What this study is about

This study is designed to test the weight loss effects, safety, and tolerability of multiple monthly doses of MET097 after 12 weekly doses, compared to placebo. Participants are eligible if they have overweight or obesity and do not have type 2 diabetes.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
