Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

Ages Any age
All sexes
No healthy volunteers
Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will include a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who initiated liraglutide and two cohorts of patients with T2DM standardized to have similar baseline covariates, including use of antidiabetic medicines, relative to the liraglutide initiators (the Liraglutide-like Cohort) and to participants in the LEADER™ Trial (LEADER™-like Cohort).

Who may be able to join

All Cohort Members: Members of each of the cohorts must have at least 12 months of baseline coverage within Humedica prior to the patients' index date (cohort- specific index dates are defined below). Within Humedica, baseline coverage will be defined as the date from the earliest observed encounter up to and including the index date. Patients must have at least 1 diagnosis of T2DM (250.X0 or 250.X2) prior to and including the date of the qualifying prescription, no prior diagnosis (inclusive of the index date) of T1DM (250.X1 or 250.X3) and no diagnosis of gestational diabetes within the previous 12 months (inclusive of the index date). Patients will not be eligible for inclusion if they have prior prescriptions for GLP-1 analogues (including liraglutide and exenatide) during the interval that would be considered the baseline period
Liraglutide-like Cohort: To be eligible for inclusion in the Liraglutide-like Cohort, patients must have at least one qualifying prescription for an OAD. Qualifying OADs will be specified that share similar labelled or unlabelled indications as liraglutide
LEADER™-like Cohort: To be eligible for inclusion in the LEADERTM-like Cohort, patients must meet the following inclusion and exclusion criteria: Patients will be eligible for inclusion after meeting the overall inclusion and exclusion criteria in addition to the following: Ages 50 and over. HbA1c at least 7%

Who cannot join

Patients will be excluded from the LEADER™-like Cohort if any of the following are observed prior to meeting the inclusion criteria defined above: Calcitonin >= 50ng/L. Baseline DPP-4 or pramlintide. Chronic heart failure diagnosis, NYHA Class IV. Acute coronary or cerebrovascular event within 14 days prior to initiation. Current continuous renal replacement therapy. End-stage liver disease. Solid organ transplant. Malignant neoplasm

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in United States.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Incidence of all malignant neoplasms (time frame: Follow-up is defined as the period following the date of the qualifying prescription or diagnosis (01 Jan 2008 at the earliest) and will vary depending on when this date occurs.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02608853.

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.
