Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of elecoglipron, an oral tablet taken once daily, for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. This Phase III global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes two independent pivotal studies one in adults without type 2 diabetes T2DM and the other in adults with T2DM, all having at least one weight-related health condition. The goal is to understand how elecoglipron compares to placebo when combined with diet and exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of elecoglipron or a matching placebo daily. Study 1 involves about 3000 adults living with obesity or overweight without T2DM, while Study 2 involves about 1500 adults with obesity or overweight and T2DM. Both studies last 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures will be monitored. During the trial, participants will undergo regular health assessments including measurements of body weight, waist circumference, blood sugar control, blood pressure, and other related health indicators. Researchers will track percent change in body weight from baseline at 72 weeks as the primary outcome. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the study to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatment in managing weight and associated health conditions.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin versus baxdrostat with a placebo on albuminuria in adults with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure. This Phase IIb, randomized, multicenter, double-blind study includes participants aged 18 and older, with or without type 2 diabetes and with or without prior SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. The goal is to understand how these treatments affect kidney function and safety in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a daily dose of baxdrostat combined with dapagliflozin or baxdrostat with a placebo matching dapagliflozin. Before randomization, some participants may go through an optional pre-screening and a washout period if they are currently taking an SGLT2 inhibitor. The study includes stratification based on diabetes status to balance groups. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including measurements of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio UACR to evaluate changes in albuminuria from baseline over up to 12 weeks. Safety and other health parameters such as blood pressure, potassium, and sodium levels will also be monitored. Study completion is defined by finishing all scheduled procedures, and the study continues until the last participant completes their last visit globally.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron alone or combined with dapagliflozin compared with a placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who are not adequately controlled by lifestyle management alone or who are on other background glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to understand how these treatments impact blood sugar control and related health factors. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups elecoglipron at dose level 1 with dapagliflozin-matched placebo, elecoglipron at dose level 2 with dapagliflozin-matched placebo, a combination of elecoglipron at one of the studied doses with dapagliflozin, or matching placebos for both drugs. All treatments are taken orally once daily. The study uses a quadruple-blind design to compare these options over a treatment period lasting up to 40 weeks. During the study, participants will have their blood sugar levels measured by changes in Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c from baseline to week 40. Other assessments include body weight, blood pressure, and the time to start any additional rescue medication. Participants will attend regular visits for monitoring and safety evaluations throughout the study duration, which extends until the primary completion date in July 2028.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of combining elecoglipron and dapagliflozin compared to each drug alone in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who have not achieved adequate control through lifestyle changes or other glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to better understand how these treatments work together in managing blood sugar levels in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of five groups two groups receive elecoglipron at different dose levels combined with dapagliflozin two groups receive elecoglipron at different dose levels combined with a placebo matching dapagliflozin and one group receives dapagliflozin alone with a placebo matching elecoglipron. All medications are taken orally once daily. The treatment period lasts 40 weeks, during which the effects of the drugs on blood sugar and other health measures will be monitored. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments of their blood sugar control, body weight, and blood pressure. Researchers will measure changes in Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and self-monitored blood glucose levels. Other outcomes include weight loss and the need for rescue medication. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored. Participation in the trial lasts for 40 weeks, during which participants will attend scheduled visits for evaluation and medication monitoring.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are studying dulaglutide, a medication given by injection under the skin, to explore new dosing options for children and teenagers aged 10 to under 18 years with Type 2 Diabetes. This phase 3 trial focuses on evaluating the safety of dulaglutide doses 3.0 mg and 4.5 mg in pediatric participants who have Type 2 Diabetes managed with diet, exercise, and stable doses of metformin andor basal insulin. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and aims to better understand how dulaglutide works in this younger population. Participants will receive dulaglutide subcutaneously, with no placebo group as this is a single-group study. The study treatment will be administered over a period of about eight months. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor the number of serious side effects that might be related to the drug. Additional evaluations will include measuring dulaglutide levels in the blood over time, changes in blood sugar control Hemoglobin A1c, body weight, cholesterol levels, quality of life assessments, and beta cell function. During the study, participants will attend visits where blood samples and other health assessments will be performed at specific times including baseline, week 26, and week 30. Researchers will use these assessments to track the medications impact and monitor for safety. Participation involves regular monitoring over approximately eight months, allowing researchers to collect important data on how dulaglutide affects young people living with Type 2 Diabetes.

Researchers are studying weight reduction in adults living with obesity or overweight who also have type 2 diabetes. The study evaluates two drugs, macupatide and eloralintide, given alone or together, to understand their effects on body weight. This Phase 2 trial is designed to assess these treatments in a controlled setting with participants randomly assigned to different groups. Participants will receive one of four treatments macupatide with an eloralintide placebo, eloralintide with a macupatide placebo, both macupatide and eloralintide together, or double placebo. All drugs are administered by subcutaneous injection. The main treatment period lasts about 32 weeks, during which the effects on body weight and diabetes-related measures are monitored. Throughout the study, participants will have evaluations including body weight, hemoglobin A1c levels, body mass index, and fasting glucose at the start and at week 32. The study involves a total participation duration of about 48 weeks, allowing for treatment, follow-up, and monitoring. The sponsor is Eli Lilly and Company, and the trial uses double-blind, randomized design to compare treatments fairly.

Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD. This phase 3 study aims to compare orforglipron with a placebo to better understand its impact on major cardiovascular events over about five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron orally along with standard care or a placebo orally along with standard care. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo during the trial period. During the study, participants will be followed for around five years, with researchers monitoring the time to the first major cardiovascular event and additional outcomes such as cardiovascular and kidney events, changes in kidney function measured by eGFR, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The study includes regular assessments to track these outcomes and ensure participant safety throughout the long-term follow-up.
