Study population: Patients enrolled in the Saxagliptin Assessment of Vascular Outcomes Recorded in Diabetes Mellitus study, which is a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 4 study of cardiovascular outcomes). 12,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and either a history of a cardiovascular event or multiple risk factors for vascular disease. Patients will be distributed as follows: at least 30% in North America, approximately 30% in Europe, and the remainder in South America, Asia, Australia, and South Africa.

  • Enrolled in SAVOR
  • Diagnosed with T2DM
  • Baseline HbA1c ≥6.5% (based on the last measured and documented laboratory measurement within 6 months)
  • Age 40 or older
  • High risk for a cardiovascular event

Who cannot join

  • Not enrolled in SAVOR
  • Current or previous treatment with DPP4 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 or incretin mimetics.
  • Acute vascular event
  • Pregnancy

About this study

Official title: Identification of Risk Factors for Low Lymphocyte Count in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: An Analysis of Data From the SAVOR Study

The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for low lymphocyte count among patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with oral antidiabetic drugs.

Read the detailed description

Involving a secondary analysis of data collected prospectively from a defined cohort, for the SAVOR trial.

Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01192659
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients treated with saxagliptin or placeboPatients will be treated with saxagliptin or placebo, on top of whatever baseline treatment for diabetes the patient is already receiving.
Patients currently or previously on treatmentPatients currently or previously on (within 6 months) treatment with DPP4 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 mimetics are excluded.

What is being measured

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

  1. To identify risk factors for lymphopenia, defined as an absolute lymphocyte count < 500 cells/μl, or investigator reported lymphopenia, in the SAVOR study population.

    Measured: 60 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To identify risk factors for absolute lymphocyte count <750 cells/µl or investigator reported lymphopenia.

    Measured: 60 months

  2. To identify risk factors for decreased lymphocyte count (>=30% decrease from baseline.

    Measured: 60 months

  3. To evaluate whether risk factors for low lymphocyte counts or decreasing lymphocyte count differ between saxagliptin users and non-users.

    Measured: 60 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 1 Dec 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?

To identify risk factors for lymphopenia, defined as an absolute lymphocyte count < 500 cells/μl, or investigator reported lymphopenia, in the SAVOR study population. (time frame: 60 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 1 Dec 2016.
