About this study
Official title: A Phase III Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicentre Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AZD6234 in Participants With Obesity or Overweight With at Least One Weight-Related Comorbidity Without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (SELENE 1)
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 compared with placebo, administered SC once weekly in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity without T2DM. Eligible participants will be randomized to either receive AZD6234 or matching placebo respectively.

To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo on waist circumference change
Measured: 68 weeks
Percent change in triglycerides from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment
To evaluate the effect of AZD6234 as compared to placebo on triglycerides percent change
Measured: 68 weeks
Change in systolic blood pressure (mmHg) from baseline at 68 weeks of treatment

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 4 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 30 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?

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 30 Oct 2026.
