Brief summary
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aimed at exploring the effects of LAE102 injection in combination with Tirzepatide on body composition.
Interventions
Receive LAE102, once a week, by subcutaneous injection.The dosage of Tirzepatide starts at lower dose, administered subcutaneously once a week, and is gradually increased every 4 weeks.
Receive the LAE102 placebo, once a week, by subcutaneous injection. The dosage of Tirzepatide starts at lower dose, administered subcutaneously once a week, and is gradually increased to a higher dose level every 4 weeks.

Intervention model description
A total of 60 eligible obese participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. They will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the LAE102 group and the placebo group. The injections will be given subcutaneously once a week, and stratified randomization will be conducted based on gender. At the same time, all participants will receive open-label treatment with Tirzepatide(initiated with starting from lower dose once a week, subcutaneously, and titrated to higher dose levels every 4 weeks. LAE102 and its placebo will be combined with Tirzepatide for 24 weeks of treatment.
