Description
Overweight and obesity are complex, long-term health conditions that occur when excess body fat builds up and begins to affect overall health. They are commonly measured using body mass index (BMI). Many people living with excess weight may also develop type 2 diabetes, a condition where the body does not use insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels.
Symptoms can include fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, low energy, and difficulty managing blood sugar. These conditions are increasingly common worldwide and can affect confidence, mobility, sleep, heart health, and overall quality of life.
Treatment for overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes often includes lifestyle changes such as improved nutrition, increased physical activity, behavioural support, and, in some cases, medication or surgery. While many people work hard to manage their health, long-term results can be challenging to maintain. Clinical research is helping to advance new treatment options, with studies aiming to improve effectiveness, safety and long-term help conditions.
This study is exploring an investigational medication for weight management for adults living with overweight or obesity, both with and without type 2 diabetes. Researchers are assessing safety, tolerability, weight reduction, and effects on metabolic health over time.
What to expect
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the investigational treatment or a placebo (an inactive substance) taken as a once-daily oral tablet.
Throughout the study you will attend regular clinic visits for health assessments, which may include physical examinations, body weight measurements and general health checks. These visits help the research team monitor your health and collect important study information.
Your safety and wellbeing will be closely monitored by our professional clinical team for the duration of the study.
