The Phase 3 trials that won approval, and the outcome studies that came afterward on cardiovascular, kidney and sleep-apnea endpoints.
What is KCCQ-CSS (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, Clinical Summary Score)?
The clinical summary score from the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire: a validated, patient-reported measure of heart-failure symptoms and physical limitation.
Scored 0–100, higher is better, and five points is the threshold for clinically meaningful. STEP-HFpEF reported 7.8 points on semaglutide against 2.6 on placebo — the primary endpoint behind the 2024 EMA and FDA filings in HFpEF with obesity.
