To describe the design of the SOUL trial (Semaglutide cardiOvascular oUtcomes triaL) and the baseline clinical data of its participants.
In SOUL, the effects of oral semaglutide, the first oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events in individuals with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD) will be assessed. SOUL is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled CV outcomes trial comparing oral semaglutide (14 mg once daily) with placebo, both in addition to standard of care, in individuals aged ≥50 years with type 2 diabetes and evidence of ASCVD (coronary artery disease [CAD], cerebrovascular disease, symptomatic peripheral arterial disease [PAD]) and/or CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m ). The primary outcome is time from randomization to first occurrence of a major adverse CV event (MACE; a composite of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction or nonfatal stroke). This event-driven trial will continue until 1225 first adjudication-confirmed MACEs have occurred. Enrolment has been completed.
Overall, 9650 participants were enrolled between June 17, 2019 and March 24, 2021 (men 71.1%, White ethnicity 68.9%, mean age 66.1 years, diabetes duration 15.4 years, body mass index 31.1 kg/m , glycated haemoglobin 63.5 mmol/mol [8.0%]). The most frequently used antihyperglycaemic medications at baseline were metformin (75.7%), insulin and insulin analogues (50.5%), sulphonylureas (29.1%), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (26.7%) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (23.0%). At randomization, 70.7% of participants had CAD, 42.3% had CKD, 21.1% had cerebrovascular disease and 15.7% had symptomatic PAD (categories not mutually exclusive). Prevalent heart failure was reported in 23.0% of participants.
SOUL will provide evidence regarding the CV effects of oral semaglutide in individuals with type 2 diabetes and established ASCVD and/or CKD.
描述 SOUL 试验(司美格鲁肽心血管结局试验)的设计以及参与者的基线临床数据。
在 SOUL 试验中,将评估口服司美格鲁肽(首个口服胰高血糖素样肽-1 受体激动剂)对患有 2 型糖尿病和已确诊动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)和/或慢性肾脏病(CKD)的个体心血管(CV)事件风险的影响。SOUL 是一项随机、双盲、平行组、安慰剂对照的 CV 结局试验,将比较口服司美格鲁肽(每日 14mg,一次)与安慰剂,均在年龄≥50 岁、患有 2 型糖尿病且有 ASCVD(冠心病[CAD]、脑血管疾病、有症状的外周动脉疾病[PAD])和/或 CKD(估算肾小球滤过率<60mL/min/1.73m )证据的个体中,在标准治疗的基础上进行。主要结局是从随机分组到首次发生主要不良 CV 事件(MACE;CV 死亡、非致死性心肌梗死或非致死性卒中的复合事件)的时间。该事件驱动试验将持续至发生 1225 例首次裁决确认的 MACE 事件。入组已经完成。
总体而言,2019 年 6 月 17 日至 2021 年 3 月 24 日期间共纳入 9650 名参与者(男性占 71.1%,白种人占 68.9%,平均年龄 66.1 岁,糖尿病病程 15.4 年,体重指数 31.1kg/m ,糖化血红蛋白 63.5mmol/mol[8.0%])。基线时最常使用的抗高血糖药物为二甲双胍(75.7%)、胰岛素及其类似物(50.5%)、磺脲类(29.1%)、钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2 抑制剂(26.7%)和二肽基肽酶-4 抑制剂(23.0%)。随机分组时,70.7%的参与者有 CAD,42.3%有 CKD,21.1%有脑血管疾病,15.7%有有症状的 PAD(类别不互斥)。23.0%的参与者报告有心力衰竭。
SOUL 将提供关于口服司美格鲁肽在患有 2 型糖尿病和已确诊 ASCVD 和/或 CKD 的个体中的 CV 效果的证据。
