Clinical research studies are used to test new medicines and other medical treatments. They help researchers understand how an investigational medicine works, if it is safe, how well it works, and what, if any, side effects may occur.

Summary

The EVOLVE-SWITCH study is being conducted by Verdiva Bio Dev Ltd. to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new investigational drug (VRB-101) developed to maintain body weight in people with obesity or overweight with weight-related health conditions. The investigational drug is administered as once-weekly oral tablets.

The investigational drug belongs to a group of medicines called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.
