A study to test whether BI 456906 helps people living with overweight or obesity who do not have diabetes to lose weight
EU CTIS ID: 2022-502529-17-00
What this study is testing
This trial aims to investigate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of survodutide as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in comparison to placebo in trial participants with a BMI ≥30 kg/m^2 or a BMI ≥27 kg/m^2 with at least one weight-related complication but without T2DM. Primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of survodutide low and high dose against placebo.
