Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multi-center clinical trial conducted at five centers in the Netherlands, comparing semaglutide 2.4 mg with placebo both administered subcutaneous (sc) once-weekly in subjects with severe AS undergoing TAVR with obesity or overweight and CV risk factors. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either semaglutide sc. 2.4 mg or placebo once-weekly as an add-on to standard-of-care.

Interventions:

* Treatment Arm: 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.
* Control Arm: Matching placebo subcutaneous once-weekly.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Arterial Hypertension
* Hypercholesterolemia
* Obstructive sleep apnea

* 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.

* 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.
