About this study
Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Study of the Effect of V24343 on Blood Pressure and Weight in Obese Subjects
Randomised, double-blind, parallel group comparison of four dose levels of V24343 and placebo to study the effect of V24343 on blood pressure and weight in obese subjects.
The primary variables, change in blood pressure (BP) and pulse, will be assessed both by outpatient ambulatory monitoring of vital signs and by regular clinic monitoring.
Read more
The efficacy of V24343 will be assessed by measurement of body weight, waist circumference, bioimpedance assessment of body composition and blood glucose.
Assay of plasma concentration of V24343 in blood samples collected at intervals after dosing will be used to assess the pharmacokinetics of V24343.
Other safety assessments comprise routine monitoring of adverse events; concomitant medication; clinical laboratory safety tests, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) and self-completed psychiatric assessments.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing V24343 in people with Obesity, run by Vernalis (R&D) Ltd at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To examine any effects of V24343 on pulse and blood pressure (vital signs) (time frame: 24-hour on screening and pre-dose on Days 2, 26 and 56. Semi -recumbent and stand SBP , DBP and pulse, in duplicate at each time point.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
