Study Population

Patients enrolled in the Saxagliptin Assessment of Vascular Outcomes Recorded in Diabetes Mellitus study, which is a randomized, placebo-controlled phase 4 study of cardiovascular outcomes). 12,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and either a history of a cardiovascular event or multiple risk factors for vascular disease. Patients will be distributed as follows: at least 30% in North America, approximately 30% in Europe, and the remainder in South America, Asia, Australia, and South Africa.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Enrolled in SAVOR
  • Diagnosed with T2DM
  • Baseline HbA1c ≥6.5% (based on the last measured and documented laboratory measurement within 6 months)
  • Age 40 or older
  • High risk for a cardiovascular event

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Not enrolled in SAVOR
  • Current or previous treatment with DPP4 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 or incretin mimetics.
  • Acute vascular event
  • Pregnancy
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Severe autoimmune disease
  • Current chronic steroid use

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Patients treated with saxagliptin or placebo
Patients will be treated with saxagliptin or placebo, on top of whatever baseline treatment for diabetes the patient is already receiving.
Patients currently or previously on treatment
Patients currently or previously on (within 6 months) treatment with DPP4 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 mimetics are excluded.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To identify risk factors for lymphopenia, defined as an absolute lymphocyte count < 500 cells/μl, or investigator reported lymphopenia, in the SAVOR study population.
Time Frame: 60 months
60 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To identify risk factors for absolute lymphocyte count <750 cells/µl or investigator reported lymphopenia.
Time Frame: 60 months
60 months
To identify risk factors for decreased lymphocyte count (>=30% decrease from baseline.
Time Frame: 60 months
60 months
To evaluate whether risk factors for low lymphocyte counts or decreasing lymphocyte count differ between saxagliptin users and non-users.
Time Frame: 60 months
60 months
