Maridebart Cafraglutide in Heart Failure With Preserved or Mildly Reduced Ejection Fraction and Obesity
Testing maridebart cafraglutide with standard care to reduce heart failure events in obese people
📍 University of Alabama Saint Vincent's Birmingham · Birmingham, AL · +39 more US sites · Get directions →
This trial will examine if maridebart cafraglutide as an adjunct to standard of care will lead to a reduction in heart failure (HF) events such as HF hospitalizations and urgent HF visits, cardiovascular (CV) deaths and improvement in HF symptoms in participants with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) who are obese. This is a phase 3, global, multicenter, 2-part trial with a double-blind period and an open-label extension (OLE).

A Research Study to Look at How Well NNC0487-0111 Works Compared to Placebo in People With Heart Failure and Obesity
Testing how well NNC0487-0111 works versus placebo in heart failure with excess body weight
📍 Advanced Cardiovascular, LLC · Alexander City, AL · +39 more US sites · Get directions →
This study is being done to look at the safety and effect of NNC0487-0111 in people with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction (HFmrEF) and excess body weight when compared to placebo. The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating people who have HFpEF or HFmrEF and excess body weight.

Real-world Prospective Study on the Use of Anti-CGRP Drugs in Migraine
Studying real-world results of migraine preventive medicines targeting CGRP
📍 University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine · Miami, FL · Get directions →
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate clinical differences in patients who received preventive treatment with medication targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor: monoclonal antibodies (erenumab, galcanezumab, fremanezumab, eptinezumab) or gepants (rimegepant, atogepant) during a 2-year period observation phase.

Effectiveness and Tolerability of Zavegepant for Acute Migraine Treatment Among Those Using CGRP Targeting Preventive Medications
Testing whether a migraine attack medicine works and is tolerated in people using preventive CGRP
📍 Mayo Clinic in Arizona · Phoenix, AZ · Get directions →
Zavegepant (Zavzpret) is approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in the US. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of zavegepant for the acute treatment of migraine attacks amongst participants who are using calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) migraine preventive treatments.

Interleukine-2 (IL-2) Plus Semaglutide in Alzheimer's Disease
Testing a treatment with IL-2 and semaglutide in people with Alzheimer's
📍 Houston Methodist Research Institute · Houston, TX · Get directions →
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Despite major research efforts, effective treatments that slow or stop disease progression remain limited.

People With Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Ocrelizumab and GLP-1 Agonists
Testing how ocrelizumab and GLP-1 medicines affect disability in multiple sclerosis
📍 Northwestern Memorial Hospital · Chicago, IL · Get directions →
The primary outcome measure is PIRA (progression independent of relapse activity), based primarily on clinical assessment, dichotomized as present or not. For Aim 1, the cohort, patient-derived disability status (PDDS) score, and ambulation score (self-reported) will be the primary endpoints of interest.

📍 University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio · San Antonio, TX · Get directions →
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent major public health concerns in the aging community. Tirzepatide, a novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist recently approved for the treatment of T2DM and obesity has been shown to be effective at reducing weight, improving markers of T2DM control, and improving cardiovascular health.
