Brief Summary

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

This is a study to understand if taking VTX3232 alone or in combination with semaglutide is safe in participants diagnosed with Obesity. Approximately 160 patients will take VTX3232 Dose A, Placebo, VTX3232 Dose A in combination with semaglutide, or Placebo in combination with semaglutide.

This study consists of a 30-day Screening Period (to see if a participant qualifies for a study), a 12-week double-blind treatment period (a participant receives VTX3232 Dose A, Placebo, VTX3232 Dose A in combination with semaglutide, or Placebo in combination with semaglutide), and a 30-day Follow-Up Period. The maximum duration of treatment will be approximately 12 weeks.

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
The study will employ a double-blind design for study treatment tablets (i.e., VTX3232 or Placebo); assignment to treatment group with semaglutide injections plus study treatment tablets or to treatment group with study treatment tablets alone will not be blinded. Participants, Investigators, study center staff, persons performing the assessments, and the Sponsor are to remain blinded to the identity of the study treatment tablets from the time of randomization until the database lock for the study.

* Have any prior diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
* Current participation (or within the last 3 months) in an organized weight reduction program.
* History or presence of clinically significant gastric emptying abnormality (e.g., severe gastroparesis or gastric outlet obstruction) or chronically take drugs that directly affect GI motility, have undergone prior surgical treatment for obesity (e.g., gastric bypass \[bariatric\] surgery or restrictive bariatric surgery), or have an endoscopic and/or device-based therapy for obesity.
* Clinically relevant medical condition(s) that put the participant at risk or will make implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study difficult.
