About this study

In plain language

This study tests olatorepatide, an experimental drug, in adults with overweight or obesity who do not have diabetes. It compares the drug with a placebo (a treatment with no active drug) to see how safe it is and how well it works at different doses and schedules. It also checks how the body handles the drug and whether it makes antibodies that may make the drug work less well.

This study will test an experimental drug called olatorepatide ("study drug") to determine how safe and effective this drug is compared to placebo and how easily the body can accept this drug at different doses and dosing schedules without causing side effects, as well as how the drug is processed in the body by participants with overweight or obesity but do not have diabetes. The study is looking at: * What side effects the study drug might cause * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * How well the study drug works * What effects the study drug may have on the body at different dosing schedules * If the body makes antibodies to the study drug as this may cause the study drug to not work as well

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

  • OR have a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one listed weight-related health problem: high blood pressure, unhealthy blood fat levels, prediabetes (blood sugar above normal), sleep apnea (breathing stops and starts during sleep), disease in the heart’s arteries, heart failure, or disease of blood vessels in the brain.
  • Other study rules also apply.

Who can't join

  • Have ever been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
  • Your weight changed by more than 5 kg (about 11 pounds) in about the 3 months before screening.
  • Have had weight-loss surgery, including surgery to change, undo, or remove an earlier weight-loss procedure.
  • Have had pancreatitis (swelling of the pancreas), cholecystitis (swelling of the gallbladder), or gallstones that caused symptoms.
  • You or a family member have had medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, a condition that causes tumors in glands that make hormones.
  • Other study rules also apply.
