A Study of TG103 Injection in Overweight/Obese Subjects Without Diabetes

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of TG103 injection in overweight/obese subjects without diabetes

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-doses, parallel-group study to characterize the safety (including the anti-drug antibodies (ADA)), tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TG103 injection. The study will consist of 3 periods: an approximately 4-week screening period, followed by a 12-week treatment period, and a 3-week safety follow-up period. Eligible subjects will be enrolled into three paralleled dose groups (15 mg, 22.5 mg and 30 mg) with 16 subjects in each group. Within each group, subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive TG103 injection or placebo subcutaneously (SC) once a week (QW) over a period of 12 weeks. Each group will be started at a low dose of 7.5 mg and gradually up-titrated at weekly intervals until the target dose.

History of severe respiratory tract, blood system, central nervous system diseases (e.g., epilepsy, etc.), or history of malignant tumor, mental diseases (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.), or history of other diseases that may endanger the safety of the subjects and are considered unsuitable for this study in the investigator's opinion; Use of approved weight-lowering pharmacotherapy (e.g., orlistat) within 3 months prior to the first dose; History of surgical treatment for obesity (except for liposuction performed one year ago); Have used incretin analogues or other drugs that might interfere with the trial in the opinion of the investigator within 3 months before the first dose; History of drug abuse or dependence within 5 years prior to screening, with a positive urine drugs of abuse testing at screening; Average alcohol intake is more than 21 units of alcohol (male)/14 units of alcohol (female) per week within the 3 months prior to screening, or positive alcohol breath test before administration; Smoke more than 5 cigarettes per day within 3 months prior to screening; Blood lost ≥ 400 mL due to trauma or major surgery or blood donation ≥ 400 mL within 3 months prior to screening; Have participated in any clinical trial involving an investigational product within 3 months prior to screening;
