CVOTs in T2D
• Safety expectations for all new anti-diabetes drugs1
• Specific focus on CV safety in recognition of the excess
burden of CVD in T2D1
• To establish the safety of a new antidiabetic therapy, sponsors
should demonstrate that the therapy will not result in an
unacceptable increase in CV risk2
• Primary aim to demonstrate non-inferiority versus placebo in major
adverse cardiac event (MACE) primary composite end point1

New agents are measured against existing standard of care1
CV, cardiovascular; CVOT, CV outcomes trial
EMA, 2012. http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Scientific_guideline/2012/06/WC500129256.pdf]. Accessed Nov 2018.
A new agent must be compared with a placebo arm that
includes established background therapy, defined as
current standard of care
In CVOTs, all patients receive background standard of care for CV risk
reduction and glucose control to achieve guideline-recommended targets

Since the publication of CVOT data, how has the approach to
T2D treatment changed? Have we shifted our focus?
What was the approach for T2D treatment
before the availability of CVOT results?
How have CVOT results influenced the treatment of patients with T2D?

A historical lack of
evidence for CV
outcomes with different
therapies meant that
treatment focused mainly
on glucose lowering1The CVOT results have demonstrated
the potential to reduce CV risk
- and highlighted its importance2
The new data has enabled a shift to
evidence-based prescribing, where
glucose lowering is still important, but
sits alongside CV outcomes1,2
