Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerosis of leg arteries and may result in severe functional impairment. People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at higher risk of developing PAD than those without T2D. We present baseline data from STRIDE, a phase 3 trial investigating functional outcomes of semaglutide treatment in patients with PAD and T2D. STRIDE enrolled 792 patients with PAD (Fontaine IIa claudication) and T2D who were randomized to either 1 mg once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide or placebo for 52 weeks. The primary outcome is change in maximum walking distance on a constant load treadmill. Baseline characteristics, comorbidities and medications were recorded. Median age was 68, 75.4% male, a median duration of T2D of 12 years, mean HbA1c 7.3% and LDL-C 2.0 mmol/L. CVD related history included: hypertension (87.9%), coronary disease (42.4%), coronary revascularization (31.4%), MI (18.7%), coronary artery stenosis &gt;50% (27.5%), stroke (6.4%), transient ischemic attack (3.9%), chronic heart failure (13.6%), and chronic kidney disease (15.8%). More than a third were on SGLT2is. Baseline medications are shown in table 1. We highlight the high CVD burden and the baseline medications of patients in STRIDE, representing a study population with multiple comorbid risk factors and reasonably well controlled T2D.
