Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study is to compare dose levels of petrelintide versus placebo with regards to effect on body weight, safety, and tolerability.

Detailed Description

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

Obesity is a chronic disease with a rapidly increasing prevalence associated with significant comorbidities. Petrelintide is a long-acting amylin analog in development for weight management.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multinational, multicenter, dose-finding, Phase 2 clinical trial. The trial will compare 5 doses of once-weekly (OW) subcutaneously administered petrelintide with placebo.

This study consists of 3 periods:

1. A screening period of 2-3 weeks
2. A treatment period of 42 weeks
3. A safety follow-up period of 9 weeks.
