About this trial
This is a Phase 1/2a double-blind dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of ARO-ALK7 in adult participants with obesity without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) (Part 1), and the safety, tolerability and PD of multiple doses of ARO-ALK7 in adult participants with obesity with and without T2DM, either as monotherapy or in combination with tirzepatide (Part 2).
