Semaglutide in Treatment of Obesity

This is a multicenter, randomized, open, positive parallel controlled phase III clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of once-weekly HD1916 and semaglutide injection and to evaluate immunogenicity in obese non-diabetic adults.

6. Past allergy or suspected allergy to GLP-1 receptor agonists, or past allergy to investigational drug ingredients;
7. Participated in any other trial and received at least one treatment in the 90 days prior to screening;
8. Thyroid function is unstable or uncontrolled 90 days before screening, or TSH\&amp;gt; 6.0 mIU/L or \&amp;lt; 0.4 mIU/L at screening;
9. Previous or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine adenomatosis type 2 (MEN-2) before screening;
