Summary

This trial will test if an investigational drug is safe and effective at treating obesity and metabolic syndrome in adult participants.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) and metabolic syndrome, having at least three of these: large waist size, high fasting glucose or HgbA1C, abnormal triglycerides or HDL levels, hypertension. Must not have had significant weight changes recently, be on certain medications including weight-loss drugs or have serious health issues like liver disease, epilepsy, active substance abuse, severe psychiatric disorders.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing INV-202 against a placebo to see if it's effective and safe for treating obesity and metabolic syndrome. Participants will either receive the investigational drug INV-202 or a placebo without knowing which one they are getting.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of INV-202 aren't listed here, common ones in trials for new obesity/metabolic treatments may include gastrointestinal discomforts such as nausea or diarrhea; headaches; fatigue; potential allergic reactions; and possibly effects on heart rate/blood pressure.
