Brief summary
This study is designed to test how well MET097, an active drug, works to treat individuals with obesity or overweight when compared to placebo. MET097 or placebo will be given to individuals weekly for 28 weeks. If an individual is assigned to MET097 they will receive one of four different dose levels. Participants who have completed the first 28 weeks may participate in an exploratory extension study.
Detailed description
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the efficacy and safety of four different dose levels of MET097 vs. placebo for body weight loss in adult participants with obesity or overweight (body mass index \[BMI\] 27 to 50 kg/m2, aged 18 to 70), after 28 weeks with once weekly dosing. Participants who have completed the first 28 weeks may participate in an exploratory extension study that includes less frequent dosing regimens. After the dosing period, there is an additional post-treatment follow-up period.
Interventions
MET097 is an ultra-long-acting, fully-biased analog of human GLP-1.
Sterile 0.9% (w/v) saline will be used as placebo treatment during the study.

Recruitment details
The study consisted of 2 parts: Part A and optional Part B. Eligible participants who completed Week 28 (Day 197) assessments of Part A could enter Part B. The analysis for primary outcome measures are completed and results are reported based on primary analysis when all participants completed their Week 28 visit of Part A. Analysis for secondary outcome measures are still ongoing therefore, results for all secondary outcome measures and Part B of study will be reported upon study completion.
