What This Trial Is Studying

This study is being conducted to find out how well zenagamtide works and how safe it is compared to insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes who are at higher risk of heart and blood vessel problems and are already taking 1 to 3 diabetes medications. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get zenagamtide, (the treatment being tested) or insulin glargine (a comparator) and which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

Study-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the study, including activities to determine suitability for the study. * Male or female (sex assigned at birth, inclusive of all gender identities). * Age 45 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent. * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) greater than or equal to (≥) 180 days before screening. * Treatment with 1-3 marketed oral glucose-lowering medications (metformin, glinide, thiazolidinedione, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), α-glucosidase inhibitors (AGI), or sulfonylureas (SU) as a single agent or in combination) according to local label. Treatment with oral glucose-lowering medications must be stable (same drug(s), stable daily dose(s)) before screening. * Have HbA1c as determined by central laboratory at screening, if background glucose-lowering medications does not include a SU, or if background glucose-lowering medications includes a SU. * Increased risk of cardiovascular events as evidenced by at least one of the following (a-e): * Prior myocardial infarction (MI) * Documented coronary artery disease defined by at least one of the following: -≥ 50% stenosis of coronary artery on angiography or other imaging modality. * Ischaemia documented by…
