About this trial

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of enicepatide, a dual glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist (RA), at multiple doses compared with placebo for weight management in participants without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to (≥)30.0 kg/m²; or

BMI ≥27.0 kg/m² and <30.0 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as prediabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, or weight-related cardiovascular disease

History of ≥1 self-reported unsuccessful diet/exercise effort to lose body weight

Ability and willingness to self-administer the study drug (or receive an injection from a trained individual if visually impaired or with physical limitations)

Disqualifiers

History of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or T2DM, or history of ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar state/coma. Prior, but not current, diagnosis of gestational diabetes is allowed if no history of diabetes is recorded since.

Self-reported change in body weight >5 kg within 3 months prior to screening

Obesity induced by other endocrinologic disorders (e.g., Cushing's syndrome) or diagnosed monogenetic or syndromic forms of obesity (e.g., melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency or Prader-Willi syndrome)

Prior or planned surgical treatment for obesity. Liposuction or abdominoplasty if performed more than 1 year prior to screening is allowed.
