Inclusion criteria

  • Stable body weight, with less than 5 kilograms (kg) (11 pounds) of weight change in the past 3 months.
  • No significant changes in diet or eating habits in the past 3 months.
  • Generally healthy. People with certain well-controlled medical conditions, such as sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or underactive thyroid, may qualify if their treatment has been stable for at least 3 months and is approved by the study doctor.
  • Willing to follow the study's requirements, if applicable, during the study and for the study-defined period after the last dose of study drug.
  • Able and willing to provide before participating in study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of diabetes or current diabetes, except diabetes during pregnancy, or blood sugar levels that meet the study's definition of diabetes.
  • Certain hormonal conditions that can cause weight gain, such as Cushing's syndrome.
  • History of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or certain abnormal pancreatic blood test results.
  • History of cancer within the past 5 years, except certain early-stage cancers or nonmelanoma skin cancers.
  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).
  • Uncontrolled thyroid disease or certain abnormal thyroid blood test results.
  • Significant stomach or intestinal conditions, including delayed stomach emptying, ulcers, or inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of certain digestive system surgeries.
  • Weight-loss surgery within the past 6 months.
  • Significant heart disease, abnormal heart rhythms, or blood pressure or heart rate outside the study's allowed limits.
  • Significant kidney or liver problems, or certain abnormal kidney or liver blood test results.

  • History of certain serious or unstable mental health conditions, self-injury within the past 5 years, or any previous suicide attempt.
  • History of ischemic optic neuropathy, a condition involving damage to the optic nerve caused by reduced blood flow.
  • Allergy or intolerance to maridebart cafraglutide (AMG 133), similar medications, or their ingredients.
  • Use of certain medications, including weight-loss or diabetes medications that act on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), within the restricted time periods before the study.
  • Use of certain herbal products, vitamins, or supplements within 30 days before enrollment, unless approved by the study doctor.
  • Recent participation in another drug study or previous participation in a study of maridebart cafraglutide.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse, recent illegal drug use, or positive alcohol or drug screening results not explained by permitted prescription medications.
  • Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to breastfeed during the study or within the study-defined period after the last dose of study drug.
  • Recent blood, plasma, or donation within the study's restricted time periods.
  • Recent strenuous exercise or unwillingness to follow study restrictions on physical activity, alcohol, recreational drugs, diet, or other activities.
  • Difficulty providing blood samples because of poor vein access.
  • Any other medical condition, abnormal test result, or circumstance that the study doctor believes could make participation unsafe or interfere with study procedures.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

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.

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.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

References and documents

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request.

Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan, Informed consent form, Clinical study report

Time frame: Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

Access criteria: Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.
