  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study will be carried out using databases containing administrative claims data (HIRD and Medicare in the U.S.) and electronic medical records (GPRD and THIN in the UK). The US population includes patients from health plans in the northeast, southeastern, mid-Atlantic, central, mid-western, and western regions (HIRD) as well as US citizens 65 years of age and older (Medicare). The UK population includes patients seeking medical care from general practitioners (GPRD and THIN)

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Newly prescribed Saxagliptin or an OAD in a class other than DPP4 inhibitors
  • Enrolled in the respective database for at least 180 days prior to the first prescription for Saxagliptin or other OAD in a class other than DPP4 inhibitors

Who cannot join

  • Patients identified with a diagnostic code for any of the cardiovascular outcomes of interest within the 180-day baseline period
  • Patients prescribed a DPP4 inhibitor during the baseline period

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Major cardiovascular events defined as a composite of acute MI, stroke or death due to acute MI, stroke, CHF, dysrhythmia, sudden death, or coronary revascularization. Alternative outcomes include DVT, PE, and arterial vascular disease

    Myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE)

    Measured: 18-months

  2. Major cardiovascular events defined as a composite of acute MI, stroke or death due to acute MI, stroke, CHF, dysrhythmia, sudden death, or coronary revascularization. Alternative outcomes include DVT, PE, and arterial vascular disease

    Measured: 36-months

  3. Major cardiovascular events defined as a composite of acute MI, stroke or death due to acute MI, stroke, CHF, dysrhythmia, sudden death, or coronary revascularization. Alternative outcomes include DVT, PE, and arterial vascular disease

    Measured: 54-months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Acute MI, acute stroke, death from cardiovascular causes, and coronary and carotid revascularization procedures, evaluated separately and then combined

    Measured: 18-months

  2. Acute MI, acute stroke, death from cardiovascular causes, and coronary and carotid revascularization procedures, evaluated separately and then combined

    Measured: 36-months

  3. Acute MI, acute stroke, death from cardiovascular causes, and coronary and carotid revascularization procedures, evaluated separately and then combined

    Measured: 54-months

  4. All-cause death

    Measured: 18-months

  5. All-cause death

    Measured: 36-months

  6. All-cause death

    Measured: 54-months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by AstraZeneca.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major cardiovascular events defined as a composite of acute MI, stroke or death due to acute MI, stroke, CHF, dysrhythmia, sudden death, or coronary revascularization. Alternative outcomes include DVT, PE, and arterial vascular disease (time frame: 18-months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01086280, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2016.
