About

A Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to explore the safety and efficacy of NT-0796 as an adjunct to semaglutide in participants with obesity over a 6 months treatment period.

Full description

Potential participants will be screened within 28 days prior to baseline (Day 1), and eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP, either NT-0796 or placebo) twice daily (BID). All participants will receive sc semaglutide. The IMP will be administered orally. Semaglutide will be initiated and titrated using a fixed, 4-weekly dose escalation scheme, as per the approved USPI.

Following 20 weeks of active treatment, participants will enter a 4-week safety follow-up period before being discharged from the study. Semaglutide will be provided for the period from baseline (Day 1) up until completion of the 4-week safety follow-up.

The Primary Endpoint of the study will be the safety and tolerability of NT-0796 as an adjunct to semaglutide, the key secondary endpoint will be the effect of NT-0796 as an adjunct to semaglutide on weight loss while secondary endpoints include percentage weight change from baseline.
