Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BFKB8488A in Otherwise Healthy Overweight and Obese Participants With Likely Insulin Resistance

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of BFKB8488A following subcutaneous (SC) administration in overweight and obese participants (body mass index [BMI] greater than [>] 27 to less than or equal to [</=] 40 kilograms per square meter [kg/m^2]) with markers of insulin resistance. Single ascending fixed doses of BFKB8488A will be evaluated. Participants will be randomized into 7 sequential ascending fixed-dose cohorts of BFKB8488A SC or placebo and safety reviews will be performed before escalation to higher dose cohorts. Additionally, following the ascending fixed-dose SC cohorts, a separate cohort will open to evaluate the PK of BFKB8488A after intravenous (IV) administration.
