About this trial
This study is being conducted to find out how well zenagamtide works and how safe it is compared to insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes who are at higher risk of heart and blood vessel problems and are already taking 1 to 3 diabetes medications. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get zenagamtide, (the treatment being tested) or insulin glargine (a comparator) and which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

Treatments tested in this trial
Zenagamtide
DrugZenagamtide will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm (administration to the same body part throughout the study).
Insulin glargine U-100
DrugInsulin glargine U-100 will be administered subcutaneously using SoloSTAR pen-injector to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm (rotation of the injection site within body parts).
