Study Summary

This trial tests a drug to reduce fat under the skin, to see if it's safe, effective and tolerated.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-64 with a BMI between 18.5 and 32, weighing at least 50 kg, having mild to severe abdominal fat without significant weight change or lifestyle changes in the past three months. Participants must not be pregnant, lactating, or planning pregnancy; males must use condoms. Excludes those with coagulation disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, recent malignancies (except certain skin cancers), HIV infection, extreme fear of needles, abnormal abdominal conditions like hernias or scars.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing CBL-514 injections against a placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride) to see if it can reduce belly fat effectively and safely. This Phase 2b trial randomly assigns participants to receive either the real injection or a fake one without knowing which they're getting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here for CBL-514 Injection, common ones for similar treatments include reactions at the injection site such as pain or swelling, nausea, potential allergic reactions and possibly systemic effects depending on how the drug works.

Other Research
Common treatments for reducing subcutaneous fat, such as the CBL-514 injection, typically work by breaking down fat cells through various mechanisms. Injectable agents like CBL-514 may use lipolysis, where the injected substance disrupts the fat cell membrane, leading to the release and subsequent metabolism of stored fat. This process reduces the volume of fat in the treated area. Other non-invasive treatments, such as laser therapy or ultrasound, use thermal or mechanical energy to target and destroy fat cells. These treatments are significant for patients as they offer targeted fat reduction with minimal invasiveness, providing an alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction.
