Do you suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease, as well as Type 2 Diabetes?
This clinical research study is evaluating an experimental treatment for people with Chronic Kidney Disease, who also suffer from Type 2 Diabetes. The study will compare the effectiveness of CagriSema (an investigational medication), to semaglutide, cagrilintide and placebo.
Would you like to take part?
As a volunteer in a research study, you’ll receive study-related medical care from the study doctor and regular follow-up of your health to monitor the effectiveness of the care you’ll receive. The results of this research will be used to find out if the investigational medication being studied will be of benefit to others with chronic kidney disease, and whether it will be made widely available to all Canadians. Study volunteers are an important part of moving medical care forward.
