Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety and tolerability of beloranib (ZGN-440 for injectable suspension) administered subcutaneously for 12 weeks
Up to 26 weeks

Safety and tolerability of beloranib will be assessed by comparing frequency and severity of adverse events as well as changes in physical examinations, ECGs, vital signs and laboratory evaluations. Other safety oriented questionnaires and parameters (e.g. sleep quality, hemodynamic parameters) will be measured and evaluated.

Weight loss and responses in metabolic biomarkers over a dose range of ZGN-440
Up to 13 weeks

Change from baseline in body weight and body composition (bioimpedance assessments), and scores of hunger/appetite over the dosing period will be evaluated to document beloranib's effect on obesity. Biomarkers of lipid metabolism will be measured to assess possible mechanisms of loss of body fat, as well as endocrinologic or anti-inflammatory markers.

Demonstrate safe doses of ZGN-440 for reduction of body weight in obese female volunteers.
Approximately 4 weeks

Measures of the safety and tolerability of ZGN-440 include documentation of adverse events and changes (compared to baseline) in vital signs, physical examination, heart rhythm, and laboratory tests.

Demonstrate safe doses of ZGN-433 for reduction of body weight in obese female volunteers.
Approximately 4 weeks

Measures of the safety and tolerability of ZGN-433 include documentation of adverse events and changes (compared to baseline) in vital signs, physical examination, heart rhythm, and laboratory tests.

Measures of the safety and tolerability of ZGN-433 include documentation of adverse events and changes (compared to baseline) in vital signs, physical examination, heart rhythm, and laboratory tests.
Approximately 2 months

Secondary Endpoints

Pharmacodynamics over a dose range of beloranib
Up to 12 weeks
Compare the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of beloranib administered subcutaneously with the profiles obtained previously using an alternative formulation administered subcutaneously and with ZGN-433 (beloranib hemioxalate) administered intravenously
Up to 12 weeks
Apparent bioavailability over a dose range of beloranib
Up to 12 weeks
