Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of participants achieving at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline on Patient Reported-Abdominal Fat Rating Scale (PR-AFRS) and a clinically meaningful reduction in abdominal fat.

    Measured by a 5-point ordinal scale and MRI

    From baseline to 4 weeks after final treatment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage change from baseline in abdominal fat in the CBL-514 group versus the placebo group.

    From baseline to 4 weeks after final treatment

  • Percentage of participants with at least a 1-grade improvement on both Participant Reported Abdominal Fat Rating Scale (PR-AFRS) and Clinician Reported Abdominal Fat Rating Scale (CR-AFRS) in the CBL-514 group versus the placebo group.

    From baseline to 4 weeks after final treatment

Study Arms (2)
