Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a study drug called elecoglipron compared with oral semaglutide in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus T2DM who have an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The study focuses on adults whose diabetes is not adequately controlled by lifestyle changes or stable treatment with other glucose-lowering medications. This is a phase III randomized trial sponsored by AstraZeneca, aiming to compare these two oral medications in managing T2DM and cardiovascular risk. Participants will be assigned to receive either elecoglipron or semaglutide, both administered orally once daily at specified doses. The study runs in parallel groups, with one group receiving elecoglipron and the other receiving semaglutide. Treatment and observation will continue for 52 weeks, during which the effects on blood sugar control and other health indicators will be evaluated. Throughout the 52-week study period, participants will undergo regular assessments including measurements of Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c, body weight, and blood pressure. Researchers will monitor changes from baseline to week 52 to understand the drugs impact on diabetes control and cardiovascular risk factors. The study also tracks safety and tolerability to ensure participant wellbeing during the trial.

This research aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for adults with excess body weight. The study compares this medicine to a placebo in people who have a history of unsuccessful attempts to lose weight through diet. It is a phase 3 clinical trial that evaluates treatment for obesity, focusing on weight loss and related health measures. Participants receive weekly injections under the skin with either NNC0487-0111 at one of four dose levels or a placebo. These injections are given using pre-filled pen-injectors to the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. All participants follow a reduced-calorie diet and increase physical activity during the study. The trial lasts up to 136 weeks, with treatment and follow-up periods designed to assess long-term effects. Throughout the study, participants attend regular visits where researchers measure changes in body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and quality of life scores. Safety is monitored by tracking any adverse events during and after treatment. The main outcome is the relative change in body weight from the start of the study to week 84, with continued observation up to week 136. Participants remain under medical supervision throughout the trial.
