Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • Had any of the following cardiovascular diseases in the 2 months prior to the visit: acute myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident (stroke) or hospitalization due to congestive heart failure (CHF).
  • New York Heart Association Classification of Heart Function Class III and Class IV CHF.
  • Have acute or chronic hepatitis, have signs or symptoms of any liver disease other than non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), or have alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels > 3.0 times the upper limit of the normal range determined by the central laboratory at visit 1;For NAFLD patients, only ALT levels ≤ 3.0 times the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) were eligible for this trial.
  • The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation（CKD-EPI）formula was less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, as determined by the central laboratory at visit 1.
  • The researchers suggest that there is evidence of significant, poorly controlled endocrine abnormalities, such as thyrotoxicosis or adrenal crisis.
  • Family or personal history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or type 2 multiple endocrine tumor syndrome.
  • Serum calcitonin level ≥ 35 ng/L (pg/mL) was determined by the central laboratory at visit 1.
  • There was significant evidence of active autoimmune abnormalities (e.g., lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) and the investigators suggested that systemic glucocorticoid therapy might be required in the following 12 months.

  • Presence of any other medical history (e.g., known drug or alcohol abuse or mental illness) that the investigator considered would have prevented the patient from complying with and completing the study protocol.
  • Presence of any blood disorders that may interfere with HbA1c measurements (e.g., hemolytic anemia, sickle cell disease).
