Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This 3-part study will explore the safety and tolerability of GLWL-01 in overweight/obese healthy participants after single doses (in Part A), and in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus after multiple doses during a 28-day period (Parts B and C).
