Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection. This study focuses on adults with type 1 diabetes to see how well the weekly insulin controls blood sugar when combined with insulin aspart, which is taken 2 to 4 times daily. The trial aims to assess blood sugar control over about 8.5 months. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either insulin icodec once a week with insulin aspart daily or insulin glargine once a day with insulin aspart daily. Both insulins are given as subcutaneous injections. The study is designed as a parallel comparison to evaluate the effects of these insulin regimens on blood sugar control. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to measure HbA1c and glucose levels, monitoring of hypoglycemic episodes, and tracking of insulin doses and body weight. The primary outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26. Secondary outcomes include time spent in target glucose ranges and frequency of low blood sugar events. The study will last about 8.5 months with ongoing monitoring to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating how well once-weekly insulin icodec maintains blood sugar levels compared to daily basal insulin injections in adults with type 2 diabetes. The study focuses on people who need to start basal insulin treatment after using other glucose-lowering medications. This phase 4 trial aims to assess insulin icodecs effectiveness in real-world clinical practice over about 13 months. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either weekly subcutaneous injections of insulin icodec or daily subcutaneous injections of basal insulin analogues such as insulin glargine, detemir, or degludec. The study compares these two insulin regimens as part of standard type 2 diabetes care. Treatment continues during the 52-week period to monitor blood sugar control and treatment satisfaction. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including measuring changes in glycated hemoglobin HbA1c from baseline to week 52. They will also complete questionnaires on treatment adherence, satisfaction, and burden, and researchers will track severe hypoglycemia episodes and insulin doses. The trial spans about 13 months, providing thorough monitoring of treatment impact and safety in daily clinical use.

Researchers are studying the safety and effects of two drugs, PF-08653945 and PF-08653944, given alone or together for weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. This Phase 2b trial compares these drugs to a placebo to better understand their impact on body weight over time. The study is designed to evaluate different doses and combinations of these drugs to find the most effective approach. Participants receive subcutaneous injections of either PF-08653945 alone, PF-08653945 combined with PF-08653944, PF-08653944 alone, or a placebo. The study uses a randomized, double-blind design with multiple cohorts receiving different drug combinations or placebo. Treatments are administered as injections under the skin over a planned period of 48 weeks, with follow-up extending to 70 weeks to monitor safety and outcomes. During the study, participants will have their body weight measured at baseline and regularly through Week 48 and Week 60 to track changes. Researchers will assess the percentage of weight loss and monitor any treatment-emergent or serious adverse events up to Week 70. Participants will attend scheduled visits for injections and evaluations throughout the trial, which lasts for over a year in total.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. The study is a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled trial focusing on preventing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or placebo with dapagliflozin. Those starting the baxdrostatdapagliflozin treatment may begin with a lower baxdrostat dose that can be increased if certain criteria are met. A run-in period with dapagliflozin alone for 4 to 6 weeks may occur for those not previously treated or treated less than 4 weeks with SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment visits will occur at about 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months until study closure. Participants will undergo screening for eligibility within a 14-day period, with an optional pre-screening phase that does not require site visits or consent. During the study, regular assessments including monitoring for heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes will be conducted. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they may continue with open-label dapagliflozin unless specific discontinuation criteria apply. The study will continue until a predetermined number of cardiovascular events occur, with ongoing data collection and visits according to protocol.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilebesiran to standard antihypertensive treatment can reduce major cardiovascular events in adults with hypertension that is not well controlled and who either have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for it. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to determine if zilebesiran lowers the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure events compared to placebo. The study will continue until a targeted number of these events have occurred, which may take up to about 5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 300 mg of zilebesiran or a placebo, both given as subcutaneous injections every 6 months, alongside their usual blood pressure medications. The study uses a parallel design and includes careful monitoring of blood pressure and cardiovascular events over time. Both groups will continue their standard antihypertensive therapies, including at least two medications where one must be a diuretic. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death. Blood pressure measurements will be taken at baseline and at 6 months, among other times. The primary outcome is the time until the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event, with secondary outcomes including changes in blood pressure and other cardiovascular events. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 5 years to monitor these outcomes and overall survival.
