Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial.
Obesity or Overweight defined as BMI ≥27 kg/m2 at screening
A minimum absolute body weight of 70 kg for females and 80 kg for males at screening
Male or female participants. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)1 must be willing and able to use two forms of effective contraception where at least one form is highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information.
Patients must have undergone at least one previous unsuccessful nonsurgical weight-loss attempt per investigator's judgement

Exclusion criteria

A HbA1c ≥ 6.5% at screening or diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
Exposure to Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1Ra) based therapies within three months prior to screening
Any suicidal behaviour in the past 2 years, any suicidal ideation of type 4 or 5 in the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS) within 3 months before screening, or during screening period
History of major depressive disorder within 2 years before randomization
