Summary description of the study

This is a Phase III study, the early development phase of drugs for humans. The researchers will evaluate and provide information on how well Maridebart Cafraglutide works and how well it is tolerated compared to placebo in a person for the treatment of obesity or overweight, and whether it causes side effects. The study lasts for each participant 84 weeks and includes a pre-screening period of up to 4 weeks, a 72-week treatment period, and a safety follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last dose of Maridebart Cafraglutide. The study will include men and women who are at least 18 years old and suffer from obesity or overweight, having a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m2 or a BMI of ≥ 27 to < 30 kg/m2, and who have had at least one unsuccessful attempt to lose weight through diet and exercise in the opinion of the investigator. Participants who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus or who have had (or plan to have during the study) a surgical or endoscopic procedure for the treatment of overweight are not allowed to participate in the study. Participants who have taken or are taking unauthorized medications as part of the study are not allowed to participate.
