Trial Outcomes & Findings for A 12 Month Site Randomized Trial in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and History of Cardiovascular Disease (NCT NCT03936660)

NCT ID: NCT03936660

Last Updated: 2024-11-21

Results Overview

Proportion of patients prescribed all three groups of guideline-recommended therapies for management for T2DM and CVD at last follow-up visit. Groups were defined as (1) high-intensity statins (40-80 mg/d atorvastatin or 20-40 mg/d rosuvastatin); (2) ACEIs or ARBs including angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs); and (3) SGLT2 inhibitors and/or GLP-1RAs with proven cardiovascular benefit (SGLT2 inhibitors: empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, or canagliflozin; GLP-1RAs: liraglutide, semaglutide, or dulaglutide), or metformin monotherapy with hemoglobin A1c \< 7%.
