Researchers are evaluating the effects of enicepatide, a dual GLP-1GIP receptor agonist, at multiple doses compared with placebo for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight who do not have Type 2 diabetes. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind study aims to assess both the efficacy and safety of once-weekly enicepatide in this population, addressing weight-related comorbidities such as prediabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either placebo or one of three enicepatide dosing regimens, administered once weekly via an integrated drug-device combination product. The treatment phase lasts through 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures are monitored. The study includes multiple assessments to track body weight percentage change, waist circumference, fasting glucose and insulin levels, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and quality of life measures. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including physical examinations, laboratory tests, and questionnaires related to physical functioning and urinary incontinence. Researchers will monitor adverse events, patient-reported health questionnaires, and biomarkers at baseline and weekly intervals through week 72. This long-term follow-up allows for a comprehensive assessment of treatment effects and safety in participants managing obesity or overweight without Type 2 diabetes.
