Inclusion criteria

* Have a body mass index (BMI) ≥27.0 kilogram/square meter (kg/m ²) * Are either * individuals ≥40 years of age with established cardiovascular disease (CVD). * CVD is defined as meeting at least one of the following: * Coronary artery disease * Cerebrovascular disease * Peripheral arterial disease OR * individuals without established CVD but have the presence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (primary prevention) * women 55-69 years of age or men 50-64 years of age with at least 3 risk factors like tobacco use, dyslipidemia, hypertension at screening, or * women ≥70 years of age or men, ≥65 years of age with at least 2 risk factors at screening.

Exclusion criteria

* Have type 1 diabetes (T1D) or (T2D), history of ketoacidosis, or hyperosmolar state/coma * Have laboratory evidence diagnostic of diabetes mellitus at screening of HbA1c ≥6.5% (≥48 millimole/mole (mmol/mol) or fasting glucose (FG) ≥126 milligram/deciliter (≥7.0 millimole/liter (mmol/L). * Any one of the following CV conditions within 90 days prior to screening * MI * acute coronary syndrome * stroke * coronary or peripheral arterial revascularization procedure, which may also include carotid artery revascularization, or * acute decompensated heart failure * Have a known clinically significant gastric emptying abnormality such as severe gastroparesis or gastric outlet obstruction or have undergone or currently planning any gastric bypass (metabolic) surgery or restrictive bariatric surgery. Note: Liposuction or abdominoplasty are not considered as gastric bypass procedures. * Have a history of chronic or acute pancreatitis * Have a family or personal history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. * Have acute or chronic hepatitis, or clinical signs or symptoms of any other liver disease, or have elevated liver enzyme measurements, determined by the central laboratory at screening * Have a presence or history of malignant neoplasms within the past 5 years prior to screening.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to First Occurrence of Any Component Event of Composite (All-Cause Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), Nonfatal Stroke, Coronary Revascularization, or Heart Failure Events)Up to 5 YearsTime to first occurrence of any component event of composite, all-cause death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, coronary revascularization, or heart failure events that results in hospitalization or urgent visits.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)Up to 5 YearsIn participants with high or very high risk chronic kidney disease
Time to First Occurrence of Any Component Event of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events-3 (MACE-3) (CV Death, Nonfatal MI or Nonfatal Stroke)Up to 5 YearsTime to first occurrence of any component event of MACE-3 (CV death, nonfatal MI or nonfatal stroke)
Mean Change from Baseline Short Form-36 Version 2 (SF-36 v2) Acute Form Physical Functioning Domain ScoreBaseline, 2 YearsThe SF-36 v2 acute, 1-week recall version is a 36-item generic, participant-administered measure designed to assess the following 8 domains (Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role - Emotional, and Mental Health. Each domain is scored individually and further aggregated into 2 health component summary scores, physical component and mental component summary. Scoring of each domain and both summary scores are norm-based and presented in the form of T-scores, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health.
Time to the Occurrence of All-cause DeathUp to 5 Years
Time to First Occurrence of CV DeathUp to 5 Years
Time to First Occurrence of MIUp to 5 Years
Time to First Occurrence of StrokeUp to 5 Years
Time to First Occurrence of Coronary RevascularizationUp to 5 Years
Time to Onset of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)Up to 5 Years
Time to First Occurrence of Hospitalization for Unstable AnginaUp to 5 Years
Time to first occurrence of Hospitalization or Urgent VisitUp to 5 YearsTime to first occurrence of hospitalization or urgent visit due to atrial fibrillation, or cardioversion or ablation for atrial fibrillation
Time to First Occurrence of Any Component Event of the Composite Endpoint (eGFR, ESRD, or Renal Death)Up to 5 YearsTime to first occurrence of any component event of the composite endpoint ≥40% sustained decline in eGFR, ESRD, or renal death.
Percent Change from Baseline in Body WeightBaseline, 156 Weeks
Change from Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) in Millimeter Mercury (mmHg)Baseline, 156 Weeks
Change from Baseline Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) (mmHg)Baseline, 156 Weeks
Percentage of Participants with Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <39 Millimole/Mole (mmol/mol) (5.7%)Up to 5 YearsPercentage of participants with HbA1c \<39 mmol/mol (5.7%) at each time where HbA1c is assessed for participants with a screening HbA1c ≥39 mmol/mol.
Time to First Occurrence of Any Component Event of Composite Endpoint (All-Cause Death, Nonfatal MI, Nonfatal Stroke, Coronary Revascularization, Heart Failure Events, > 40% Sustained Decline in eGFR, or End Stage Renal Disease)Up to 5 YearsIn participants with prediabetes
Time to First Occurrence Heart Failure (HF) EventsUp to 5 YearsTime to first occurrence heart failure (HF) events that result in hospitalization or urgent visits
