Overview
The study will evaluate how well AZD6234 works and how safe it is in adults with excess weight or obesity. Efficacy of AZD6234 will be compared to placebo in percent body weight change from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

This is a Phase III, global, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, multicentre study to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD6234 compared with placebo in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity or overweight. Eligible participants will be randomized to either receive AZD6234 or matching placebo respectively.
