clinical trial is being conducted in Korea.
After a minimum 2-week run-in period, subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized to the treatment group or placebo group at a 2:1 ratio in each stage.
Subjects will receive the investigational product for 12 weeks following randomization. The study will be conducted in three stages.
Approximately 75 subjects will be enrolled, with 6 subjects in the KDS2010 120 mg group and 3 subjects in the placebo group in Stage 1, 22 subjects in the KDS2010 180 mg group and 11 subjects in the placebo group in Stage 2, and 22 subjects in the KDS2010 240 mg group and 11 subjects in the placebo group in Stage 3.
The primary objectives are to assess the efficacy and safety of KDS2010 in overweight or obese patients. Exploratory objectives include evaluating the proportion of subjects achieving a weight reduction of more than 25% from baseline at Week 12 and assessing changes in MAO-B specific activity and adiponectin levels.
Based on nonclinical and Phase 1 clinical data, KDS2010 will be administered orally once daily at doses of 120 mg, 180 mg, and 240 mg throughout the study.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage Change in Body Weight from Baseline
The percentage change in body weight from baseline to Week 12 after administration of the investigational product (KDS2010).
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of Subjects with ≥5%, ≥10%, ≥15%, and ≥20% weight loss from baseline (%)
Proportion (%) of subjects with ≥5%, ≥10%, ≥15%, and ≥20% weight loss at week 12 after IP administration compared to baseline
Change from baseline in Waist Circumference
Waist circumference will be measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using a tape measure while the participant stands with feet approximately 25-30 cm apart, distributes body weight evenly, and exhales comfortably. Changes will be assessed up to Week 12.
Change from baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI)
Change from baseline to Week 12 in BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
Change from baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure
Change from baseline in systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured in mmHg.
Other outcomes
Number of subjects with treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs)
AEs will be coded using MedDRA and assessed for severity and causality using CTCAE v5.0. The number of subjects affected and the incidence rates will be presented for each treatment group.
Change from baseline in laboratory test results
Laboratory parameters including routine hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, lipid, coagulation, hormone will be measured. Change from baseline will be analyzed.
Change from baseline in pulse rate
Pulse rate will be measured in beats per minute.
Change from baseline in body temperature
Body temperature will be measured using a standard thermometer.
