What this trial studies

This is a phase 1, randomized interventional study comparing ABBV-295 subcutaneous injections with matching placebo in adults who have a body mass index of 30.0–45.0 kg/m2. The study measures adverse events, changes in body weight, and the pharmacokinetics of ABBV-295 after dosing. Key entry rules exclude people with recent weight change, uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy, or recent use of obesity medications. Participants will attend screening and treatment visits at a clinical site in Grayslake, Illinois.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults with a BMI between 30.0 and 45.0 kg/m2 who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, have stable comorbidities, and have not had recent weight change or recent obesity drug use are appropriate candidates.

Not a fit: People with recent significant weight change, uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%), recent use of obesity medications, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this phase 1 trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, ABBV-295 could become a new medication option that helps adults with obesity lose weight while being well tolerated.

How similar studies have performed: Phase 1 programs for new obesity drugs have sometimes shown early safety and weight effects, but ABBV-295 itself has limited published human results to date.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participant has a self-reported change in body weight ≥ 5% within 3 months prior to Screening.
* HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and/or serum glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL at Screening.
* Participant has taken a medication for the purpose of treating obesity or has been enrolled in an obesity trial within 180 days prior to study treatment administration.
