About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether maridebart cafraglutide, added to usual heart failure care, can reduce hospital stays, urgent visits, and deaths from heart or blood vessel problems, and improve symptoms. It is for adults with obesity and heart failure whose hearts still pump more than 40% of the blood out with each beat.
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). The trial is event-driven, and Part 1 will conclude when approximately 850 primary endpoint events have occurred.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Age 18 or older.
- Body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight compared with height, of 30 or higher.
- Heart failure diagnosed at least 30 days ago, with symptoms rated NYHA class II–IV.
- Receiving usual treatments for heart failure.
- A heart test within the past 12 months shows a pumping measure called ejection fraction above 40%.
Who can't join
- Certain heart attacks, heart procedures, major heart surgery, or stroke within 60 days before screening or during screening.
- A hospital stay for suddenly worsening heart failure during screening, or heart failure caused by certain heart muscle, heart lining, valve, or birth-related heart problems.
- Diabetes other than type 2 or past pregnancy-related diabetes. For type 2 diabetes, certain blood sugar problems, recent serious diabetes crises, or serious diabetes-related eye disease also exclude people.
- Top blood pressure number of 180 or higher, or above 160 while taking at least three blood pressure medicines.
- Long-term pancreas inflammation, recent sudden pancreas inflammation, liver inflammation, kidney filtering level below 20, or dialysis.
- A personal or close family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN-2, an inherited condition linked to tumors; or a calcitonin blood level of 50 or higher.
- Unstable major depression or another severe mental illness within two years, any past suicide attempt, or self-injury without suicidal intent within five years. Other conditions may also prevent safe participation or study completion.
- Use of GLP-1, GIP, or amylin medicines within 90 days before screening, during screening, or planned during the study.
