What this trial studies

This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of experimental drugs trevogrumab and garetosmab, in combination with semaglutide, for weight loss in adults with obesity. The study is divided into three parts: Part A focuses on healthy participants to assess safety and tolerability, while Parts B and C involve participants with obesity to evaluate the drugs' effectiveness. Researchers will also monitor side effects, drug levels in the blood, and the body's immune response to the drugs. The study aims to provide insights into new treatment options for obesity.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 80 with a BMI of 30 or higher and a history of unsuccessful weight loss attempts.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of diabetes or those who have undergone bariatric surgery may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could offer new effective treatments for weight loss in adults with obesity.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar drug combinations for obesity treatment, indicating potential for success.
