This research evaluates the effects of ribupatide KAI-9531 given as a weekly subcutaneous injection compared to a placebo. It focuses on adults living with obesity or overweight who also have weight-related health issues but do not have diabetes. The study aims to understand how ribupatide influences body weight changes over time. Participants are randomly assigned to one of several groups receiving different doses of ribupatide once weekly or a matching placebo injection once weekly. The study is double-blind, so neither participants nor researchers know who receives the drug or placebo. Dosages range from Dose 1 to Dose 4, and the treatment period lasts up to 76 weeks. During the study, participants will have their body weight and various health indicators measured, including waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood glucose, and quality of life related to weight. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events and immune responses to the drug. The trial spans over approximately 76 weeks, with assessments at baseline and week 76 to evaluate changes and effects.
