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.Chinese adult participants aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive) with obesity, both male and female; 2.Obese individuals: ≥ 30.0 kg/m², or BMI ≥ 27.0 kg/m² with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as prediabetes, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, metabolic abnormalities, etc.); 3.Prior to screening, participants must have maintained weight control through diet and exercise alone for at least 12 weeks, with a reported weight change of less than 5.0%, and must be able to continue their existing diet and exercise regimen for weight management throughout the trial period; 4.MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan) has no (e.g., use of pacemakers and metal implants, or claustrophobia that hinders completion of the MRI examination); 5.Fully understand the purpose, nature, methods, and potential adverse reactions of the trial, be capable of completing the trial in accordance with the protocol requirements, voluntarily serve as a study participant, and sign the form; 6.Individuals who, from the time of signing the informed consent form until one month after the conclusion of the study, have no plans for pregnancy, voluntarily adopt effective measures to prevent pregnancy or impregnation of their partner, and have no plans to donate sperm or eggs; Note: The percentage change in body weight is calculated as follows: (Body weight 12 weeks prior to screening - Body weight at screening) / Body weight 12 weeks prior to screening × 100%.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1.Subjects with uncontrolled hypertension at screening (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg at screening) or those with untreated blood pressure meeting the above criteria; 2.During screening, there was thyroid dysfunction that could not be controlled with a stable medication dose, or thyroid function test results showed abnormalities requiring the initiation of treatment; 3.During screening, abdominal ultrasound indicates the presence of gallstones or polyps, or there are clinical symptoms of gallbladder disease at the time of screening; 4.During screening, severe chronic complications of diabetes requiring acute treatment are identified, such as diabetic nephropathy, proliferative retinopathy, or non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy; peripheral vascular disease leading to amputation, chronic foot ulcers, or intermittent claudication; and painful diabetic neuropathy; 5.It is known that the individual has an allergic constitution (allergic to three or more foods or medications), is allergic to GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs, or suffers from severe allergic diseases (asthma, urticaria, eczema, dermatitis, etc.) during screening; 6.Individuals with a history of severe diseases affecting the nervous, respiratory, immune, hepatic, renal, or other organ systems are deemed unsuitable for participation in the trial based on investigator assessment; 7.Individuals with severe mental illness or language barriers who are unwilling or unable to fully understand and cooperate during screening; 8.Individuals who tested positive for drugs in urine screening or alcohol in breath testing at baseline; 9.History of substance abuse; 10.Select individuals who have participated in any clinical study within the past three months and received intervention with an drug or medical device; 11.Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding; Note:The researchers believe that the subject has any other factors that would make participation in this trial inappropriate.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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.

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.

Clinically significant

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.

Investigational drug or device

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.

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

Ran from Apr 2024 to primary completion in Apr 2025, 12 months.

Of 131 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 57. This study's 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 307 studies reached it within 16 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 35.

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 Sep 23, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
