Overweight or Obesity

Brief summary

This is a study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Efsubaglutide Alfa at difference dose range once-weekly in patients with Overweight or Obesity.

Detailed description

This study will look at the adverse events and the change in participants' body weight from the start of the study to the end. Weight loss in participants taking Efsubaglutide Alfa will be compared to weight loss in participants taking placebo.
