About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicentre Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AZD6234 as an Adjunct to Incretin-based Therapies in Participants With Obesity or Overweight With at Least One Weight-Related Comorbidity With or Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (SELENE 3)

The study will evaluate how well AZD6234 works and how safe it is in adults with excess weight or obesity. Efficacy of AZD6234 will be compared to placebo in percent body weight change from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase III, global, randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, multicentre study to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD6234 as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies, compared with placebo in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity and with or without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Eligible participants will be randomised to either receive AZD6234 or matching placebo respectively. Study treatment (AZD6234 or placebo) will be added on to the participant's stable dose of background incretin-based therapies.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent change in body weight from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in percent body weight change

    Measured: 68 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percent change in body weight from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in percent body weight change in the T2DM and non-T2DM sub-populations separately

    Measured: 68 weeks

  2. Absolute change in weight (kg) from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies on the absolute change in weight in the full population and in the T2DM and non-T2DM sub-populations separately

    Measured: 68 weeks

  3. Achievement of at least 5% body weight loss from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in body weight loss of at least 5% in the full population and in the T2DM and non T2DM sub-populations separately

    Measured: 68 weeks

  4. Achievement of at least 10% body weight loss from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies in body weight loss of at least 10% in the full population and in the T2DM and non T2DM sub-populations separately

    Measured: 68 weeks

  5. Change in waist circumference (cm) from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate whether AZD6234 as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies on the waist circumference in the full population and in the T2DM and non-T2DM sub-populations separately

    Measured: 68 weeks

  6. Percent change in triglycerides from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies on triglycerides percent change

    Measured: 68 weeks

  7. Change in systolic blood pressure (mmHg) from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies on the systolic blood pressure change

    Measured: 68 weeks

  8. Change in HbA1c from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

    For participants with T2DM only: to evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as an adjunct to incretin-based therapies on HbA1c change in the T2DM sub population only

    Measured: 68 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lenbelintide in people with Obesity or Overweight and Weight-Related Comorbidity, run by AstraZeneca at 96 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 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 96 sites in United States, Japan, Canada, China, Denmark 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?

Contact AstraZeneca Clinical Study Information Center (1-877-240-9479, information.center@astrazeneca.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent change in body weight from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment (time frame: 68 weeks). 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 Sep 2026.
