What this trial means for you
This study is active, not recruiting — it is not currently taking new participants, but its results may matter for treatments you're considering. It's studying Retatrutide, Placebo for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ascvd), chronic kidney disease (ckd).
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The main purpose of this study is to determine if retatrutide can significantly lower the incidence of serious heart-related complications or prevent the worsening of kidney function. The trial will enroll adults with body mass index 27 kg/m\^2 or higher and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and/or chronic kidney disease. The study will last for about 5 years. Participants will have up to 27 clinic visits with the study doctor.
