    Obesity and overweight clinical trial - APRICUS study

    Study for Adults with Obesity or Excess Weight (Overweight)

    For participants who are 18 to 75 years old and have a BMI greater than 30 or a BMI greater than 27 with at least one of the following conditions: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, or obstructive sleep apnea.

By working like amylin, the drug aims to help reduce food intake and promote weight loss. Participants in the study will receive a weekly injection of either the study drug or a placebo for up to 36 weeks (approximately eight months).
