Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether multiple doses of ZGN-433 is safe and well tolerated in obese female subjects. The study will also provide information on how much ZGN-433 gets into the blood, how long does it stay in the body, and how it affects other biological markers.

Detailed description

This protocol is designed to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of a drug called ZGN-433. It is to be tested for its ability to reduce weight in severely obese female subjects who are post menopausal or infertile.

Interventions

Subjects will receive placebo or ZGN-433 twice weekly over 6 weeks treatment period for a total of 12 doses. A range of doses will be evaluated.
