Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female (sex at birth).
  • Age 18-55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) 27.0-34.9 kilograms per square metre (kg/m^2) (both inclusive) at screening, with overweight due to excess adipose tissue as judged by the investigator.
  • Considered eligible based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests at screening, as judged by the investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products.
  • Previous randomisation in this study.
  • History of allergies (with the exception of seasonal allergies) or history of anaphylactic reactions.
  • Female who is pregnant, breastfeeding, intends to become pregnant, or is of childbearing potential and not using adequate contraception.
  • Current participation (signed informed consent) in any other interventional clinical study.
  • Exposure to an investigational medicinal product within 30 days or five half-lives of that product (whichever is longer) before screening.
  • Any disorder, unwillingness or inability which, in the investigator's opinion, might jeopardise participant safety or compliance with the protocol.
  • Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) greater than or equal to (≥) 6.5 percentage (%) (48 millimoles per mole [mmol/mol]) at screening.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
