Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Obesity, a narrower term within Overweight.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • 1. Male or female subjects aged≥18years and≤75 years at the time of signing the ICF.
  • 2.At screening and prior to randomization, must meet one of the following criteria:

    1. BMI≥28kg/m²regardless of comorbidities;
    2. BM≤24 kg/m² and\<28 kg/m², with at least one of the following comorbidities: prediabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome due to overweight, or weight-bearing joint pain.
  • 3.Weight change due to diet and exercise alone within 3 months prior to screening and randomization did not exceed 5%.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1.Previously diagnosed obesity caused by monogenic mutations, other diseases, or medications.
  • 2.Previous diagnosis of diabetes; or ≥ 6.5% or fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L at screening.
  • 3.Used of medicines or treatments that affect weight within 3 months prior to screening.
  • 4.History of acute or chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic injury.
  • 5.History of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or type 2 multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN2) in personal or family history.
  • 6.History of depression/anxiety disorder, or prior diagnosis of moderate-to-severe anxiety/depressive state, or history of severe psychiatric disorders;
  • 7. PHQ-9 scale score is ≥ 15 at screening;
  • 8. Screening C-SSRS questionnaire suicide ideation response of "Category 4 or 5," or any "yes" response to suicidal behavior questions.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

BMI (body mass index)

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.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2027, 16 months after the start.

Of 199 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 27. This study's planned 16 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 262 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 34.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
