A Study of HS-20094 Evaluating Weight Loss in Obese and Overweight Chinese Subjects

This is a phase 2, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy of HS-20094 in Chinese subjects with overweight or obesity. We enrolled adults (aged 18-65 years, both inclusive) with overweight (body-mass index \[BMI\] ≥24 kg/m2) accompanied by at least one obesity-related comorbidity or obesity (BMI ≥28 kg/m2) from over 10 hospitals in China. Eligible participants were randomly assigned (4:1) within each cohort by using an interactive web-response system to receive once-weekly subcutaneous HS-20094 or placebo for 24 weeks in one of the 4 cohorts below：the 5 mg cohort (5 mg weeks 1-24) ，the 10 mg cohort（5 mg weeks 1-4，10 mg weeks 5-24），the 15 mg cohort（5 mg weeks 1-4，10 mg weeks 5-8,15 mg weeks 9-24），the 20 mg cohort（5 mg weeks 1-4，10 mg weeks 5-8，15 mg weeks 9-12，20 mg weeks 13-24）. The participants, investigators, study site personnel involved in treating and assessing participants in each cohort and sponsor personnel were masked to treatment allocation. The primary endpoints were the percent change in bodyweight from baseline and bodyweight reduction of 5% or higher. The secondary outcomes included the change from baseline to week 24 in waist circumference and BMI.
