Researchers are studying a medicine called enlicitide to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). This trial aims to find out if taking enlicitide together with rosuvastatin, a standard cholesterol-lowering drug, works better than a placebo in lowering LDL-C levels. The study is a Phase 3 trial that is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure accurate and unbiased results. Participants will receive oral tablets of enlicitide or placebo along with oral capsules of rosuvastatin or placebo. The study compares the effect of enlicitide plus rosuvastatin against placebo to evaluate their impact on LDL-C. The treatment period lasts 8 weeks, during which participants take their assigned medications as directed. During the study, researchers will measure the average percent change in LDL-C from the start of the trial to week 8. Participants will be monitored for safety and any side effects throughout the study. The total participation time includes screening, treatment, and follow-up assessments to evaluate the medicines' effects and safety in adults aged 18 to 64 with hyperlipidemia.

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.
