This is a Phase III, global, randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, multicentre study to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD6234 compared with placebo, administered SC once weekly in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity without T2DM. Eligible participants will be randomized to either receive AZD6234 or matching placebo respectively.
