- Intrauterine device with a failure rate less than 1% per year.
Male participants must:
- Agree to use, with their partners, one of the highly effective contraceptive methods, from Baseline until at least 30 days following last dose of trial drug.
- Refrain from donating sperm during the trial and for at least 30 days after the end of the trial.
- Participant is willing and able to comply with the study protocol, visit schedule, and other study-related instructions and procedures.
Participants with Renal Impairment
- The participant must have no clinically significant change in disease status within the last 30 days before screening, as documented by the participant's recent medical history.
- The participant must have a condition consistent with renal impairment, for at least 3 months, and associated symptoms, but otherwise be determined to be in good health in the opinion of the Investigator.
- The participant must have blood pressure (after the participant is supine for at least 5 minutes) between 90 and 160 mmHg systolic, inclusive, and not higher than 110 mmHg diastolic. If blood pressure is out of range, up to 2 repeated assessments are permitted at Screening and check-in. Pulse should not be higher than 110 beats per minute (bpm).
- Concomitant medications to treat underlying disease states or medical conditions related to renal impairment are allowed, however must be on a stable dose of medication and/or treatment regimen for at least 4 weeks before dosing as well as during the study.
Exclusion criteria
- Participant has a screening calcitonin ≥ 50 ng/L (pg/mL).
- Participant is on continuous renal replacement therapy or peritoneal dialysis.
- Participant has a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (MENS) type 2.
- Participant has a history of pancreatitis (acute or chronic).
- Participant is taking medications with a narrow therapeutic index such as digoxin, warfarin, etc.

- Participant has any lifetime history of a suicidal attempt.
- Participant has any medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, can confound study assessments or safety concerns.
- Participant has a known hypersensitivity to the study medications or excipients.
- Participant has clinically significant abnormal values on Screening laboratory tests or other evidence of uncontrolled disease involving any system-organ (e.g., cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, neurological, endocrine, GI, psychiatric, etc.) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the participant at risk by participating in the study.
- Participant has a positive urine drug screen (amphetamine, barbiturate, benzodiazepine, cocaine, opiates, tetrahydrocannabinols). A positive test is allowed in case the participant receives a prescription drug responsible for the positive test. Waived for ESRD participants with no urine output.
- Participant had a myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or ischemic stroke within the past 6 months prior to investigational product administration.
- Participant has a clinically significant ECG abnormality as judged by the Investigator.
- Participant has an active malignancy.
Note: participants with past history of malignancy may be included if:
- Participant has a history of basal cell or in-situ squamous cell carcinoma of skin that has been adequately treated and resolved, per Investigator's judgement.
- Participant has a history of other malignancy that have been adequately treated with no evidence of recurrence/relapse within the last 5 years, per Investigator's judgement.
- Participant has a history of alcohol or drug abuse in the previous two years.
- Participant has any of the following laboratory abnormalities at Screening:
- Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal.
- Serum total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 mg/dL (Note: participants with elevated total bilirubin which, as per Investigator's clinical judgement, is thought to be due to Gilbert's syndrome may be included).
- White blood cell count < 3.0 x 103/μL.
- International normalized ratio (INR) ≥ 1.3.
- Hemoglobin < 11.0 g/dL in participants with normal renal function or hemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL in participants with moderate or severe renal impairment.
- Participant has a known history of coagulopathy such that SC injection will result in excessive bleeding at the injection sites.
- Participant has a positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. A participant who is hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody negative can be included in the study. A participant with positive HCV antibodies shall be tested for HCV-ribonucleic acid (RNA). If tested negative, the participant can be included in the study.
- Participant participated in another interventional study or received another investigational drug/device/biologic within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of study intervention.
- Participant has been placed in an institution on official or judicial orders.
- Participant is related to or dependent on the Investigator, Sponsor, or study site such that a conflict of interest may arise.
- Participant has any condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes participation in the study (either poses an unacceptable risk to the participant or interferes with assessment/interpretation of study outcomes).
