Effect of albiglutide, when added to standard blood glucose lowering therapies, on major cardiovascular events in subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Trial overview
Time to first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) [Non-inferiority]
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
Time to first occurrence of MACE [Superiority]
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
Time to first occurrence of MACE or urgent revascularisation for unstable angina
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
Time to first occurrence of the individual components of the primary endpoint
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
Time to first occurrence of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to heart failure
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
All cause mortality
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
Time to initiation of insulin of more than 3 months duration for those subjects not treated with insulin at study start
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
The proportion of subjects achieving glycemic control (HbA1c <=7.0% at final assessment) with no severe hypoglycemic incidents and weight gain <5% of body weight
Timeframe: Subjects will remain in the study until a specified number of MACE events have occurred. The maximum time subjects will be in the study is estimated to be between 3 and 5 years.
