Brief Summary  

This Phase II clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of GL0034, a weekly injectable drug, in adults with type II diabetes who are overweight or obese. The study compares different doses of GL0034 with placebo over 48 weeks. Key outcomes include changes in blood sugar (HbA1c), body weight, and related health markers. The trial also monitors side effects, quality of life, and other health indicators through lab tests, imaging, and questionnaires.
