Maridebart Cafraglutide Versus Semaglutide in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes (MARITIME-T2D-3)

November 3, 2026 updated by: Amgen

A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Maridebart Cafraglutide Once Monthly Versus Semaglutide Once Weekly as Add-on Therapy to Metformin With or Without a Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate whether maridebart cafraglutide is non-inferior to semaglutide in improving glycemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who are receiving metformin treatment, with or without a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • HbA1c of ≥ 7.5% (58.0 millimoles per mole (mmol/mol)) and ≤ 10.5% (91.0 mmol/mol) at screening.
  • Treatment of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) with metformin (≥ 1500 milligrams per day (mg/day), or maximum tolerated dose as per investigator judgment) with or without an sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor on a stable total daily dose for at least 90 days prior to randomization.
  • Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m^2) at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), history of ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar state/coma, or any other type of diabetes mellitus except T2D or past history of gestational diabetes.

  • Participants who are currently receiving or planning to receive treatment for diabetic retinopathy and/or macular edema.

  • Participants who have a diagnosis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, diabetic maculopathy, or severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

  • One or more episode of severe hypoglycemia (Level 3 hypoglycemia) within 180 days before screening, as defined by the occurrence of neuroglycopenic symptoms requiring the assistance of another person for recovery.

  • History of hypoglycemia unawareness or poor recognition of hypoglycemic symptoms.

  • Self-reported change in body weight > 5% within 90 days before screening. Participants must also agree to not initiate an intensive diet or exercise program during the trial with the intent of reducing body weight, other than the lifestyle and/or dietary measures for diabetes treatment.

  • Previous or planned (during the trial) surgical, endoscopic, or device-based treatment for obesity. The following are allowed:

    • liposuction and/or abdominoplasty that was performed > 1 year before screening.
    • laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, intragastric balloon, and/or duodenal-jejunal bypass liner or gastric sleeve if removed > 1 year before screening.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications. Further details are available at the URL below.
