In plain English
This early-stage (Phase 1/2a) study, run by Wave Life Sciences USA, Inc., is testing a new medicine called WVE-007 in adults aged 18 to 60 who are living with overweight or obesity. Part A includes people with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 to 35, while Part B includes people with a BMI of 35 to 50 who also have pre-type 2 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.
Who can take part
- Men and women aged 18 to 60 years
- Part A: BMI of 28 to 35, stable (within about 5%) for the previous 3 to 6 months; for some extra groups, a BMI of 28 to 40 is allowed
- Part A: healthy in the opinion of the study doctor, based on medical history, an examination, and blood tests
- Part B: BMI of 35 to 50
- Part B: thyroid stimulating hormone (a blood test) within the normal range at screening; thyroid hormone tablets are allowed if the dose has been stable for the last 60 days
- Part B: have pre-type 2 diabetes or type 2 diabetes
Who may not be able to
- Part A: past or current heart disease, such as heart failure, heart attack, or angina, or significantly abnormal test results
- Part A: past or current thyroid disorders
- Part A: medical history or diagnosis of liver disease
- Part A and B: use of any small interfering RNA (siRNA) medicine in the past 12 months
- Part A and B: taking an experimental treatment within the last 90 days (or longer, depending on the medicine), or still in follow-up for another study
- Part B: significant heart disease, in the opinion of the study doctor
- Part B: taking prescription medicines such as anti-obesity or psychiatric medicines in the last 14 days (or longer, depending on the medicine), except certain blood pressure medicines and statins
- Part B: taking more than 2 blood pressure medicines, or a change in blood pressure medicine dose in the 60 days before screening
- Part B: taking more than 1 cholesterol-lowering medicine, or a change in dose in the 60 days before screening
- Part B, pre-type 2 diabetes groups only: use of GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines or dual incretin agonists in the 4 months before screening
- Part B, type 2 diabetes groups only: use of insulin or medicines that make the pancreas release insulin (including sulfonylureas, meglitinides, GLP-1 receptor agonists, dual incretin agonists, and DPP-4 inhibitors) in the 60 days before screening
