- Original description
This clinical study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of zenagamtide in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and excess body weight compared with placebo. The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if zenagamtide is safe and effective for treating people who have ASCVD and excess body weight. Participants will be randomly assigned by chance to receive either zenagamtide, the investigational treatment being tested, or a placebo, which contains no active medicine. Half of the participants will receive zenagamtide, and treatment assignment will be determined randomly. Zenagamtide is a new investigational medicine that is not yet available for prescription by doctors.Read full original descriptionShow less
Zenagamtide Use for the Reduction of Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in People With Established Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and Either Overweight or Obesity
This clinical study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of zenagamtide in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and excess body weight compared with placebo. The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if zenagamtide is safe and effective for treating people who have ASCVD and excess body weight. Participants will be randomly assigned by chance to receive either zenagamtide, the investigational treatment being tested, or a placebo, which contains no active medicine. Half of the participants will receive zenagamtide, and treatment assignment will be determined randomly. Zenagamtide is a new investigational medicine that is not yet available for prescription by doctors.
Inclusion: Established ASCVD is defined as at least one of the below conditions (a-c):; Prior myocardial infarction (MI) b. Symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) defined as at least one of the following: i. Intermittent claudication with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) less than (<) 0.85 at rest ii. Lower extremity amputation at or above ankle due to atherosclerotic disease (excluding e.g. trauma or osteomyelitis) c. Cerebrovascular disease defined as the following: i. Prior stroke; Participants with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) (at screening) are allowed in the study with the following provisions:; Treatment should be stable for greater than or equal to (≥) 90 days before screening as assessed by the investigator; Glucose lowering agents are permitted according to local label except glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and amylin analogues; for insulins, only basal insulin is allowed.
Exclusion: MI, stroke, unstable angina pectoris, or worsening heart failure (HF) leading to either hospitalization or intravenous loop diuretics within 30 days prior to the day of screening and until randomization; Coronary, carotid, or peripheral artery revascularization or percutaneous valve repair or replacement within 30 days prior to the day of screening or planned during the study period and known at screening; General health and safety:; Treatment with any GLP-1 RA, GIP RA or amylin analogue for any indication before screening; Chronic heart failure classified at screening; Glycaemia-related:; Recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year as judged by the investigator; Known history of hypoglycaemia unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarke's questionnaire question 8; History of type 1 diabetes (T1D); Participant with diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy who received treatment with retinal photocoagulation, vitrectomy or anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) within 180 days before screening or who, at the time of screening, are expected to require treatment within 180 days after screening. Diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy must be verified by an eye examination performed within 90 days before screening or in the period between screening and randomization.
