About this trial
The study will evaluate how well AZD6234 works and how safe it is in adults with excess weight or obesity. Efficacy of AZD6234 will be compared to placebo in percent body weight change from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percent change in body weight from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in percent body weight change
Secondary outcomes
Percent change in body weight from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in percent body weight change in the T2DM and non-T2DM sub-populations separately
Absolute change in weight (kg) from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies on the absolute change in weight in the full population and in the T2DM and non-T2DM sub-populations separately
Achievement of at least 5% body weight loss from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in body weight loss of at least 5% in the full population and in the T2DM and non T2DM sub-populations separately
Achievement of at least 10% body weight loss from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in body weight loss of at least 10% in the full population and in the T2DM and non T2DM sub-populations separately
