๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase3 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Novo Nordisk A/S

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat participants living with heart failure and inflammation.

The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participant's chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study is expected to last for up to 1 year and 4 months.
