Brief Summary

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

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, escalating single-dose and multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of HEC88473 injection in healthy subjects, obese subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Detailed Description

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

This study is divided into two parts, Part A is an escalating single-dose study in healthy subjects and obese subjects, and Part B is an escalating multiple-dose study in subjects with T2DM.
