Clinical Trial Summary

A Phase 2b, study to measure the effect of Cotadutide at different doses versus placebo or comparator (semaglutide) in participants who have Chronic Kidney Disease with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Description:

A Phase 2b randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled and open-label active comparator study to evaluate the effect of Cotadutide at 100, 300 or 600 micrograms in participants who have Chronic Kidney Disease with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The study plans to randomise approximately 225 subjects. Subjects will be randomised to receive double-blind Cotadutide or placebo at 100, 300 or 600 micrograms once daily for 26 weeks, or open-label semaglutide at 1.0 miligrams once a week for 26 weeks. Japanese participants will not be randomised to the semaglutide arm.
