The goal of this study is to learn about the safety and tolerability of IBI3042, an investigational oral drug that activates the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. The study will also assess how IBI3042 moves through the body and explore its effects on body weight and related measures. Researchers will evaluate whether single and multiple oral doses of IBI3042 can be administered with acceptable safety and tolerability.
The study has two parts. In Part A, healthy or overweight participants will receive a single oral dose of IBI3042 or placebo. In Part B, overweight or obese participants will receive multiple oral doses of IBI3042 or placebo over 29 days. Participants will be assigned to different dose groups, and dose escalation will be guided by safety, tolerability, and available drug concentration data from earlier groups.
Participants will undergo safety assessments and blood sampling during the study. These assessments will include medical examinations, vital signs, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms. In Part B, researchers will also assess changes in body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and other metabolic measures.
