A total of 135 eligible male or female subjects will be randomized according to a predetermined randomization scheme (1:1:1 ratio) to receive a single multi-injection treatment of high dose RZL-012, low dose RZL-012, or placebo on Day 0. They will be monitored for safety and efficacy over 84 days.
Each subject will be randomized to either active treatment (high or low dose RZL-012) or placebo at a ratio of 1:1:1 per group and receive one of the following: * low dose (concentration of injected solution 34 mg/mL RZL-012) of 5.1 mg/0.15 mL/injection point that results in a dose/volume of 163.2±20.4 mg/4.8±0.6 mL RZL-012, * high dose (concentration of injected solution 50 mg/mL RZL-012) of 7.5 mg/0.15 mL/injection point that results in a maximum total dose/volume of 240±30 mg/4.8±0.6 mL RZL-012, * placebo of 0.15 mL/injection point that results in a total maximum volume of 4.8±0.6 mL. Subjects treated with RZL-012 will undergo a single treatment session with 32±4 injections. The maximal number of injections will be 36 with maximal doses of 183.6 mg and 270 mg for the low and high doses, respectively. Each injection point will be dosed with 5.1 mg RZL-012 for the low dose or 7.5 mg for the high dose in a volume of 0.15 mL/injection site. Placebo (vehicle) subjects will be injected with a 0.15 mL vehicle per each injection site. The maximal injection volume for all groups will be up to 5.4 mL.

Efficacy -Proportion of Subjects With at Least a 1-grade Improvement in the C-CAT Scale at Day 84
To determine the efficacy of RZL-012 versus placebo on submental fat (SMF) reduction measured on Day 84 versus baseline using the Clinician Chin Assessment Tool (C-CAT). The CAT is composed of 5 points where 0 represents no fat and 4 represent very noticeable bulge and fat that extends beyond the neck
Time frame: 84 days
Efficacy - the Proportion of Subjects With at Least 1-grade Improvement in Subject Chin Assessment Tool (S-CAT)
To determine the efficacy of RZL-012 versus placebo on submental fat (SMF) reduction measured on Day 84 versus baseline using the Subject Chin Assessment Tool (S-CAT). The CAT is composed of 5 points where 0 represents no fat and 4 represent very noticeable bulge and fat that extends beyond the neck
Time frame: 84 days
Efficacy - Relative Change in Submental Fat Volume on Day 84 vs. Baseline
Percent reduction from baseline in submental fat volume , as measured with MRI in RZL-012 treated subjects vs. placebo treated subjects on Day 84 following injection vs. baseline.
Time frame: 84 days
Safety - Adverse Events Follow up
To evaluate the safety of RZL-012 subcutaneous injections in the submental area, relative to placebo, as assessed by spontaneous adverse event reports and post injection evaluation of treatment area. Treatment area evaluations including, but not limited to evaluation of edema, bruising, dysphasia, dysphonia, erythema, dyspigmentation, induration, numbness, pain, paresthesia, and pruritus. The number of subjects with treatment-related adverse events will be compared within each treatment group, as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Time frame: 84 days
