Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-74 with overweight or obesity (BMI 27.0-39.9 kg/m²) and at least one weight-related complication, who are otherwise healthy aside from that condition.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with clinically significant abnormalities in exam, vitals, ECG, or labs not explained by weight-related comorbidity may not benefit and could be excluded.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1 interventional study evaluating safety, tolerability of alternative dose-titration strategies, and pharmacokinetics of BI 3034701 administered subcutaneously in adults with overweight or obesity and at least one weight-related comorbidity. Participants will receive BI 3034701 or placebo to determine how the drug behaves in the body and how tolerable the dosing regimens are. Key eligibility includes age 18-74, BMI 27.0-39.9 kg/m², and medical assessments confirming no clinically significant abnormalities beyond the weight-related condition. Exclusion criteria include abnormal findings in physical exams, vital signs, ECG, or labs that are not explained by the weight-related complication. The study is led by Boehringer Ingelheim with hVIVO Mannheim as the site.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience safety data that supports the continued development of BI 3034701 and potential future benefits for people with overweight or obesity.

How similar studies have gone: Prior early-phase trials in similar obesity-addressing agents have shown dose-titration strategies can be feasible and tolerable, though this exact BI 3034701 approach is exploratory.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria :

1. Male or female trial participant, overweight/obese with one weight related complication but otherwise healthy according to the assessment of the investigator, as based on a complete medical history including a physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests
2. Age of 18 to 74 years (inclusive)
3. Body mass index (BMI) of 27.0 to 39.9 kg/m² (inclusive)
4. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with international council for harmonisation - good clinical practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial
5. Further inclusion criteria apply.

Exclusion criteria:

1. Any finding in the medical examination (including blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR) or electrocardiogram (ECG)) deviating from normal and assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator, unless confirming the weight related complication
2. Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg, or pulse rate outside the range of 50 to 90 bpm, unless arterial hypertension is the weight related complication in the context of this trial
3. Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance and may interfere with trial participation or interpretation of the results, other than abnormalities attributable to the permitted weight-related complications
4. Impaired renal function, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<60 mL/min/1.73 m² (chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI)) at screening or trial participants requiring dialysis
5. Further exclusion criteria apply.
