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 the safety and effectiveness of NNC0487-0111 for adults with excess body weight and type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares NNC0487-0111 with a placebo to see how well the medicine helps reduce body weight when taken along with diet and exercise changes. Participants have type 2 diabetes for at least six months and meet specific health criteria to join the study. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of four different doses of NNC0487-0111 or a placebo. Each treatment is given as a weekly injection under the skin using a pre-filled pen injector, targeting areas like the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. All participants follow a reduced-calorie diet and increase physical activity during the study. The main treatment period lasts 84 weeks, with body weight and other health measures tracked throughout. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to check blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and other health markers. Researchers will also monitor waist size, blood pressure, and quality of life related to physical function. Safety is carefully watched by tracking any side effects or adverse events until 88 weeks. Overall, participants are involved in frequent visits and health evaluations to measure treatment impact and safety over nearly two years.

Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab, a new medicine not yet approved anywhere, to see if it can help people who were hospitalized due to a heart attack. The study aims to find out if ziltivekimab can reduce the development of heart disease and prevent future heart attacks or strokes. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial comparing ziltivekimab to a placebo in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Participants will receive an initial loading dose of ziltivekimab or matching placebo by injection under the skin as soon as possible after an invasive heart procedure, within 36 hours for STEMI or 48 hours for NSTEMI patients. After the loading dose, they will get monthly injections of the same study medicine for up to two years, in addition to their standard care. During the study, participants will be monitored for major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death. Researchers will also track other heart-related outcomes and safety measures over a period of up to 25 months. The study involves regular visits for injections, assessments, and laboratory tests to evaluate the medicines effects and patient health throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of muvalaplin in lowering cardiovascular risks among adults with elevated lipoproteina who either have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a first heart attack or stroke. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to investigate whether muvalaplin can reduce major adverse cardiovascular events compared to placebo in this high-risk population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either muvalaplin or a placebo, both given orally. The study is designed with parallel groups and will last about 5.25 years, during which the occurrence of cardiovascular events and changes in lipoproteina levels will be closely monitored. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including measurement of lipoproteina levels, monitoring of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes, and evaluation of healthcare resource use. The primary outcome is the time to first major adverse cardiac event, tracked from baseline until the study ends. Safety and pharmacokinetics of muvalaplin will also be evaluated during the trial period.
