Qualified subjects will receive placebo in a 2-week introduction period, after that, they will be randomized to IBI362 low dose, IBI362 moderate dose, IBI362 high dose groups, in every group, subjects will be randomized to IBI362 and placebo groups at a ratio of 3:1. Random stratification is performed based on BMI < 28.0 kg/㎡ and BMI≥28.0 kg/㎡. The subjects received drug administration once weekly. The entire trial covers a 3-week screening period, a 2-week placebo introduction period, a-24 week double-blind treatment period, and a 12-week drug discontinuation follow-up period.

The subjects received drug administration once weekly.
