About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of IBI362 in Chinese Overweight and Obese Subjects
This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in overweight or obese subjects. This study is divided into the first stage and the second stage. The participant enrollment and data analysis in the two stage are independent and do not influence each other.
In the first stage of this study, about 240 subjects will be enrolled. Qualified subjects will receive placebo in a 2-week introduction period, after that, they will be randomized to IBI362 low dose, IBI362 moderate dose, IBI362 high dose groups, in every group, subjects will be randomized to IBI362 and placebo groups at a ratio of 3:1. Random stratification is performed based on BMI < 28.0 kg/㎡ and BMI≥28.0 kg/㎡. The subjects received drug administration once weekly. The entire trial covers a 3-week screening period, a 2-week placebo introduction period, a-24 week double-blind treatment period, and a 12-week drug discontinuation follow-up period. During the entire research period, the subjects shall maintain diet and exercise control.
The second stage is IBI362 extra high dose study, about 80 subjects will be enrolled. Qualified participants will receive placebo in a 2-week introduction period, after that, they will be randomized to IBI362 extra high dose and placebo groups at a ratio of 3:1. The subjects received drug administration once weekly. The entire trial covers a 3-week screening period, a 2-week placebo introduction period, a 24-week double-blind treatment period, a 24-week extended treatment period, and a 12-week drug discontinuation follow-up period. The 24-week extended treatment period is optional. During the entire research period, the subjects shall maintain diet and exercise control.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing IBI362 in people with Overweight/ Obesity, run by Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. at 1 site in China.
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 2 inclusion and 7 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 17 Nov 2025. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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?
Percent Change from Baseline in Body Weight (time frame: Baseline ,week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04904913, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 17 Nov 2025.
