Researchers are studying a medicine called enlicitide to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). This trial aims to find out if taking enlicitide together with rosuvastatin, a standard cholesterol-lowering drug, works better than a placebo in lowering LDL-C levels. The study is a Phase 3 trial that is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure accurate and unbiased results. Participants will receive oral tablets of enlicitide or placebo along with oral capsules of rosuvastatin or placebo. The study compares the effect of enlicitide plus rosuvastatin against placebo to evaluate their impact on LDL-C. The treatment period lasts 8 weeks, during which participants take their assigned medications as directed. During the study, researchers will measure the average percent change in LDL-C from the start of the trial to week 8. Participants will be monitored for safety and any side effects throughout the study. The total participation time includes screening, treatment, and follow-up assessments to evaluate the medicines' effects and safety in adults aged 18 to 64 with hyperlipidemia.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection, in adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to see how well weekly insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily insulin glargine when both are combined with insulin aspart. This phase 3 study will last about 26 weeks, or roughly 8.5 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec or insulin glargine, both given as subcutaneous injections. All participants will also use insulin aspart as a subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two insulin regimens to assess their effects on blood sugar control over the 26-week period. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from the start of the study to week 26. Participants will follow the study protocol including self-measured plasma glucose profiles. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated throughout the treatment period to understand the impact of the insulin regimens on blood sugar control and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating how well the approved weekly injectable insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily injectable basal insulins in adults with type 2 diabetes. This Phase 4 study focuses on people who need to start basal insulin treatment and have had type 2 diabetes for at least 180 days. The goal is to understand the effectiveness of once-weekly insulin icodec against standard daily basal insulins in real-world clinical practice over about 13 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec once a week or one of the daily basal insulin analogues, such as insulin glargine, insulin detemir, or insulin degludec. Both treatments are given by subcutaneous injection. The choice between weekly or daily insulin is based on current treatment standards for type 2 diabetes. The study lasts approximately 52 weeks, during which participants maintain their assigned insulin regimen. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in participants' blood sugar control using the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test from the start until week 52. Participants will have their HbA1c measured within 90 days before starting the treatment. Safety and any reactions to the insulin will also be tracked. The study aims to assess how well the weekly insulin icodec works compared to daily basal insulins in managing blood sugar over a year.

Researchers are studying the safety and effects of an investigational medicine called PF-08653944 in adults who are overweight or have obesity along with type 2 diabetes. This condition involves carrying too much body weight and having high blood sugar levels. The study is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized placebo-controlled trial that aims to evaluate the medicine's ability to help with weight loss and monitor its safety. Participants will receive either the study medicine or a placebo by weekly injections under the skin in the belly area. About two-thirds of participants will get the study medicine, while one-third will receive the placebo. Participants will be trained to administer the injections themselves at home. The study will last about 21 months and includes up to 14 visits to the study site and 5 phone calls. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through visits and phone contacts. Researchers will measure changes in body weight from the start to week 64 to evaluate effectiveness. The study will also include assessments of safety and treatment effects over the entire duration. Participants need to perform finger-stick glucose monitoring as required and follow the study procedures throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of once-weekly injectable MET097 in adults who have obesity or are overweight with related weight complications, but who do not have type 2 diabetes. This phase 3, multi-center randomized controlled trial aims to understand how well MET097 works and how safe it is over a long period. The study will last 84 weeks, with the primary effectiveness measured after 64 weeks of treatment. Participants will receive either MET097 or a placebo, both given once a week by subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two groups to assess the impact of MET097 on weight and related health issues. The treatment period is followed by continued monitoring to evaluate longer-term effects up to 84 weeks. During the study, participants' body weight changes will be carefully tracked from the start through week 64, which is the main outcome measure. Additional health assessments will occur through the 84-week duration to monitor safety and overall responses. Participants will be supported and monitored regularly to assess the medication's impact and any side effects throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of baxdrostat combined 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 systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg at screening, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. This Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven study aims to determine if the combination reduces the risk of heart failure events or cardiovascular death, with follow-up lasting up to 38 months. Participants who meet screening criteria but are not currently treated with SGLT2 inhibitors or have been treated for less than 4 weeks will enter a run-in period receiving dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 4 to 6 weeks before randomization. The study involves random assignment to either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin. Site visits occur at approximately 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months. Participants discontinuing the blinded study drug may continue open-label dapagliflozin, with ongoing visits and data collection as per protocol. Participants will undergo an optional pre-screening period without site visits or consent to help identify eligibility, followed by up to 14 days of formal screening after informed consent. Researchers will monitor heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths as primary outcomes. Safety and adherence will be tracked throughout the study, including during any premature discontinuation of blinded treatment. The study will conclude when a predetermined number of secondary endpoint events have occurred, with continued follow-up as needed.

Researchers are evaluating whether the drug zilebesiran can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as cardiovascular death, nonfatal heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure in adults who have hypertension that is not well controlled and who either have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for it. This Phase 3 global study is designed to continue until enough cardiovascular events have occurred to assess the treatment's effect. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either zilebesiran or a placebo, both given as injections under the skin (subcutaneous administration). All participants will continue with their standard care, which includes treatment with at least two antihypertensive medications, one of which must be a diuretic such as a thiazide or loop diuretic. The study is double-blind, so neither participants nor researchers know who is receiving the active drug or placebo. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular deaths over approximately five years. Researchers will collect data on these events to determine the time until the first occurrence of any of these outcomes. Safety assessments and standard clinical evaluations will also be performed throughout the study period to ensure participant well-being.
