Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new daily pill called CX11 in 90 adults with obesity or overweight who also have weight-related health problems like high blood pressure or prediabetes. The study aims to see if the pill is safe and helps with weight loss compared to a placebo. Participants will take the pill for a set period, and researchers will track changes in body weight.
