What this study is about
This is a Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HM17321 after single and multiple ascending doses in healthy and obese participants.
A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
