Study Website: PRECIDENTD
ClinicalTrials.gov#: NCT05390892
Study Design: Intervention Trial
PCORnet Infrastructure: Common Data Model (CDM), Single IRB, Patient partners or engagement
Principal Investigator: Brendan Everett
Institution: Brigham and Women's Hospital
Funder: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI); (Project webpage)
Funding Date: 2021
Study Duration: 2022 – 2028
Participating PCORnet® Clinical Research Networks: ADVANCE, GPC, INSIGHT, OneFlorida+, PaTH, STAR

Status: Recruiting

Research Question(s):

  1. In patients with type 2 diabetes, are SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 recent agonists better for preventing heart attack, stroke, blood vessel disease, heart failure, kidney disease, and death?
  2. Is combination therapy with both medication classes better than one therapy alone?
