About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron compared with oral semaglutide in adults with T2DM and increased cardiovascular risk that is inadequately managed alone or on stable treatment with other background glucose-lowering medication(s).

Increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events defined by ≥1 of: documented coronary heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, or heart failure (NYHA II-III); or ≥2 CV risk factors

Disqualifiers
