Summary
The goal of this Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of VK2735 in adults who are obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) without comorbidities.
Detailed Description
Approximately 270 participants will be enrolled across two study parts: Part A and Part B. A total of 18 treatment groups are planned. Part A contains Groups 1 to 12, and Part B contains Groups 13 to 18. Part A will be completed prior to the enrollment of Part B. Participants in Part A will be randomized equally across 12 treatment arms to receive one of 11 VK2735 dose regimens or a matching placebo regimen. Participants in Part B will be randomized equally across 6 treatment arms to receive one of four VK2735 dose regimens or matching placebo regimen. Each study part is comprised of treatment periods 1 and 2, lasting 21 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively. Study participants may receive a different dosing frequency and/or route of administration between the two periods.
