Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mortality and macrovascular morbidity as well as the incidence of malignancies over time, in high-risk diabetic participants who previously received long-term treatment with either pioglitazone or placebo in combination with their usual medication for glycaemic management.

Detailed description

This was a European,multicenter,observational study of participants who were previously treated with pioglitazone or placebo in addition to their existing anti diabetic medication. This 10-year observational study was conducted as a follow-up of PROactive study (NCT00174993) to investigate the CV and macrovascular effects observed with pioglitazone over time during PROactive.In this study,high risk T2DM patients previously enrolled in PROactive were analyzed for long-term incidence,nature, and pattern of all malignancies in pioglitazone and placebo-treated groups.This study enrolled 3599 participants.No treatment was prescribed by this protocol and participants will be managed in accordance with normal medical practice.The planned total duration of the study was 10 years,with data being analyzed and reported every 2 years.Participants were assessed at nominal visits every 6 months and every effort was made to obtain as much of the required information as possible.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With First Occurrence of Macro-vascular Event or DeathUp to Year 10The composite macro-vascular event or death included all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, cardiac intervention, stroke, major leg amputation (above the ankle), bypass surgery or revascularization in the leg. The percentage of participants in the observational study population having first occurrence of macro-vascular event or death during the 10-year observational study period was analyzed. The data were analyzed using the Cox regression with respect to time to the first occurrence of macro-vascular event or death.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidences With MalignanciesUp to Year 10Percentage of participants with incidences of at least 1 malignancy was reported. All malignancies included adrenal, biliary, bladder, brain, breast, cervix, colon/rectal, gastric, hematological, hepatic, lung, mesothelioma, metastases, oesophageal, oropharyngeal, ovarian/uterine, pancreas, prostate, renal, skin and others.
