A Phase 1/2 interventional study of WVE-007 in Overweight and Obesity, sponsored by Wave Life Sciences USA, Inc.. Recruiting at 7 sites in 4 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-26.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ascending doses of WVE-007 when administered subcutaneously (SC) . Part A is a single ascending dose study in adults living with overweight and obesity. The Part B of the study is a repeat dose administration in adult with obesity, with or without Type 2 Diabetes (T2D and non-T2D, respectively). In addition, Part B includes two dose groups that will receive WVE-007 and tirzepatide in adults living with obesity and T2D.
11,522 studies on the registry are indexed under Obesity; 2,033 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 400 is above the median of 67 across 9,006 interventional studies indexed under Obesity.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
