A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CBL-514 Injection for Reducing Subcutaneous Fat ( SUPREME-02 )
This research study, called SUPREME-02, is testing a new injection, CBL-514, designed to reduce fat under the skin in the tummy area. It's a large-scale study, meaning many people will participate, to confirm if the injection is effective and safe. Participants will be adults with moderate to severe tummy fat and will receive up to four injections, given once every four weeks. Some participants will receive the active study drug, while others will receive a dummy injection (placebo) – neither they nor their doctors will know which one they’re getting. This helps researchers get clear results. The study aims to gather important information about this potential new treatment.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is looking into a potential new treatment called CBL-514, which comes as an injection. The main goal of this research is to see if this injection can safely and effectively reduce stubborn fat under the skin in the tummy area. Many people find it hard to get rid of this type of fat, even with diet and exercise.
To make sure the results are fair and accurate, the study is set up in a special way. It's a 'randomised' study, which means people are put into groups by chance, like flipping a coin. Some will get the active CBL-514 injection, and others will get a 'placebo', which is a dummy injection containing only salt water. Neither you nor your study doctor will know which one you're getting. This helps scientists to truly understand the effects of the active drug.
This is a 'Phase 3' study, which means the treatment has already been tested in smaller groups of people and shown some promise. Now, researchers need to give it to a larger group to confirm its effectiveness and safety before it could potentially be made available to more people. By joining, you'd be helping scientists learn more about this new treatment option.

Who may be eligible?
To join this study, you need to be an adult, at least 18 years old. Your body weight should be at least 50 kg, and your Body Mass Index (BMI) should be between 18.5 and 30. You also need to have abdominal fat that your doctor and you both consider moderate or severe, and you should be bothered by this fat.
There are also some reasons why you might not be able to join. For instance, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant, or if you have certain health conditions like blood clotting problems, poorly controlled diabetes, or serious heart issues. If you have an extreme fear of needles or injections, or if you've recently had surgery or treatments in your tummy area, you might not be suitable.
This study is open to both men and women who fit these criteria and are willing to follow the study rules. It's important to discuss all your health conditions and medications with the study team to see if this study is right for you.

What does participation involve?
If you join this study, you'll be one of about 320 adults. You could receive up to four treatments with the study drug, given as an injection under the skin in your tummy area. Each injection will be given once every four weeks. You'll need to visit the study clinic regularly for these injections and for check-ups. During these visits, the study team will monitor your health, assess your tummy fat, and ask questions about how you’re feeling. You'll also be asked to keep your lifestyle stable throughout the study. The total duration of your participation will include these treatment periods and follow-up visits.
