Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of elecoglipron, an oral tablet taken once daily, for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. This Phase III global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes two independent pivotal studies one in adults without type 2 diabetes T2DM and the other in adults with T2DM, all having at least one weight-related health condition. The goal is to understand how elecoglipron compares to placebo when combined with diet and exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of elecoglipron or a matching placebo daily. Study 1 involves about 3000 adults living with obesity or overweight without T2DM, while Study 2 involves about 1500 adults with obesity or overweight and T2DM. Both studies last 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures will be monitored. During the trial, participants will undergo regular health assessments including measurements of body weight, waist circumference, blood sugar control, blood pressure, and other related health indicators. Researchers will track percent change in body weight from baseline at 72 weeks as the primary outcome. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the study to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatment in managing weight and associated health conditions.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron alone or combined with dapagliflozin compared with a placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who are not adequately controlled by lifestyle management alone or who are on other background glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to understand how these treatments impact blood sugar control and related health factors. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups elecoglipron at dose level 1 with dapagliflozin-matched placebo, elecoglipron at dose level 2 with dapagliflozin-matched placebo, a combination of elecoglipron at one of the studied doses with dapagliflozin, or matching placebos for both drugs. All treatments are taken orally once daily. The study uses a quadruple-blind design to compare these options over a treatment period lasting up to 40 weeks. During the study, participants will have their blood sugar levels measured by changes in Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c from baseline to week 40. Other assessments include body weight, blood pressure, and the time to start any additional rescue medication. Participants will attend regular visits for monitoring and safety evaluations throughout the study duration, which extends until the primary completion date in July 2028.
