ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new medication called DA-302168S to see how safe and effective it is for adults who are overweight or obese. The study aims to find out if taking this medication can help these individuals manage their weight better. To participate, you need to be between 18 and 75 years old and have a body mass index (BMI) of over 24.0. This means you might be eligible if you are classified as overweight or if you are considered obese with a BMI over 28. However, there are some specific health conditions and recent medical treatments that may prevent you from joining, such as certain types of obesity caused by medical issues, recent weight loss surgeries, or serious heart problems.

If you decide to participate, you will be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo (a pill that does not contain the active drug) without knowing which one you get. The trial will help researchers understand how well DA-302168S works and how it affects your health. It's important to know that the study is not yet recruiting participants, so you will need to wait until they start looking for volunteers. Overall, this trial is a step toward finding better treatments for weight management in adults.
