Cardiovascular Study
This is a 24 Week Study in Omaha, Nebraska
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, associated with poor functional capacity and significantly impaired quality of life, affecting an estimated 64 million people worldwide.
Both Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension are recognized as independent risk factors for the development of heart failure. The natural history of Type 2 Diabetes with established Cardiovascular disease involves a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, stroke and death from cardiovascular causes, due to the chronic hyperglycaemic state and state and associated metabolic disturbances.
The purpose of this study is to learn if the research drug, Vicadrostat, reduces Cardiovascular risk and prevents heart failure in participants with Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and established Cardiovascular Disease. During this research study, some people will take the research drug and some will take placebo.
