Researchers are evaluating how well two new study drugs, CagriSema and cagrilintide, help children and adolescents with excess body weight lose weight. This trial includes participants aged 8 to less than 18 years who have overweight or obesity. The study is designed in two parts: a main study and an extension study. The main study compares CagriSema, cagrilintide, semaglutide (an already approved drug), and placebo, with treatments assigned randomly. Participants receiving semaglutide will not continue to the extension study. The total time in the main study is about 1 year and 6 months, while those in the extension study may participate for up to about 4 years and 10 months. Participants in the main study will receive one of the four treatments by subcutaneous injection. In the extension study, participants will receive either CagriSema or cagrilintide. The study drugs are monitored closely for safety, and participants may experience side effects. The study compares these new treatments to a placebo and an existing approved drug to better understand their effects on weight management in young people. During the study, researchers will measure changes in body mass index (BMI) from baseline to week 68 as the primary outcome. Participants will undergo various assessments including laboratory tests and physical evaluations. The study tracks adherence to treatment and monitors safety throughout the study period. This comprehensive approach aims to provide detailed information about the efficacy and safety of these medications for managing weight in children and adolescents.

This research aims to evaluate how well Debio 4126 maintains insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels at or below the upper limit of normal in adults with acromegaly who have been previously treated with somatostatin analogs. The study is a Phase 3 randomized trial comparing Debio 4126 to a placebo to assess its efficacy and safety. Acromegaly is a condition characterized by excessive growth hormone, and controlling IGF-1 levels is important for managing the disease. Participants will receive either Debio 4126, which is a 12-week extended-release formulation of octreotide given by intramuscular injection, or a placebo injection of mannitol suspension. The study includes a double-blind period where neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. There is also an open-label period where all participants may receive Debio 4126. The treatment schedule involves injections every 12 weeks. During the study, participants will be monitored to measure the percentage who maintain IGF-1 levels at or below the upper limit of normal at week 36. Researchers will assess safety and efficacy through various evaluations including laboratory tests and clinical assessments. The study also requires participants to meet certain health criteria before and during the trial to ensure safety and reliable results. The total study timeline includes these treatment and observation periods as defined by the protocol.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of NNC0487-0111 for treating adults who have excess body weight and type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares NNC0487-0111 with a placebo to see how well it helps participants lose weight. The study focuses on adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at least 180 days before screening, who have a specific range of blood sugar levels (HbA1c between 7-10%). Participants receive treatments as weekly injections under the skin using a pre-filled pen injector (PDS290) applied to the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. They are randomly assigned to receive either NNC0487-0111 or a placebo that looks like the active treatment but contains no medicine. The study treatments are given once a week throughout the trial. During the study, participants are monitored for changes in their body weight from the start of the trial up to week 84. Researchers also assess safety and other health measures. Participants continue their usual treatment with lifestyle changes or certain oral diabetes medications that have been stable before joining. The trial follows them closely to evaluate how the treatment affects their weight and diabetes control over time.

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.
