Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief summary

This is a clinical trial designed to assess the cardiovascular outcome of long-term treatment with sitagliptin used as part of usual care compared to usual care without sitagliptin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) having a history of cardiovascular (CV) disease and a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 6.5% to 8.0%. Primary hypothesis A is that sitagliptin, when used as part of usual care, is non-inferior to usual care without sitagliptin with regard to the risk of developing a confirmed event in the primary CV composite endpoint of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) plus. If hypothesis A is satisfied: hypothesis B is that sitagliptin, when used as part of usual care, is superior to usual care without sitagliptin with regard to the risk of developing a confirmed event in the primary CV composite endpoint.

Interventions

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo tablet matching the 50 mg or 100 mg sitagliptin tablet, orally, once daily.

DRUGSitagliptin

Sitagliptin, one 50 mg or one 100 mg tablet (dose dependant on renal function) orally, once daily.
