Official title
A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Multicenter Master Protocol to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Elecoglipron in Participants With Obesity or Overweight With or Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Embold)
Overview
This master study protocol, Study D7260C00015, covers 2 independent, pivotal studies, Study 1 and Study 2. Each study is a global, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter, Phase III study to assess the efficacy and safety of elecoglipron compared with placebo adjunct to diet and exercise for weight management, in adults living with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity, and without T2DM (Study 1) or with T2DM (Study 2).
Detailed description
This is a Phase III, global, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of elecoglipron compared with placebo, given once daily as oral tablets. This protocol covers two independent pivotal studies in adults aged 18 years and above, who are living with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2), or overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) and have at least 1 weight-related comorbidity (Hypertension, Prediabetes, Dyslipidemia, CV disease and/or Obstructive sleep apnea) without T2DM (Study 1) and as well as those who are living with obesity or overweight with T2DM (Study 2). Approximately 3000 participants will be randomized in the study 1 and 1500 participants in the study 2. The primary endpoint is percent change in body weight from baseline at 72 weeks.
Interventions
- Drug Elecoglipron
Elecoglipron film-coated tablet once daily - Drug Placebo
Placebo matching elecoglipron film-coated tablet once daily
Primary outcome measures
- Percent body weight loss [Time frame: 72 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Absolute body weight loss [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Total body weight loss of at least 5%, 10%, and 15% [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Percent body weight loss in participants with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 kg/m2 at baseline [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Waist circumference reduction [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Glycemic control [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Achieving normoglycemia in participants with HbA1c ≥ 5.7% (39 mmol/mol) at baseline [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Study 2 only: Achieving glycemic control in participants with HbA1c ≥ 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) at baseline [Time frame: 72 weeks]
- Systolic blood pressure reduction [Time frame: 72 weeks]
