Overview
The purpose of this pediatric, chronic weight management, Phase 3 Master Protocol (PWMP) is to create a framework to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pharmacologic agents for the treatment of obesity or overweight in pediatric participants.
Description
The PWMP establishes entry criteria for newly enrolled participants across the master and the ISAs. The ISAs may start independently of other ISAs as interventions become available for clinical testing. PWMP results will be reported when all the ISA's complete.
