The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug RDX-002 works to treat high levels of fat (known as triglycerides, or TGs) in the blood in adults. It will also learn about the safety of drug RDX-002. The main question it aims to answer is if treatment with RDX-002 will lower triglycerides after a high-fat meal in patients who have recently stopped treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide for obesity. The trial will also examine the effect of RDX-002 on body weight and fasting levels of cholesterol. Researchers will compare RDX-002 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if RDX-002 works to reduce triglycerides. Participants will: Take drug RDX-002 or a placebo every day for 12 weeks Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study that will be conducted at a single study site in the United States (US). Patients who have planned discontinuation of semaglutide or tirzepatide treatment for obesity, have lost ≥10% or 10 Killigrams (kg) of their original body weight and are aged 18 to 65 years will be eligible for Screening. The study will assess the efficacy of 12 weeks of treatment with 200 mg twice daily (BID) RDX-002 or placebo on the mean percentage change from baseline on postprandial TGs among patients who have recently discontinued treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide for obesity. The trial will also examine the impact of RDX-002 on body weight and fasting levels of cholesterol.
