Trial Outcomes & Findings for Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) (NCT NCT00000620)

NCT ID: NCT00000620

Last Updated: 2016-11-22

Results Overview

Time to first occurrence of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death. This was the primary outcome measure in all three trials: Glycemia (all participants), Blood Pressure (subgroup of participants not in Lipid Trial), and Lipid (subgroup of participants not in Blood Pressure Trial). In the Glycemia Trial, a finding of higher mortality in the intensive arm group led to an early discontinuation of therapy after a mean of 3.5 years of follow-up. Intensive arm participants were transitioned to standard arm strategy over a period of 0.2 year and followed for an additional 1.2 years to the planned end of the Glycemia Trial while participating in one of the other sub-trials (BP or Lipid) to their planned completion.

Participant Flow

All participants had established type 2 diabetes and were recruited from 77 clinical centers in the United States (64 sites) and Canada (13 sites). Recruitment occurred in two phases, from January to June 2001 and from February 2003 to October 2005.

Eligible participants provided evidence of ability to routinely monitor capillary blood sugars from written records or electronic downloads from a self-monitoring blood glucose device (SMBG), or (in cases where such records could not be provided) underwent a 2 to 4-week pre-randomization run-in period to evaluate compliance with SMBG monitoring.

Timeframe: 4.9 years

Population: The population analyzed included all participants randomized and was performed by intention to treat with right-censoring of participants who did not complete follow-up prior to occurrence of MCE.

Time to first occurrence of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death. This was the primary outcome measure in all three trials: Glycemia (all participants), Blood Pressure (subgroup of participants not in Lipid Trial), and Lipid (subgroup of participants not in Blood Pressure Trial). In the Glycemia Trial, a finding of higher mortality in the intensive arm group led to an early discontinuation of therapy after a mean of 3.5 years of follow-up.
