Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this 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.
