About this trial
The main objective of this trial will be to determine whether maridebart cafraglutide is superior to placebo on reduction in liver fat content and body weight in participants living with obesity or overweight and elevated liver fat content, when administered in conjunction with reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
