Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants who are aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 55 years at the time of signing the informed consent; no gender restriction.
• Participants with 27 ≤ body mass index (BMI) ≤ 45 kg/m2.
• For male participants, a waist circumference ≥ 90 cm is required, while female participants ≥ 85 cm.

Exclusion Criteria:
