Potential participants will be screened within 28 days prior to baseline (Day 1), and eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP, either NT-0796 or placebo) twice daily (BID). All participants will receive sc semaglutide. The IMP will be administered orally. Semaglutide will be initiated and titrated using a fixed, 4-weekly dose escalation scheme, as per the approved USPI.
Following 32 weeks of active treatment, participants will enter a 4-week safety follow-up period before being discharged from the study. Semaglutide will be provided for the period from baseline (Day 1) up until completion of the 4-week safety follow-up.
The Primary Endpoint of the study will be the safety and tolerability of NT-0796 as an adjunct to semaglutide, the key secondary endpoint will be the effect of NT-0796 as an adjunct to semaglutide on weight loss while secondary endpoints include percentage weight change from baseline.
