ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called ZUPREME 2, is looking at a new medication called petrelintide to see if it can help people who are overweight or obese and have type 2 diabetes. The study will compare different doses of petrelintide with a placebo (a treatment that has no active ingredients) to understand how effective and safe it is for managing these conditions. It is currently not recruiting participants, but the trial will include both men and women aged 65 to 74 who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes for at least six months.
To be eligible for this trial, participants must be treating their diabetes with a stable dose of metformin, with or without another type of diabetes medication, for at least 90 days before joining. Some people may not qualify, such as those who have had serious low blood sugar episodes recently or those who have lost a significant amount of weight recently. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to important research that could improve treatment options for overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes. If you think you might be eligible or are interested in being part of this study, please keep an eye out for when recruitment begins!
