GLP-1 Treatment Options in Durham, NC

PRECIDENTD is a randomized, open label, pragmatic clinical trial designed to compare rates of the total number of cardiovascular, kidney, and death events among two alternative treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and either established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or at high risk for ASCVD. To accomplish this objective, we will randomly assign 6,000 patients with established T2D and ASCVD or high-risk for ASCVD in a 1:1 allocation to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). Participants will be followed for the occurrence of the trial primary endpoint of the total (first and recurrent) number of episodes of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, arterial revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, development of end-stage kidney disease, kidney transplantation, and mortality, counting all events from randomization until end of study.

This project is designed to advance understanding of the incretin effect in health and disease. This system of gut-islet linkage is essential for normal glucose tolerance, impaired in T2DM, and amenable to therapeutic intervention. However, there are important gaps in understanding incretin function that limit application of this system; this project will address several of these. A secondary, but critical aspect of this research is focus on inter-individual variation in the physiology of the incretin system. This is a novel direction for research in this field and is critical to advancing the concept of individualized medical care in diabetes by establishing whether there is a physiologic basis for predicting the existence of responders and non-responders to incretin therapies. Currently, we have described only Aim 1 from this grant in this protocol registration. While Aim 2 and 3 are described in the grant, Aim 1 will be conducted first and the results from this Aim and / or the publication of other results in the field may affect the approach to Aims 2 and 3.
