Current diagnosis or history of diabetes mellitus, including type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), history of diabetic ketoacidosis, or hyperosmolar state/coma.
Started medications within 3 months prior to Screening that may cause significant weight gain, including, but not limited to, tricyclic antidepressants, atypical antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers.
Unstable weight defined as self-reported change in body weight exceeding 5% within 3 months prior to Screening.
Family or personal history of multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 2 or medullary thyroid cancer.
Uncontrolled hypertension or unstable cardiovascular disease.
History of chronic or acute pancreatitis.
Known clinically significant gastric-emptying abnormality or chronic treatment with medications that directly affect gastrointestinal motility.
