Patients with type 2 diabetes and a glycated hemoglobin level of 7% or more type 2 diabetes
Conditions
Interventions
Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive once-daily oral semaglutide or oral hypoglycemic agents other than semaglutide.
The patients in the semaglutide group were initially

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes from baseline after 6 months of treatment in vascular inflammation measured by blood-normalized standardized uptake value, known as a target-to-background ratio by FDG-PET/CT | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Changes from baseline in FDG activity witin the myocardium, liver, spleen, brain, and fat as measured by FDG-PET/CT 2. Changes from baseline in subcutaneous and visceral fat volume as measured by CT 3. Changes from baseline in daily energy intake and the intake of different nutritional components 4. Changes from baseline in weight, waist circumference, resting blood pressure, and resting heart rate 5. Changes from baseline in serum and urinary diabetic markers including fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, glycated hemoglobin, urinary glucose excretion, urinary protein excretion, and urinary L-FABP 6. Changes from baseline in lipid profiles (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides) 7. Changes from baseline in serum biomarkers of inflammation and atherosclerosis (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, asymmetric dimethylarginine, adiponectin, advanced glycation end-products, receptor for advanced glycation end-products, pigment epithelium-derived factor, leptin, ghrelin) 8. Changes from baseline in cardio-ankle vascular index and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation 9.
