Brief Summary

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

The phase 1 portion of the study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TLC-6740 after single- and multiple-ascending doses in healthy subjects. The phase 1b portion of the study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of TLC-6740 in subjects with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objectives are to assess the safety, tolerability, and plasma PK of TLC-6740 in healthy subjects and subjects with obesity. The exploratory objective is to evaluate the PD of TLC-6740 in healthy subjects and subjects with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes. This study is comprised of seven parts: Part A (single-ascending dose), Part B (multiple-ascending dose), Part C (adaptive single- and/or multiple-ascending dose), Part D (relative bioavailability of a tablet formulation of TLC-6740), Part E (drug-drug interaction study to determine the effect of TLC-6740 on drug metabolizing enzymes), Part F (multiple dose of TLC-6740 in subjects with obesity with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus), and Part G (multiple dose of TLC-6740 in subjects with obesity receiving tirzepatide). Up to 48, 50, 100, 8, and 28 healthy subjects will be recruited in Parts A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. Up to 180 and 150 obese subjects will be recruited in Parts F and G, respectively. The effect of food on TLC-6740 PK will also be evaluated in this study.

* ALT/AST/ALP ≤ 1 x ULN (Parts A-E); ALT/AST \< 3 x ULN, ALP \< 1.5 x ULN (Parts F, G)
* Screening laboratory evaluations (hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis) must fall within the normal range of the local laboratory's reference ranges unless the results have been determined by the investigator to have no clinical significance (Parts A-E)
* Subject must have either a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or one with abnormalities that are considered clinically insignificant by the investigator
* Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and clinic admission
