Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of MBX 4291 in adults with obesity.

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled first-in-human study to evaluate the single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of MBX 4291 in participants with obesity, who are otherwise generally healthy. Approximately 64 patients aged 18 to 65 years old will be enrolled.
