Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Single ascending dose cohorts (Part 1): Completed
Administered doses of CT-868 or matched placebo: 0.1mg, 0.5mg, 1.5mg, 3.0mg, 5.0mg, 7.5mg and 11.0mg given by subcutaneous (SC) injection. Injection administered by staff in the study unit.

During Part 3, subjects will be confined to the study unit and assessed from Day -2 to Day 5 before being discharged on Day 6. Subjects will return to the clinical unit for outpatient visits on Day 8. Day 15 and Day 22 and will return on Day 27 for a further 3 night confinement following which they will be discharged and be required to return for two further follow up visits on Day 35 and Day 58.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed by the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect the drug has on the body) of CT-868 when administered as single and multiple ascending doses in overweight/obese (otherwise healthy) participants and as multiple doses in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study will start with a low single dose and safety information will be reviewed by a safety review committee to confirm if higher doses can be given to sequential cohorts before giving multiple doses.
