Could a diabetes drug also mend hearts? new study in kazakhstan investigates
NCT ID NCT07303556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a dual GIP/GLP-1 drug (a type of diabetes medication) in 120 adults in Kazakhstan who have both chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Participants take the drug for 40 weeks and have regular heart tests, blood work, and genetic checks. The goal is to see if the drug improves heart function, blood sugar, and weight, and to understand how genetics affect response.
