Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of NT-0796 in Participants With Obesity With or Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Conditions
- Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT07055516
- Lead Sponsor
- NodThera Limited
- Brief Summary
A Phase 2a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of NT-0796 as an Adjunct to a Reduced Calorie Diet and Increased Physical Activity in Obese Participants With/Without Type 2 Diabetes over a 6 months treatment period.
- Detailed Description
Potential participants will be screened within 28 days prior to baseline (Day 1), and eligible participants will be randomized 1:1:1 within each strata (T2DM or non-T2DM) to either NT-0796 twice daily (BID), NT-0796 once daily (QD) or placebo (BID). Study drug will be administered orally. Following 24 weeks of active treatment, participants will enter a 4-week safety follow-up before being discharged from the study. The primary endpoint of the study will be percentage weight change from baseline, the key-secondary endpoint will be change in HbA1c from baseline in the T2DM stratum, while secondary endpoints include DEXA scans, a variety of other relevant biometric measures as well as biomarkers. Pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability as well as suicidality will also be assessed.
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- RECRUITING
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 162
- Male or female aged 18 to 75 years (inclusive) at screening who have signed informed consent and are willing and able to comply with the study protocol.
- Have a BMI of ≥30.0 kilogram/square meter (kg/m2) and <40.0 kg/m2. (BMI values should be calculated to one decimal point precision and then assessed in terms of the required range.)
- History of at least one self-reported unsuccessful dietary effort to lose body weight.
- Group 1: Have a diagnosis of T2DM, with HbA1c ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol) but < 10% (86 mmol/mol) (measured at central lab during screening) and are on stable treatment for T2DM for at least 90 days prior to screening.
- Group 2: No diagnosis or signs/symptoms of T2DM and HbA1c < 6.5% (48 mmol/mol), measured at the central lab during screening.
- T1DM, or a history of ketoacidosis, or hyperosmolar state/coma requiring hospitalization at any time prior to screening.
- Have had 1 or more episode(s) of severe hypoglycemia in the 6 months prior to screening (Level 3 ADA 2025) defined as a severe event characterized by altered mental and/or physical status requiring assistance for treatment of hypoglycemia irrespective of glucose level, or has a history of hypoglycemia unawareness or poor recognition of hypoglycemic symptoms. Any participant that the investigator feels will not be able to communicate an understanding of hypoglycemic symptoms and the appropriate treatment of hypoglycemia should also be excluded.
- History of stroke with residual neurological deficit within 2 years or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to Day 1.
- History of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction (both ST segment elevation and non-ST segment elevation) within 6 months prior to Day 1.
- Diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) or clinical evidence suggesting CHF including history of orthopnea, exertional dyspnea, pedal edema, pulmonary rales, hepatosplenomegaly or cardiomegaly at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
