About this study
Official title: A Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicentre Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AZD6234 in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity or Overweight (SELENE 2)
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, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, multicentre study to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD6234 compared with placebo in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity or overweight. Eligible participants will be randomized to either receive AZD6234 or matching placebo respectively.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
LenbelintideDrug
Also called AZD6234
IMP injected subcutaneously, once a week. Unit dose strength as per CSP.
PlaceboDrug
Placebo matching IMP dose injected subcutaneously, once a week.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| AZD6234 Dose 1 | Experimental | AZD6234 Dose 1 Receives: Drug: Lenbelintide |
| AZD6234 Dose 2 | Experimental | AZD6234 Dose 2 Receives: Drug: Lenbelintide |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Matching placebo Receives: Drug: Placebo |
