About this study
Official title: AVANDIA CV Outcomes Study: Thiazolidinedione Intervention With Vitamin D Evaluation (TIDE) A Multicenter Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of a Thiazolidinedione or Placebo and of Vitamin D or Placebo In People With Type 2 Diabetes at Risk For Cardiovascular Disease
This study will answer two separate questions.
The first question is to test the cardiovascular effects of long-term treatment with rosiglitazone or pioglitazone when used as part of standard of care compared to similar standard of care without rosiglitazone or pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes who have a history of or are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
The second question will compare the effects of long-term supplementation of vitamin D on death and cancer

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With the Indicated Components of the Composite Cardiovascular Outcome for Thiazolidinedione (TZD)
An event adjudication committee (EAC) adjudicated all occurrences of the components of the composite cardiovascular (CV; related to heart) outcome for TZD. Components are the first occurrence of cardiovascular death for which a non-heart-related cause has not been identified; non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) (death of heart muscle from sudden blockage of a coronary artery by blood clot not leading to death); and non-fatal stroke (rapidly developing loss of brain function[s] due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain not leading to death).
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 up to the Final Visit (average of 162 days)
Number of Participants With the Indicated Components of the Composite Outcome for Vitamin D
An EAC adjudicated all occurrences of the components of the composite outcome for vitamin D. Components are the first occurrence of death or cancer requiring hospitalization, treatment with medicines (chemotherapy), or surgery.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Secondary outcomes (13)
Number of Participants With Any Revascularization
Revascularization is defined as any surgical procedure for the provision of a new, additional, or augmented blood supply to heart muscle. Data regarding the need for any revascularization were adjudicated by the EAC and sent to the data monitoring committee (IDMC) on a regular basis for unblinded review.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Need for Hospitalization for Any Reason
Data regarding the need for hospitalization for any reason were collected and were then forwarded to the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) on a regular basis for unblinded review.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Need for Hospitalization for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Shortness of Breath, Pneumonia, or Angina
CHF is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump adequate blood to meet the body's needs. Shortness of breath is defined as difficulty in breathing. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, caused by various microorganisms. Angina is defined as severe chest pain due to lack of adequate blood supply of the heart muscle because of obstruction/spasm of the heart's blood vessels. Data regarding the need for hospitalization due to any of these reasons were adjudicated by the EAC and sent to the IDMC on a regular basis for unblinded review.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Composite Microvascular Outcome
The components of the composite microvascular outcome are retinopathy, decline in eGFR, vitrectomy, and renal replacement surgery. Retinopathy is defined as damage to the inner lining of the eye (retina). Decline in eGFR is defined as a >=30% reduction in kidney function. Vitrectomy is a surgery to remove some or all of the fluid (vitreous humor) from the eye. Renal replacement therapy includes all the life-supporting treatments for renal failure. Data regarding the number of participants with changes in micro blood vessels (composite microvascular outcome) were collected at each visit.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Retinopathy Requiring Laser Therapy, a Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), Vitrectomy, and Renal Replacement Therapy
Retinopathy is defined as damage to the inner lining of the eye (retina). Decline in eGFR is defined as a >=30% reduction in kidney function. Vitrectomy is a surgery to remove some or all of the fluid (vitreous humor) from the eye. Renal replacement therapy includes all the life-supporting treatments for renal failure. Data on the number of participants with all of these microvascular outcomes were collected at each visit. Data regarding the number of participants with these microvascular outcomes were adjudicated by the EAC and sent to the IDMC on a regular basis for unblinded review.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Severe Lower Than Normal Blood Glucose Level (Hypoglycemia)
Severe hypoglycemia is defined as hypoglycemia requiring assistance from another person with either a documented plasma glucose <=36 mg/deciliter (2.0 millimole per liter [mmol/L]) or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration. Hypoglycemia data were obtained from outcomes reported by the site. Data regarding hypoglycemia were adjudicated by the EAC and sent to the IDMC on a regular basis for unblinded review.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Clinical Proteinuria
Clinical proteinuria is defined as a laboratory detection of urinary protein excretion > 0.5 grams (g) per 24 hours; spot urine analysis for albumin:creatinine ratio >=300 milligrams/g; timed urine collection for albumin excretion >=200 µg/minute or >=300 mg/24 hours. Clinical proteinuria data were obtained from outcomes reported by the site.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With a Fracture
Fracture is defined as a medical condition in which there is a break in the continuity of the bone. Fractures are defined as those breaks that are self reported plus confirmed by an X-ray. Data regarding all occurrences of any fracture were adjudicated by the EAC and sent to the IDMC on a regular basis for unblinded review.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Hepatic Enzyme Increased or Abnormal Liver Function Tests
Liver function tests are groups of clinical biochemistry laboratory blood assays designed to give information about the health of the liver. "Liver function test abnormal" and "hepatic enzyme increased" were obtained from adverse event data as reported by investigators based on the reference range of the reporting local laboratory methodology. The vitamin D arm was not analyzed for this outcome measure.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Cognitive (Mental Processes) Decline (CD) From Baseline to the Year 2 Visit and the Final Visit
CD is equivalent to a difference of >=1.5 units on the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) score. The DSST is a neuropsychological test sensitive to brain damage, a serious loss of cognitive ability, age, and depression. It consists of digit-symbol pairs, followed by a list of digits. Under each digit the participant was asked to write the corresponding symbol as quickly as possible. The number of correct symbols within the allowed time (90 or 120 seconds) was measured in units (one correct score equals one unit).
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Number of Participants With Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance. ED was assessed by using the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIED) questionnaire. This standardized and validated 15-item self-evaluation scale provides pre- and post-treatment clinic evaluations of erectile and orgasmic function, sexual desire, satisfaction with sexual intercourse, and general satisfaction.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Mean Score on Euro-QoL (EQ)-5D
Quality of life (QoL) was assessed by using the Euro-QoL (EQ)-5D, a short questionnaire used for measuring health-related QoL. The preference weights are elicited by asking participants to place hypothetical health states on a visual analogue scale from "0" to "1", whereby a score of "1" represents the best health state imaginable and "0" represents a health state equivalent to being dead. Negative states are those worse than being dead.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)
Mean Score on Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Test, as an Assessment of Cognitive Function (CF)
CF was assessed with the 30-point (pt) MoCA test, involving a short-term memory recall task (T) (5 pts), a clock-drawing T (3 pts), a 3-dimensional cube copy (1 pt), a trail-making B T (1 pt), a phonemic fluency T (1 pt), a 2-item verbal abstraction T (2 pts), an attention T (1 pt), a serial subtraction T (3 pts), digits forward/ backward (1 pt each), a 3-item confrontation naming T (3 pts), repetition of 2 syntactically complex sentences (2 pts), and orientation to time/ place (6 pts). A score of 26 or above is normal.
Measured: From Randomization at Visit 3 to Final Visit (up to 162 days)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study will answer two separate questions.
The first question is to test the cardiovascular effects of long-term treatment with rosiglitazone or pioglitazone when used as part of standard of care compared to similar standard of care without rosiglitazone or pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes who have a history of or are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
The second question will compare the effects of long-term supplementation of vitamin D on death and cancer

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Dec 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
