Conditions

Cardiovascular Disease, Inadequate Glycaemic Control, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Keywords

dapagliflozin, diabetes, cardiovascular disease

Brief summary

This study is carried out to assess whether dapagliflozin improves glycemic control, decreases fasting plasma glucose levels, body weight and blood pressure when added to patient's existing medications and how it compares with their usual treatment without added dapagliflozin. Safety data will be collected and analysed to confirm that treatment with dapagliflozin is safe and well tolerated in patients who have diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Participant flow

Recruitment details

First participant enrolled 15 Mar 2010, last part. last visit for 24-week period: 30 May 2011. 1489 part. enrolled, 964 randomized in USA, Canada, Australia, Chile, Argentina and 5 European countries (value presented in 'Enrolment' field). One add. part. treated but not randomized. Part. with T2DM and CVD who showed inadequate glycemic control.

Pre-assignment details

During a placebo lead-in period, participants were counselled on dietary and life-style modifications. Anti-diabetic therapy should be kept constant 4 weeks prior to enrolment. Participants eligible for the study were stratified according to age (\<65 years or ≥65 years), insulin use and time from most recent qualifying CV event (\>1 or ≤1 year).
