Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Demonstrate safe doses of ZGN-433 for reduction of body weight in obese female volunteers.
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.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Incidence, severity and dose-relationship of adverse events as well as changes in physical examinations, ECGs, vital signs and/or laboratory evaluations as a measure of safety and tolerability.
Peak plasma concentration of ZGN-433 to assess relationship to weight loss.
Elimination half-life of ZGN-433 to assess relationship to weight loss.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether multiple doses of ZGN-433 are safe and effective.
Detailed Description
This protocol is designed to test the safety and efficacy of a drug called Beloranib (ZGN-433). It is to be tested for its ability to reduce weight in obese female subjects who are of non-childbearing potential. The study will provide information on how much ZGN-433 gets into the blood, how long it stays in the body, and how it affects other biological markers.
