About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Various Doses of ZT006 in Overweight and Obese Participants
This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ZT006 tablet in participants with overweight and obesity.
In addition to dietary caloric restriction and increased physical activity, study participants will receive either ZT006 tablets or placebo tablets once every morning (placebo looks like ZT006 tablets but has no active pharmaceutical ingredients). For a fair comparison, study participants are assigned to ZT006 or placebo randomly by a computer.

The study consists of a main study and an extension period. The treatment of the main study will last for 28 weeks. ZT006 tablets will be administered daily in an up-titration fashion, i.e. the dose of ZT006 will be gradually increased to reach three target doses (low, medium, high) so that the participants can tolerate its effect. Participants will have 17 clinic visits including one screening visit and one follow-up visit.
The extension study will be conducted only in participants assigned to the low and medium dose groups in the main study. The treatment of the extension period will be 12 weeks.
Female participants who are pregnant, breast-feeding or who plan to become pregnant during the study are not allowed to participate in the study. Pregnancy will be checked by blood or urine tests during the study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ZT006 in people with Overweight , Obesity, run by Beijing QL Biopharmaceutical Co.,Ltd at 12 sites 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 5 inclusion and 10 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 12 sites 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Change in body weight relative to baseline (time frame: Percentage-point from baseline to end of treatment (week 28)of the main study). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Jun 2026.
