What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
This registered phase 3 trial tested Semaglutide.
Equivalence tests were performed for the percentage (%) of weight loss at 44w relative to baseline at the primary endpoint.
It had two arms (groups): TQF3510 (experimental) and Wegovy® (active comparator).
The registry classes the interventions as drug.
Who Took Part
Enrollment: 408 actual participants took part.
It was open to people of any sex aged from 18 years up to 70 years.
Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.
Examples of who could join: Age 18-70 years old, gender is not limited;. Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28 kg/m2;. Self-report at least one unsuccessful diet and weight loss history;. Patients must give informed consent to this study before the trial and sign the informed consent voluntarily.
The full record lists 4 inclusion and 32 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: have a history of diabetes of any type;; patients who had used any hypoglycemic drugs within 90 days before screening;; personal or first-degree relatives have a personal or family history of thyroid c-cell tumor or multiple endocrine tumor syndrome type 2;.
How the Study Was Run
The set-up was randomized, parallel-group and open-label.
Random assignment meant chance, not the researchers, decided who got Semaglutide and who got the comparison, which limits bias.
Groups ran in parallel: each of the participants stayed in one arm throughout.
Being open-label, the Semaglutide study did not mask who received what.
It started in 2025-03-20 with completion listed for 2026-03-07.
It ran at 66 sites in China (66).
Its stated primary purpose is treatment.
What Was Measured
Researchers chose this as the main measure: Percentage (%) of body weight loss (time frame: Baseline to week 44).
It also tracked 2 secondary outcomes, for example Waist circumference change from baseline.
What This Means in Plain Language

The trial is marked completed; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.
