  • Age ≥ 45 years at screening.
  • BMI of ≥ 27 kg/m2 at screening.
  • History of ASCVD with a documented history of at least one of the following: - Prior MI (presumed atherothrombiotic event due to plaque rupture/erosion) - Prior ischemic stroke (presumed due to atherosclerosis; may include ischemic stroke with hemorrhagic transformation) - Symptomatic PAD, as evidenced by intermittent claudication with ABI < 0.9 (at rest), or peripheral arterial revascularization procedure, or amputation due to atherosclerotic disease

You likely can't join if

  • Use within 90 days before randomization of medications that may cause significant weight gain in the judgement of the investigator.
  • Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 90 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) prior to randomization since ending treatment in another investigational device or drug study(ies). This does not apply to other investigational procedures or participation in observational research studies.
  • For participants with T2DM (including those without a prior history of T2DM but with a HbA1c ≥ 6.5% during screening): - HbA1c > 10.0% (86 mmol/mol) at screening - Uncontrolled diabetes requiring immediate therapy at randomization in the judgement of the investigator - History of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar state/coma within 12 months before randomization - One or more episodes of severe hypoglycemia within 6 months before randomization and/or history of hypoglycemia unawareness - History of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, diabetic maculopathy, or severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ,or currently receiving or planning to receive treatment for diabetic retinopathy and/or diabetic macular edema (for example, laser photocoagulation or intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors).
  • Previous or ongoing participation in a study that includes maridebart cafraglutide or AMG 598
  • Participants of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening and/or day 1 before randomization.
