Study Information

New Zealand Clinical Research is trialling an investigational drug that may potentially be used for the treatment of obesity and/or insulin resistance (e.g., type 2 diabetes).

Worldwide, obesity and diabetes affect approximately 12-13% of adults. This rate continues to grow every year. The two conditions are closely linked and can lead to other serious consequences, including heart disease.

The drug targets the liver to enhance breakdown of fat and overall reduce the fat content in the liver. This action improves the sensitivity of the body to insulin, lower blood sugars, and decrease risk of developing diabetes or the severity of diabetes.

It is an investigational drug because it has not been approved by MedSafe or other drug regulatory authorities.

This study (2023 FULL 15237) is being funded by OrsoBio, Inc. and has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
