Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of maridebart cafraglutide, given alongside standard care, in reducing heart failure events such as hospitalizations, urgent visits, cardiovascular deaths, and improving symptoms in people with heart failure who have preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and are obese. This is a global phase 3, multicenter trial with a two-part design including a double-blind period followed by an open-label extension. The first part will end once around 850 key events have been recorded. Participants will receive either maridebart cafraglutide or a placebo, both administered by injection under the skin. The study includes an initial randomized, double-blind phase and a later open-label extension where all participants may receive the active treatment. The trial is designed to monitor participants over time to assess the safety and effects of the treatment compared to placebo. During the trial, participants will undergo assessments including monitoring for cardiovascular events, heart failure symptoms, and laboratory tests such as NT-proBNP levels. Researchers will track time until the first occurrence of cardiovascular death or heart failure events over approximately 35 months. Safety evaluations, adherence to treatment, and ongoing health status will be followed throughout the study period.
