What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Enicepatide, or Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This study wants to assess the how well it works and safety of enicepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist (RA) being developed for chronic weight management, as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in participants without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity, and in participants with T2DM who have obesity or overweight.
They plan to enroll about 300 people at 21 sites. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.
