Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if UBT251 is safe and effective for treating people who are living with overweight or obesity. Participants will get either UBT251 (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (a treatment that has no active medicine in it), which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

For Part B: 30.0-50.0 kg/m^2 (both inclusive) 3. For Part C: 24-34.9 kg/m^2 (both inclusive) 5. Considered eligible based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator.

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products. 2. Treatment with any marketed product containing compounds with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) or glucagon receptor agonism within 90 days before screening. 3.
