EU CTIS ID: 2022-502531-18-00

What this study is testing

This trial aims to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of survodutide as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in comparison to placebo in participants with a BMI ≥27 kg/m^2 and T2DM. Primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of survodutide low and high dose against placebo.
