Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of eloralintide in adults who are obese or overweight but do not have type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 trial aims to understand how eloralintide affects body weight and related health measures over a long period. The study includes a main phase and an extension phase for those with prediabetes to evaluate ongoing effects. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of four doses of eloralintide or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The main phase lasts about 75 weeks, and participants with prediabetes may continue in an extension phase for an additional two years. This structure allows researchers to assess both short-term and longer-term outcomes. During the study, participants will have regular visits to measure body weight, body fat, waist size, blood pressure, blood markers like triglycerides and insulin, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety and treatment effects are monitored throughout. The main outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start to week 64, with follow-up continuing up to week 191 for some. Overall participation can last up to several years depending on the participants health status.

Researchers are evaluating LY3457263 compared with a placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes who have not reached their hemoglobin A1c HbA1c goal despite being on stable doses of semaglutide or tirzepatide. This Phase 2, double-blind study focuses on measuring changes in HbA1c levels. Participation in the trial lasts about nine months, aiming to provide insights into treatment effects in this specific patient group. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of three doses of LY3457263 or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study uses a parallel-group design where each participant receives only one assigned treatment. The trial compares these treatments over a 24-week period to assess their impact on blood sugar control and body weight. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including blood tests to measure HbA1c and fasting serum glucose, as well as body weight measurements. These evaluations occur at baseline and at 24 weeks. The study team will monitor participants health and treatment effects throughout the trial, which is expected to last about nine months in total.

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 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.

This research evaluates the effects of ribupatide KAI-9531 given as a weekly subcutaneous injection compared to a placebo. It focuses on adults living with obesity or overweight who also have weight-related health issues but do not have diabetes. The study aims to understand how ribupatide influences body weight changes over time. Participants are randomly assigned to one of several groups receiving different doses of ribupatide once weekly or a matching placebo injection once weekly. The study is double-blind, so neither participants nor researchers know who receives the drug or placebo. Dosages range from Dose 1 to Dose 4, and the treatment period lasts up to 76 weeks. During the study, participants will have their body weight and various health indicators measured, including waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood glucose, and quality of life related to weight. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events and immune responses to the drug. The trial spans over approximately 76 weeks, with assessments at baseline and week 76 to evaluate changes and effects.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilebesiran to standard antihypertensive treatment can reduce major cardiovascular events in adults with hypertension that is not well controlled and who either have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for it. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to determine if zilebesiran lowers the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure events compared to placebo. The study will continue until a targeted number of these events have occurred, which may take up to about 5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 300 mg of zilebesiran or a placebo, both given as subcutaneous injections every 6 months, alongside their usual blood pressure medications. The study uses a parallel design and includes careful monitoring of blood pressure and cardiovascular events over time. Both groups will continue their standard antihypertensive therapies, including at least two medications where one must be a diuretic. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death. Blood pressure measurements will be taken at baseline and at 6 months, among other times. The primary outcome is the time until the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event, with secondary outcomes including changes in blood pressure and other cardiovascular events. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 5 years to monitor these outcomes and overall survival.
