What this study is about

This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MWN109 injection in non-diabetic participants with overweight or obesity. Approximately 760 participants will be enrolled. All participants will be stratified by gender (male or female) and baseline BMI level, and then randomized 1:1:1:1 to 4 treatment groups, with 190 participants per group. All treatment groups will implement dose titration to achieve the target dose. The study comprises a screening period of up to 2 weeks, a 52-week treatment period, and a 4-week follow-up period, for a total study duration of 58 weeks. The primary endpoints are the percentage change in body weight from baseline and the proportion of participants achieving ≥5% weight reduction from baseline at Week 52. The secondary endpoints include the proportions of participants achieving ≥10% and ≥15% weight reduction from baseline, as well as the change from baseline in waist circumference at Week 52.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent form; 2. Body weight ≥ 70 kg (males) or ≥ 60 kg (females), with BMI ≥ 28 kg/m² (obesity), or 24 kg/m² ≤ BMI \< 28 kg/m² (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, pre-diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, weight-bearing joint pain, cardiovascular disease, polycystic ovary syndrome); 3. Resting heart rate ≥ 55 bpm and ≤ 100 bpm (during screening and prior to randomization per 12-lead ECG); 4. Self-reported or documented history of dietary and exercise-based weight management for at least 12 weeks prior to screening, with \< 5.0% weight change during the 12 weeks prior to screening, and ability to maintain the required diet and exercise behavior during the study; 5. Participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception from 14 days before signing the ICF until 4 months after the last dose, with no plans for pregnancy or oocyte donation; male participants must agree to use highly effective contraception from signing the ICF until 4 months after the last dose, with no plans for fathering children or sperm donation. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known allergic constitution (allergy to 3 or more foods or drugs), or allergy to GLP-1 receptor agonists or any component of the investigational product, or severe allergic diseases at screening, or history of severe drug allergy. 2. Use of any anti-hyperglycemic agents, weight-affecting medications, or prescription weight-loss medications for weight control within 12 weeks prior to screening; over-the-counter weight-loss medications or appetite suppressants within 4 weeks. 3. Laboratory abnormalities: ALT or AST ≥ 3×ULN; total bilirubin ≥ 1.5×ULN; eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73m²; hemoglobin \< 110 g/L (males) or \< 100 g/L (females); serum calcitonin ≥ 35 ng/L; TSH \> 6.0 or \< 0.4 mIU/L; fasting triglycerides ≥ 5.64 mmol/L; serum amylase or lipase \> 2.0×ULN. 4.
