Conditions

Acute Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Keywords

diabetes, MI, heart attack

Brief summary

The primary objective was to demonstrate a difference between two insulin strategies, one targeting postprandial (PP) hyperglycemia and the other targeting fasting and interprandial hyperglycemia, on time until the first combined adjudicated cardiovascular (CV) event (primary outcome defined as CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction \[MI\], nonfatal stroke, coronary revascularization, or hospitalized acute coronary syndrome).

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different treatment strategies on CV outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes while aiming to achieve and maintain HbA1c \<7.0% in both groups. Only patients who have recently experienced an acute MI will be considered for participation in this trial.

Interventions

DRUGInsulin lispro

Patient adjusted dose, three times a day (TID), injected subcutaneous (SC) before each meal until patient completes study

DRUGHuman insulin isophane suspension (NPH)

Patient adjusted dose, daily at bedtime, injected subcutaneous (SC) until patient completes study. To be added to the arm only if patient has two consecutive HbA1c values \>8.0%

DRUGInsulin glargine

Insulin glargine injected subcutaneous (SC) once daily in the evening until patient completes study.

DRUGHuman insulin isophane suspension

Patient adjusted dose, twice daily, injected subcutaneous (SC) before morning and evening meals until patient completes study.

Patient adjusted dose, twice daily before the morning and evening meals, injected subcutaneous (SC) until patient completes study. To replace insulin regimen in this arm only if patient has two consecutive HbA1c values \>8.0%.

Pre-assignment details

One patient was randomized but discontinued prior to treatment and is not included in any of the analyses. In the Participant Flow table, the term study outcome is used to differentiate it from serious adverse events (SAEs). By definition, the study outcomes were all SAEs as it was a cardiovascular outcome trial.
