Researchers are evaluating the effects of enicepatide, a dual GLP-1GIP receptor agonist, at multiple doses compared with placebo for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight who do not have Type 2 diabetes. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind study aims to assess both the efficacy and safety of once-weekly enicepatide in this population, addressing weight-related comorbidities such as prediabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either placebo or one of three enicepatide dosing regimens, administered once weekly via an integrated drug-device combination product. The treatment phase lasts through 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures are monitored. The study includes multiple assessments to track body weight percentage change, waist circumference, fasting glucose and insulin levels, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and quality of life measures. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including physical examinations, laboratory tests, and questionnaires related to physical functioning and urinary incontinence. Researchers will monitor adverse events, patient-reported health questionnaires, and biomarkers at baseline and weekly intervals through week 72. This long-term follow-up allows for a comprehensive assessment of treatment effects and safety in participants managing obesity or overweight without Type 2 diabetes.

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 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 the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron compared with placebo in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus T2DM who are already being treated with insulin and other glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study focuses on adults with T2DM who have had the condition for at least 90 days and meet certain health criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups elecoglipron at dose level 1, elecoglipron at dose level 2, or placebo. All treatments are taken orally once daily. The study treatment period lasts up to 40 weeks, during which participants continue their background insulin and glucose-lowering medications. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor changes in blood sugar control, including Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c, body weight, blood pressure, and insulin dose. Researchers will also track safety, side effects, and tolerability. The main outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 40. Overall, participation involves visits for monitoring and evaluations over approximately 40 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new medicine called CagriSema in helping adults living with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes, to lose weight. This phase 3 clinical study compares two different weekly doses of CagriSema against an existing medicine, semaglutide. The study aims to understand how well these treatments support weight loss over a long period. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments CagriSema at dose level 1, CagriSema at dose level 2, or semaglutide. Each treatment is given by weekly injection under the skin for 72 weeks. The study lasts about 83 weeks, covering treatment and follow-up periods to observe effects and safety. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor body weight, body mass index BMI, waist size, cholesterol levels, blood sugar control HbA1c, and quality of life. Researchers will track changes from the start of treatment to the end of 72 weeks, including weight loss milestones and health measurements. Safety will also be closely monitored through reports of any adverse events until the study ends.

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 evaluating how well brenipatide LY3537031 is tolerated, its side effects, and its safety and effectiveness in adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation IBS-C. This Phase 2 study compares brenipatide given under the skin with a placebo to better understand its impact on IBS-C symptoms. The trial is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and lasts about 35 weeks. Participants will receive either brenipatide or a placebo, both administered subcutaneously. The study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with parallel groups. Treatment effects will be measured primarily between weeks 9 and 16, focusing on the weekly composite clinical response. Secondary outcomes include abdominal pain and bowel movement responses during the same period. During the study, participants will be monitored for safety and symptom changes. They will record abdominal pain scores daily and bowel habits using a stool form scale. Researchers will review these data along with other health assessments to evaluate the study drugs effects. The total participation duration is approximately 35 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of brenipatide LY3537031 in adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Diarrhea IBS-D. The study compares brenipatide administered under the skin with a placebo to understand its impact on this condition. This Phase 2 clinical trial involves participants aged 18 to 75 years. Participants will receive either the study drug brenipatide or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study follows a randomized, double-blind design where neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. Treatment and placebo administrations occur during the trial, which lasts approximately 35 weeks. During the study, participants will be monitored for how well they tolerate the drug and any side effects. Researchers will collect daily data on abdominal pain and stool consistency using an eDiary, focusing on responses between weeks 9 and 24. The primary measure is the percentage of participants achieving a daily composite response for at least half the days between weeks 9 and 16. Safety and efficacy outcomes are tracked throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide alongside standard care compared to a placebo plus standard care in adult participants with major depressive disorder. This study aims to see if brenipatide can delay the return of major depressive symptoms. It is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participants receive brenipatide or placebo through subcutaneous injections combined with their regular treatment. The study includes three periods a screening period lasting about 1 month, a treatment period of at least 12 months, and a follow-up period of about 2 months. The study duration may be shortened if depressive symptoms worsen or if participants withdraw. During the trial, participants will attend regular visits where various assessments will be conducted, including depression rating scales, functional impairment scores, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor body weight changes, anxiety levels, and blood samples to measure drug levels and immune responses. The primary outcome is the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms. Safety and adherence to self-injection and study procedures will be closely followed throughout participation.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of eloralintide in adults who are obese or overweight but do not have type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 trial aims to understand how eloralintide affects body weight and related health measures over a long period. The study includes a main phase and an extension phase for those with prediabetes to evaluate ongoing effects. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of four doses of eloralintide or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The main phase lasts about 75 weeks, and participants with prediabetes may continue in an extension phase for an additional two years. This structure allows researchers to assess both short-term and longer-term outcomes. During the study, participants will have regular visits to measure body weight, body fat, waist size, blood pressure, blood markers like triglycerides and insulin, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety and treatment effects are monitored throughout. The main outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start to week 64, with follow-up continuing up to week 191 for some. Overall participation can last up to several years depending on the participants health status.
