Study Summary

This trial will test if CagriSema can lower kidney damage in people with CKD, T2D and obesity, compared to existing medicines and a placebo.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, and a BMI of at least 27 can join this study. They must have some kidney function left (eGFR ≥15 to <90), not be on dialysis, and have been treated with specific blood pressure meds for at least a month. Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing CagriSema against Semaglutide, Cagrilintide, and placebo in reducing kidney damage for people with CKD and T2D who are overweight. Treatments are assigned randomly like flipping a coin, and neither participants nor doctors know which one they get.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea due to the nature of these medications affecting glucose metabolism but will vary based on individual reactions.
