Summary

This early-stage trial investigates a new drug called BI 3034701 in Japanese adults. Part 1 includes people with obesity or overweight (BMI 27 or higher) to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it over 16 weeks. Part 2 includes healthy volunteers with a BMI between 23 and 27 to check safety and drug levels over 7 weeks. The study aims to gather initial information on safety, tolerability, and how the drug moves through the body.
