Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Four Second Line Pharmacological Strategies in Type 2 Diabetes Study

What this study is testing ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05220917 ↗

Description as written by the study sponsor.

To perform an observational analysis to emulate a target trial (i.e., a hypothetical pragmatic trial that would have answered the causal question of interest) comparing the effectiveness and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), and sulfonylureas (SU), at the class and individual agent level, in head-to-head comparisons in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
