Description

Many people living with type 2 diabetes also carry a significantly elevated risk of serious heart events — including heart attack and stroke — particularly when high blood pressure and established cardiovascular disease are also present. Despite current treatments, managing these interconnected risks remains one of the most important challenges in modern medicine.

This clinical study is investigating whether a new investigational medication, taken daily, can help reduce cardiovascular risk in people with this combination of conditions. It works through a mechanism that differs from most existing diabetes and heart medications, offering the potential for a meaningful new treatment option.

As a participant, you will receive the study medication at no cost, regular health monitoring by our experienced clinical team, and reimbursement for your time and travel. All study-related tests and consultations are provided free of charge.

 

Eligibility Checklist

 

  • Type 2 diabetes, currently on treatment
  • High blood pressure, currently on treatment
  • Established cardiovascular disease — such as a prior heart attack, coronary stent or bypass surgery, prior stroke, or significant peripheral vascular disease

Other criteria apply. A member of our team will check if this study is a good fit for you
