Research Study to Investigate How Well Semaglutide Works in People Living With Heart Failure and Obesity

The KCCQ is a standardized 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies heart failure symptoms (frequency, severity, and recent change), physical limitation, quality of life, and social limitation. The overall summary score and all domains have been independently demonstrated to be valid, reliable, and responsive to clinical change. KCCQ-CSS includes the symptom and physical limitation domains of the KCCQ. Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

Percentage of participants who achieved 20% weight loss (yes/no) from baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 52) is presented. In the reported data, 'Yes' infers percentage of participants who have achieved 20% weight loss whereas 'No' infers percentage of participants who have not achieved 20% weight loss The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

Percentage of participants improving 5 points or more in KCCQ-CSS from baseline to end of treatment is presented. The KCCQ is standardized 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies heart failure symptoms(frequency, severity, and recent change), physical limitation, quality of life, and social limitation. KCCQ-CSS includes the symptom and physical limitation domains of the KCCQ. Scores are transformed to range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. In the reported data, 'Yes' infers percentage of participants who have improved 5 points or more in score whereas 'No' infers percentage of participants who have not improved 5 points or more in score. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

The overall summary score and all domains have been independently demonstrated to be valid, reliable, and responsive to clinical change. KCCQ-CSS includes the symptom and physical limitation domains of the KCCQ while KCCQ-OSS includes the symptom, physical limitation, quality of life, and social limitation domains. Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period.

The patient global impression of status (PGI-S) for KCCQ was used to rate participants' symptoms of heart failure using 4-category ordinal scale (no symptoms, mild, moderate, severe). KCCQ is standardized 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies heart failure symptoms (frequency, severity, and recent change), physical limitation, quality of life, and social limitation. OSS and all domains have been independently demonstrated to be valid, reliable, and responsive to clinical change. KCCQ-CSS includes symptom and physical limitation domains of the KCCQ. Scores are transformed to range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. Outcome measure was evaluated based on data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site. The threshold was defined as mean change in KCCQ-CSS in those participants with one-category improvement in PGI-S from baseline to week 52.

Observed mean change from baseline in 6 minutes walking distance (6MWD) test using PGI-S is evaluated for this outcome measure. The 6MWD is a common test of functional exercise capacity that assesses the distance a participant can walk in 6 minutes. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.

Change waist circumference from baseline (week 0) to end of the treatment (visit 52) presented. Waist circumference is defined as the abdominal circumference located midway between the lower rib margin and the iliac crest. Measurement must be obtained in standing position with a non-stretchable measuring tape and to the nearest cm or inch. The tape should touch the skin but not compress soft tissue and twists in the tape should be avoided. The participant should be asked to breathe normally. The same measuring tape should be used throughout the trial. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period. In-trial period was defined as the uninterrupted time interval from date of randomization to date of last contact with trial site.
