CK-0045 Proof-of-concept Study in Participants with Overweight / Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
- Conditions
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)Obesity and Overweight
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT06611930
- Lead Sponsor
- Cytoki Pharma
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if treatment with CK-0045 improves blood sugar control after a meal in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and overweight/obesity. It also aims to learn if CK-0045 can reduce body weight in these patients.
The main question it aims to answer is:
• Does 16 weeks of treatment with CK-0045 improve blood sugar control after a meal in participants with overweight or obesity and T2DM? Researchers will compare two dose levels of CK-0045 to a placebo arm (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if CK-0045 improves blood sugar control.
Participants will:
* Have CK-0045 or placebo injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once weekly over a period of 16 weeks.
* Visit the clinic 24 times and stay overnight at 2 of the visits.
* During the visits blood samples will be collected and several other assessments/examinations will be performed to learn about the effects (and potential side effects) of CK-0045.
- Detailed Description
Phase 2a, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial with weekly SC dosing of CK-0045 (2 dose levels) or placebo over 16 weeks followed by 8 weeks of follow-up in participants with overweight / obesity and T2DM. The total duration of involvement for each participant, screening through follow-up, will be approximately 30 weeks.
