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.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of balcinrenone combined with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in patients who have chronic heart failure, impaired kidney function, and have recently experienced a heart failure event. This Phase III study is conducted internationally across about 700 sites and aims to assess how these treatments impact cardiovascular death and heart failure events. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups balcinrenonedapagliflozin 15 mg10 mg plus placebo, balcinrenonedapagliflozin 40 mg10 mg plus placebo, or dapagliflozin 10 mg plus placebo. Each participant will take one capsule and one tablet daily. The study duration averages 22 months, including screening, about 20 months of blinded treatment, and a one-month follow-up with open-label dapagliflozin. During the study, participants will undergo assessments for heart failure events, hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death. Researchers will monitor these outcomes over about 38 months, including symptom scores and other health measures. Safety and treatment effects will be followed during the treatment and the one-month post-treatment period.
