This study is designed to test how well once-weekly MET097 (an ultra-long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist) works to treat adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to placebo. MET097 or placebo will be administered to individuals via subcutaneous injection once weekly for 28 weeks. If an individual is randomly assigned to MET097 they will receive one of four different dose regimens.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
This trial has completed. Results may be available via ClinicalTrials.gov or peer-reviewed publications.
Pfizer Inc (PFE) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (52/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
