A Study to Evaluate ALN-6222 in Participants With Obesity

May 29, 2026 updated by: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of ALN-6222 in Adult Participants With Obesity

This is a first in human, randomized, double-blind (DB), placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD), Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of ALN-6222 administered subcutaneously (SC) in adult participants with obesity.
