A Study to Evaluate ALN-2232 in Participants With Obesity

May 12, 2026 updated by: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of ALN-2232 as Monotherapy and Co-initiated With Tirzepatide in Adult Participants With Obesity

The purpose of this study is to:

  • evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending doses of ALN-2232 in patients with obesity
  • evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD of multiple doses of ALN-2232 in patients with obesity
  • evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD of multiple doses of ALN-2232 co-initiated with tirzepatide in patients with obesity
