What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Exenatide Once WeeklyDrug
Subcutaneous injection, 2 mg, administered once weekly.
PlaceboDrug
Subcutaneous injection, matching volume of placebo, administered once weekly.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary Efficacy Outcome MACE Events
The primary efficacy outcome variable is defined as the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
The primary efficacy endpoint is the same as the primary safety endpoint, and the statistical analysis tests the superiority of exenatide against the placebo.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Primary Safety Outcome MACE Events
The primary safety outcome variable is defined as the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
The primary safety endpoint is the same as the primary efficacy endpoints, and the statistical analysis tests the non-inferiority of exenatide against placebo.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Secondary outcomes (6)
Secondary Efficacy Outcome All-Cause Mortality
The secondary efficacy outcome variable is defined as the all-cause mortality (deaths). The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Secondary Efficacy Outcome CV Death
Component of the primary efficacy outcome: cardiovascular death. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Secondary Efficacy Outcome MI
Component of primary efficacy outcome: fatal or non-fatal MI. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Secondary Efficacy Outcome Stroke
Component of primary efficacy outcome: fatal or non-fatal stroke. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Secondary Efficacy Outcome Hospitalization for ACS
The secondary efficacy outcome variable is defined as hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).
Secondary Efficacy Outcome Hospitalization for HF
The secondary efficacy outcome variable is defined as hospitalization for heart failure. The number of participants who had an event is reported in the results.
Measured: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).

What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Aug 2018). 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?
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?
Primary Efficacy Outcome MACE Events (time frame: Time to first event. Information collected during study period (anticipated to be up to 7.5 years).). The study lists 2 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 NCT01144338, which also lists 20 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.
