Brief Summary

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

This study is designed to test how well once-weekly MET097 (an ultra-long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist) works to treat adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to placebo. MET097 or placebo will be administered to individuals via subcutaneous injection once weekly for 28 weeks. If an individual is randomly assigned to MET097 they will receive one of four different dose regimens.

Detailed Description

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

This is a 28-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of four different once-weekly MET097 dosing regimens vs. placebo for body weight loss in adults (18-75 years of age) with obesity or overweight (body mass index \[BMI\] ≥27 to ≤50 kg/m2) and T2DM . After completing 28 weeks of study treatment, all participants will be followed for approximately 11 weeks after administration of the last dose of study treatment.
