NCT ID NCT07456774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This large study looks back at medical records of 100,000 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes to compare heart and kidney outcomes between those taking Ozempic and those on other diabetes drugs. Researchers will track major heart problems, strokes, and kidney events. The goal is to see if Ozempic offers extra protection beyond blood sugar control.
