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 →

Study summary

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, dose-escalation phase I clinical trial aiming to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of MWN105 injection in Chinese non-diabetic overweight or obese participants.

The study plans to enroll 36 male and female participants. Three dose groups were preset, with 12 participants in each. They were randomly assigned to receive MWN105 injection or placebo at a ratio of 5:1 and were administered the treatment in a titration manner, once a week, with a dose increase every two weeks until reaching the target dose. The administration lasted for 8 weeks.

The study consists of a 2-week screening period, an 8-week administration/observation period, and a 4-week follow-up period, totaling 14 weeks. The primary endpoint is the incidence of adverse events. Secondary endpoints include pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity.

  2. Obese individuals: ≥ 28.0 kg/m²; overweight individuals: 24.0 kg/m² ≤ BMI \< 28.0 kg/m², with or without the following: i. Complications including prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance), hypertension, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or dyslipidemia; ii. Weight-bearing joint pain; iii. Breathing difficulties caused by obesity or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
  3. Female participants must have no plans for pregnancy or egg donation from 14 days before the first administration until 4 months after the last administration, and must voluntarily use effective . Male participants must have no plans for sperm donation from the first administration until 4 months after the last administration and must voluntarily use effective contraception to prevent partner pregnancy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  2. Individuals with a history or evidence of any of the following:

    • Secondary or drug-induced obesity.

    • Use of over-the-counter drugs, health supplements, herbal preparations, or meal replacement products for weight control, appetite reduction, or as an alternative to diet within 12 weeks prior to screening, if used for a long-term period (continuous for ≥4 weeks or cumulative for ≥6 weeks).
    • Use of acupuncture, physical therapy, or other non-drug treatments for weight loss within 12 weeks prior to screening.
    • Regular use of drugs for gastrointestinal motility or drugs for irritable bowel syndrome, or use of any dosage of laxatives, within 4 weeks prior to screening.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
