Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adolescents aged 12 to under 18 in China who meet the WS/T 586-2018 obesity criteria or are overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity and who did not lose ≥5 kg after ≥12 weeks of diet and exercise.

Probably not a fit

Patients with type 1 diabetes, pre-pubertal children (Tanner Stage I), or those with recent bariatric surgery are excluded and are unlikely to benefit from participation in this protocol.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 interventional trial plans to enroll about 180 Chinese adolescents aged 12 to under 18 who have not lost at least 5 kg after at least 12 weeks of diet and exercise. Eligible participants meet national criteria for obesity or are overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity and will receive one of multiple doses of IBI362 or placebo. Participants will be monitored for changes in body weight and for safety outcomes throughout the treatment period. Key exclusions include prior type 1 diabetes, pre-pubertal status (Tanner Stage I), and recent bariatric surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, IBI362 could provide an additional medical option to help adolescents lose clinically meaningful weight when lifestyle changes alone have not worked.

How similar studies have gone: Other GLP-1–based weight-loss medications such as liraglutide and semaglutide have shown weight reduction in adolescents, so related pharmacologic approaches have demonstrated success, though IBI362 itself is still under evaluation.
