Summary

This trial aims to see if retatrutide can reduce serious heart problems and stop kidney function from getting worse in adults with a high body mass index and heart or kidney disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with obesity (BMI of 27 or higher) who also have heart disease and/or chronic kidney disease. It's not specified who can't join, but typically those with conditions that could interfere with the study or pose a risk to their health are excluded.
What is being tested?
The TRIUMPH-OUTCOMES trial is testing if retatrutide, given once weekly, can reduce serious heart complications or slow down kidney function decline in obese individuals compared to a placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, drugs like retatrutide often cause gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and diarrhea. They may also affect blood sugar levels and potentially cause allergic reactions.
