What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase 2 study tests an investigational drug called STP705, given as injections under the chin, to reduce submental fat (double chin). Healthy adults aged 18 to 65 with moderate to severe submental fullness receive up to three treatment sessions over two months. The study evaluates how well the injections reduce fat and checks for safety and tolerability at three different dose levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
STP705
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a non-surgical option for reducing submental fat (double chin) with a simple injection procedure.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 2 study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects like injection site reactions are possible, and the treatment may not produce noticeable fat reduction.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive, at the time of Screening. * Body mass index of ≤ 40.0 kg/m2. * Good general health, in the opinion of the Investigator or designee, with no clinically significant medical history, and have no clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECGs), or laboratory assessments at Screening and/or before the first administration of the IP. * Grade 2 or 3 Submental fat, as assessed by the Investigator using the Clinician-Reported-Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS) AND as assessed by the participant using the Participant-Reported- Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS). * Dissatisfaction with the submental area, as assessed by the participant as a rating of 0, 1, or 2 using the Participant-Self Satisfaction Scale (PSSS). * History of stable body weight for at least 6 months (+/- 5 kg) prior to first dosing with the IP. * Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or fertile man agrees to use an acceptable method of contraception from the start of Screening until 90 days after the last dose of IP. Acceptable methods of contraception are defined in . * Agrees to refrain from making significant changes, in the judgement of the Investigator, to dietary or exercise habits during the study. * Agrees to forego any treatment or behaviour (eg, unshaven facial hair) during the participation inthe study that may affect the assessments of the submental area. * No clinically significant abnormalities at Screening on clinical and laboratory tests, at the discretion of the Investigator. * Able and willing to attend the necessary visits to the study site. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to the commencement of any study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * History of any intervention to treat Submental fat (eg, liposuction, surgery, or lipolytic agents). * Treatment with botulinum toxin injections in the neck or chin area within 6 months prior to the first dosing with the IP through the end of study (EOS). * History of trauma associated with the chin or neck areas that in the judgement of the Investigator may affect evaluation of safety or efficacy of treatment. * Evidence of any cause of enlargement in the submental area (eg, thyroid enlargement, cervical adenopathy) other than localised Submental fat. * A Submental Skin Laxity Grade (SMSLG) of 4 or other anatomical feature (eg, predominant subplatysmal fat, loose skin in the neck or chin area, prominent platysmal bands), as assessed within 28 days prior to the first dosing with the IP, for which reduction in Submental fat may, in the judgement of the Investigator, result in an aesthetically unacceptable outcome. * Treatment with radio frequency, laser procedures, ultrasound, chemical peels, or dermal fillers in the neck or chin area within 12 months prior to first dosing with the IP and through the end of study(EOS). * History or current symptoms of dysphagia. 8. Any medical condition (eg, respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological disease, or thyroid dysfunction) that (in the opinion of the Investigator) would interfere with assessment of safety or efficacy or compromise the participant's ability to undergo study procedures or give informed consent. * History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions, or sensitivity to the IP or its constituents. * Treatment with an investigational device or agent within 30 days prior to the first dosing with the IP and through the end of study(EOS). * Blood or plasma donation or had significant blood loss (\> 500 mL) within 30 days prior to the first dosing with the IP. * History of severe Type I-IV hypersensitivity reactions. * History of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). * History of marginal mandibular nerve injury. * History or current lower facial weakness and/or lower facial asymmetry. * Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning to breastfeed during the study and for at least 90 days (approximately 5 half-lives of the study drug) after the last dose of study treatment. * Unwillingness to use medically acceptable methods of contraception during the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment. * Presence of genetic or endocrine disorders associated with obesity that are not amenable to submental fat reduction, including but not limited to Cohen syndrome, Alström syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, untreated hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, or lipodystrophy syndromes. * Active dermatitis, open wounds, or infection in the treatment area. * Medical conditions affecting platelet function or coagulation. * Use of medications that affect coagulation or platelet function within 14 days prior to the first dosing of the IP, or unwillingness to abstain from such medications through the end of study(EOS). * Use of tanning beds and/or excessive sun exposure within 14 days prior to the first dosing of the IP, or unwillingness to abstain from these during the study through the end of study(EOS).
