Groups2
Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Semaglutide 2.4 mg | Participants with obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m\^2) related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction received semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly by subcutaneous injection (in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm). Participants initially received 0.25 mg of semaglutide. The dose was then escalated every fourth week with increments of 0.25 mg for 16 weeks until the target dose of 2.4 mg was reached. The treatment period was 52 weeks. | 3 | 263 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo | Participants with obesity (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m\^2) related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction received placebo once weekly by subcutaneous injection (in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm) for 52 weeks. The dose escalation and maintenance of placebo matched that of semaglutide. | 4 | 266 | EG001 |
