What this trial means for you
This study is recruiting now at 19 US sites. It's studying KAI-7535, Placebo for obesity, overweight.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of oral KAI-7535 once daily compared with placebo on percent change in body weight in participants living with obesity or overweight, with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity, without diabetes mellitus. Efficacy in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be evaluated. Safety and tolerability and other weight-related outcomes will be evaluated in both types of participants.
