简要总结
This study is a proof of concept study to demonstrate that EMP16-02, a fixed dose combination (FDC) of orlistat and acarbose in an oral multiple-unit modified release (MR) formulation leads to a clinically relevant decrease in body weight. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of treatment with two different doses of EMP16 02 (120 mg orlistat/40 mg acarbose and 150 mg orlistat/50 mg acarbose) for 26 weeks on reducing body weight in obese patients.
详细描述
This study is a proof of concept study to demonstrate that EMP16-02, a fixed dose combination (FDC) of orlistat and acarbose in an oral multiple-unit modified release (MR) formulation leads to a clinically relevant decrease in body weight. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of treatment with two different doses of EMP16 02 (120 mg orlistat/40 mg acarbose and 150 mg orlistat/50 mg acarbose) for 26 weeks on reducing body weight in obese patients.
EMP16-02 will be given to obese patients with an initial BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² or ≥ 28 kg/m² in the presence of other risk factors (e.g., hypertension, glucose dysregulation such as impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or dyslipidaemia.
The study consists of 6 visits to the research clinic, including screening and follow-up. There will be no overnight stays at the clinic.
Visit 1: Screening (Visit 1) will take place from Day -28 to Day -1. Visit 2: Eligible and consenting patients will arrive at the research clinic in the morning of the first dosing day (Day 1, Visit 2) after at least 8 hours overnight fasting.
A re-check of eligibility including a brief physical examination, vital signs and assessment of body weight will be conducted. The patients will be randomised to either of two doses of EMP16-02 or placebo:
