About this study
Official title: EVALUATING THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF MET097, A FULLY-BIASED ULTRA LONG-ACTING GLP-1RA, IN PEOPLE WITH OVERWEIGHT OR OBESITY AND TYPE 2 DIABETES: A PHASE 3, MULTI-CENTER RANDOMIZED PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL (VESPER-5)
The purpose of this clinical study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine to help adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes lose weight. Being overweight or obese means carrying too much body weight. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where there is too much sugar in the blood.
The study medicine is given by a shot under the skin in the belly area. The participants will be trained to do this at home once every week.
Read more
About 660 out of 1000 adults will also receive the study medicine and about 330 out of 1000 adults will receive placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. The investigators will compare the experiences of people receiving the study medicine to those of the people who do not. This will help us assess if the study medicine is safe and effective.
People will take part in this study for about 21 months. During this time, they will have about 14 study visits at the site and 5 over the phone.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing PF-08653944 in people with Obesity and Overweight and/or Obesity, run by Pfizer at 180 sites in 11 countries.
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 10 inclusion and 8 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 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 180 sites in United States, Poland, United Kingdom, Germany, Bulgaria and 6 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Percent Change from baseline in body weight (time frame: Baseline, Week 64). 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 13 Oct 2026.
