Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to look at the safety of the medicine Cagrilintide when compared to placebo in people who do not tolerate marketed glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) therapies and who live with overweight or obesity. Participants will get either Cagrilintide (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (a treatment that has no active medicine in it). Which treatment participant will get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 8 months.
