Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and tolerability of drug ZP6590 and to learn how the body processes the drug ZP6590 in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is the drug ZP6590 safe and well tolerated when administered as escalating single and multiple doses of the ZP6590?
- How quickly and to what extent the administered investigational drug is absorbed and distributed, and how long it takes to be eliminated from the body?
In the first Part of the study:
Participants will:
• Get a single ascending dose of the drug ZP6590 or placebo and will have an observation period of 4 weeks.
In the second Part of the study:
Participants will:
• Get multiple dosages of the drug ZP6590 or placebo for 6 or 12 weeks followed by an observation period of 6 weeks after last dosing.
Description
The main objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of drug ZP6590 as single ascending doses and multiple ascending doses in healthy participants living with normal weight, overweight and obesity.
In addition, the study will investigate the pharmacokinetics of the drug ZP6590.
The trial is divided in two parts:
SAD-Part 1: Participants will be administered a single subcutaneous dose of the drug ZP6590 or placebo and will have an observation period of 4 weeks.
MAD-Part 2: Participants will be administered multiple dosages of the drug ZP6590 or placebo for 6 or 12 weeks followed by an observation period of 6 weeks after last dosing.
After informed consent has been obtained, eligibility of the participants will be assessed during a screening visit.
SAD- and MAD-Part: Eligible participants will be admitted to the site in the morning on Day before dosing and will have ambulatory visits or remain under in-house conditions after dosing.
Safety evaluation for dose escalation:
The safety and exposure assessments of each cohort will take place before dose escalation to the next dose level will start.
