Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Has undergone or plans to undergo during the study period surgical or device-based obesity treatment (exceptions: acupuncture, liposuction, or abdominal fat removal performed \>1 year prior to screening; prior device-based obesity treatment is acceptable if the device was removed \>1 year before screening).
  • Clinically significant gastric emptying disorders at screening (e.g., gastroparesis or gastric outlet obstruction); or long-term use (≥4 consecutive weeks) of medications affecting gastrointestinal motility within 6 months prior to screening.
  • History of acute or chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic injury prior to screening.
  • Inadequately controlled blood pressure at screening or randomization: systolic BP ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg (concurrent antihypertensive therapy is permitted).
  • History within 6 months prior to screening of: decompensated heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV), unstable angina, myocardial infarction, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (lacunar infarcts excluded), transient ischemic attack; or invasive cardiovascular procedures/therapies (e.g., valve replacement, CABG, PCI). (Diagnostic coronary angiography without intervention is permitted.)
  • Positive response on the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Screening Version to Question 4 or 5 of the "Suicidal Ideation" section, or any question in the "Suicidal Behavior" section, with the event occurring within 4 weeks prior to screening; or investigator assessment of significant suicide risk during the study.

Other illness

  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or any of their excipients, or presence of a contraindication to GLP-1 RA use.
  • History of any type of diabetes mellitus (history of gestational diabetes is permitted).
  • Secondary obesity due to disease, medication, or other causes (e.g., Cushing's syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, monogenic obesity, or obesity secondary to hypothalamic/pituitary injury).
  • History of symptomatic gallbladder disease at screening (post-cholecystectomy status is permitted); or presence at screening of cholelithiasis conferring high risk for acute biliary pancreatitis.
  • History of moderate-to-severe depression; or Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score ≥15 at screening.
  • Any uncontrolled acute or chronic hepatitis other than metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A or 2B.
  • History of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening (exceptions: definitively cured in situ carcinomas, e.g., basal/squamous cell skin cancer, cervical in situ carcinoma, or prostate in situ carcinoma).

Other

  • Clinical or subclinical thyrotoxicosis at screening, regardless of treatment status.

Who the study is looking for

  • Subject is aged ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form.
  • Body mass index (BMI) is ≥28 kg/m² at both screening and randomization.
  • Subject has a documented history of at least one unsuccessful attempt at weight loss through dietary control prior to screening, and has had \<5% change in body weight during the 12 weeks prior to screening.
  • Subject has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) , and has a centrally assessed apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events/hour on polysomnography (PSG) at screening.
  • Unable or unwilling to receive PAP therapy before screening, and not planning to initiate PAP therapy during the study period.
