What this study is about

This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg in adult patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) who meet current clinical criteria for semaglutide treatment. A total of 826 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive semaglutide or placebo as an add-on to standard-of-care, starting 3 months before TAVR and continuing for 24 months post-procedure. The primary endpoint is time to first occurrence of a composite of cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke or transient ischemic accident (TIA), and hospitalization for heart failure (HF). The study is event-driven and powered to detect a 20% relative risk reduction in primary outcome events. This trial aims to address the unmet need for medical therapies that improve outcomes in patients with severe AS following TAVR, with potential for direct clinical implementation.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Full registry criteria

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects are eligible to be included in the trial only if all of the following criteria apply: * Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities. Trial-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the trial, including activities to determine suitability for the trial. * Adults (≥18 years) undergoing TAVR for severe AS, and * BMI ≥30 kg/m2, or * BMI 27-30 kg/m2, AND at least one of the following: * Dysglycemia (prediabetes or type 2 diabetes) ≥90 days prior to the day of screening with HbA1c of ≤ 10.0% as measured at the screening visit. * Arterial Hypertension * Hypercholesterolemia * Obstructive sleep apnea * History of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) * History of myocardial infarction * Symptomatic peripheral artery disease (intermittent claudication with ankle-brachial index \<0.85, peripheral arterial revascularization procedure, or amputation due to atherosclerotic disease) Exclusion Criteria: * Treatment with an GLP-1 receptor agonist within the previous 90 days. * Myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or transient ischemic attack within the previous 60 days. * Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularization known on the day of screening. * eGFR \<25 mL/min/1.73 m² or intermittent hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. * Presence of acute pancreatitis within the last 180 days prior to screening. * History or presence of chronic pancreatitis. * Self-reported change in body weight of \>5 kg within 90 days before screening. * Bariatric surgery prior to screening or planned bariatric surgery within the trial time course. * Presence or history of malignant neoplasm within 5 years prior to the day of screening. Basal and squamous cell cancer and any carcinoma in-situ are allowed. * Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or related products. * Participation in any clinical trial of an approved or non-approved device for the treatment of aortic stenosis or obesity within 30 days before screening. * Receipt of any investigational medicinal product within 30 days before screening. * Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method. * Major surgery scheduled for the duration of the trial, affecting walking ability in the opinion of the investigator. * Any disorder, including severe psychiatric disorder, suicidal behavior within 90 days before screening, and suspected drug abuse, which in the investigator´s opinion might jeopardize subject´s safety or compliance with the protocol.

Treatments and study arms

Wegovy ®

Drug

Semaglutide 2.4 mg subcutaneous once-weekly starting 3 months prior TAVR and continued 24 months post-TAVR. During the first 16 weeks, the dose of semaglutide or placebo will be gradually escalated from 0.25 mg once weekly until target dose as an add-on to standard-of-care. The treatment will continue until the 'end of treatment' visit followed by a 8 weeks follow-up period.

Placebo

Drug

Matching placebo subcutaneous once-weekly.

Primary outcomes

CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and hospitalization for HFFrom randomization through 12 and 27 months

From randomization to first occurrence of a composite endpoint consisting of: CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and hospitalization for HF.
