AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with high blood pressure and obesity. They will get CagriSema, semaglutide, cagrilintide or placebo, assigned by chance.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
Women and men (sex at birth)
Disease stage
Resting systolic blood pressure of 140-160 mmHg at screening and at the run-in visit, and body mass index of 30.0 kg/m^2 or more. People with type 2 diabetes can join if diagnosed 90 days or more before screening and HbA1c is 6.5-10.0% (48–86 mmol/mol).
Earlier treatment
People must take no blood pressure medicine or SGLT2 inhibitor, or be on a stable dose for 30 days or more before screening. They cannot have used weight-loss medicine, GLP-1 receptor agonists or amylin agonists within 90 days before screening.
Biomarker or test result
HbA1c 6.5-10.0% (48–86 mmol/mol) for people with type 2 diabetes. Without type 2 diabetes, HbA1c must be below 6.5% (48 mmol/mol).

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Low blood pressure when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)
  • High blood pressure caused by another medical condition (secondary hypertension)
  • Hospital stay for high blood pressure within 90 days before screening
  • Atrial fibrillation at the run-in visit or a history of frequent or long-lasting atrial fibrillation
  • Body weight change of more than 5% within 90 days before screening

Who can take part

  • Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Resting in-office SBP of 140-160 mmHg (both inclusive) at screening (V1-Optional/V1) and the Run-in visit. Systolic blood pressure will be calculated as the mean of the second and third consecutive readings of triplicated blood pressure readings collected at 2-minute intervals with the blood pressure monitor provided by the Sponsor
  • Body mass index greater than or equal to (>=) 30.0 kilograms per metre square (kg/m\^2) at screening
  • Not receiving Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor (SGLT2i) or antihypertensive medication or on stable (i.e., same drug(s), dose and dosing frequency) SGLT2i or antihypertensive treatment >= 30 days prior to screening; For participants with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D); The following inclusion criteria apply at screening in addition to the inclusion criteria listed above:
  • Diagnosed with T2D >= 90 days before screening
  • Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) 6.5-10.0% (48-86 millimoles per mole (mmol/mol)) (both inclusive) as measured by the central laboratory at screening
  • Treatment with either lifestyle intervention only, or treatment with 1-3 marketed oral antidiabetic drugs (metformin, α-glucosidase inhibitors, glinides, SGLT2i or thiazolidinediones, as a single agent or in combination) according to local label
  • Treatment with antidiabetic medication should be stable (i.e., same drug(s), dose and dosing frequency) for at least 90 days before screening

Who cannot take part

  • Hospitalisation within the last 90 days before screening for hypertension or hypertensive crisis
  • A change in body weight greater than (>) 5% within 90 days before screening irrespective of medical records
  • Treatment with any medication prescribed for the indication of obesity or weight management within 90 days before screening
  • Use of any Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1 RA), including medication with GLP-1 RA activity, or amylin agonists, within 90 days before screening; For participants without T2D
  • Known secondary hypertension due to renovascular hypertension (renal artery stenosis), primary aldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, acromegaly, coarctation of the aorta, or any other identifiable cause of secondary hypertension
  • Currently under medical investigation for any cause of secondary hypertension
  • Atrial fibrillation at the Run-in visit or history of frequent intermittent or chronic atrial fibrillation
  • History of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Moderate-to-severe anaemia with Hgb lesser than (<) 10.9 grams per decilitre (g/dL) as measured by the central lab at screening
  • HbA1c greater than or equal to >= 6.5 % (48 mmol/mol) as measured by the central laboratory at screening
  • Known orthostatic hypotension or orthostatic hypotension at screening (V1-Optional/V1)

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This study is testing whether CagriSema is safe and works well in adults with high blood pressure and excess body weight. Participants will receive CagriSema, semaglutide, cagrilintide, or placebo, and treatment will be assigned by chance. CagriSema and cagrilintide are investigational medicines, while semaglutide is already available by prescription.

The 4 groups in the trial

  • CagriSemaTreatment being tested

    Participants will receive CagriSema subcutaneously once weekly.

  • SemaglutideExisting treatment, for comparison

    Participants will receive semaglutide subcutaneously once weekly.

  • CagrilintideExisting treatment, for comparison

    Participants will receive cagrilintide subcutaneously once weekly.

  • PlaceboPlacebo, for comparison

    Participants will receive placebo subcutaneously once weekly.
