RECORD: Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiac Outcomes and Regulation of Glycaemia in Diabetes

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is a phase 3b, multicentre, randomised, open label, parallel group study. A 4-week run-in period will be followed by a median of 6 years of treatment with study medication in addition to continuation of background glucose lowering therapy. Patients inadequately controlled on background metformin will be randomised to receive, in addition to metformin, either rosiglitazone or a sulfonylurea(glibenclamide, gliclazide or glimepiride) in a ratio of 1:1. Patients inadequately controlled on background SU will be randomised to receive, in addition to SU, either rosiglitazone or metformin in a ratio of 1:1. Equal numbers of patients receiving background metformin and SU at entry will be entered into the study.

Detailed Description

| Independent Re-adjudication (IR) Outcome: Number of Participants With a First Occurrence of a Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE) Defined as CV (or Unknown) Death, Non-fatal MI, and Non-fatal Stroke Based on Original RECORD Endpoint Definitions | IR was based on original RECORD endpoint definitions. CV death= no unequivocal non-CV cause (sudden death, death from acute vascular events, heart failure, acute MI, other CV causes, and deaths adjudicated as unknown cause). MI event=hospitalization + elevation of specific cardiac biomarkers above the upper limit of normal + cardiac ischemia symptoms/new pathological electrocardiogram findings.

Participants were not provided with study medication in the observational follow-up; instead, anti-diabetic treatment was prescribed at the investigator's discretion. A bone fracture event is defined as one or more fractured bones occurring on the same date that had the same Higher Level Group Term (HLGT) for fracture location, per participant. | From the end of the RECORD study through the end of the observational follow-up (up to 4.0 years) | 
| Number of Participants With Potentially High Morbidity Fractures: Main Study + Observational Follow-up Combined | The observational follow-up was designed to collect data concerning cancer and bone fractures in RECORD participants during a 4-year period after the end of the main RECORD study. At the end of the main study, all study medication was stopped. Participants were not provided with study medication in the observational follow-up; instead, anti-diabetic treatment was prescribed at the investigator's discretion. A bone fracture event is defined as one or more fractured bones occurring on the same date and that had the same Higher Level Group Term (HLGT) for fracture location, per participant. The following bone fractures were grouped and were identified as potentially high morbidity bone fractures: hip, pelvis, upper leg, vertebral (lumbar spine, thoracic spine, cervical spine, spine - site unknown). | From the beginning of the main study through the end of the observational follow-up (up to 11.4 years) | 
| Number of Participants With Potentially High Morbidity Fracture Events and Non-high Morbidity Fracture Events, in Participants With Prior Hand/Upper Arm/Foot Fractures (H/UA/FF): Main Study + Observational Follow-up Combined | The observational follow-up was designed to collect data concerning cancer and bone fractures in RECORD participants during a 4-year period after the end of the main RECORD study. At the end of the main study, all study medication was stopped.

| Number of Participants With Bone Fracture Events of the Indicated Cause: Observational Follow-up | The observational follow-up was designed to collect data concerning cancer and bone fractures in RECORD participants during a 4-year period after the end of the main RECORD study. At the end of the main study, all study medication was stopped. Participants were not provided with study medication in the observational follow-up; instead, anti-diabetic treatment was prescribed at the investigator's discretion. A bone fracture event is defined as one or more fractured bones occurring on the same date and that had the same Higher Level Group Term (HLGT) for fracture location, per participant. The indicated fracture outcome was pre-specified in the CRF and included Unknown as a category. Fracture events with missing outcome data were reported as Data unavailable. | From the end of the RECORD study through the end of the observational follow-up (up to 4.0 years) | 
| Number of Bone Fracture Events With the Indicated Outcome: Main Study + Observational Follow-up Combined | The observational follow-up was designed to collect data concerning cancer and bone fractures in RECORD participants during a 4-year period after the end of the main RECORD study. At the end of the main study, all study medication was stopped. Participants were not provided with study medication in the observational follow-up; instead, anti-diabetic treatment was prescribed at the investigator's discretion.

| Number of Participants With the Indicated Serious Adverse Event: Observational Follow-up | The observational follow-up was designed to collect data concerning cancer and bone fractures in RECORD participants during a 4-year period after the end of the main RECORD study. At the end of the main study, all study medication was stopped. Participants were not provided with study medication in the observational follow-up; instead, anti-diabetic treatment was prescribed at the investigator's discretion. An SAE is defined as any event that is fatal; life threatening; disabling/incapacitating; results in hospitalization (excluding elective surgery or routine clinical procedures); prolongs a hospital stay; is associated with a congenital abnormality; cancer; is associated with an overdose. In addition, any event that the investigator regards as serious or that would suggest any significant hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution that may be associated with the study procedures should be reported as an SAE. | From the end of the RECORD study through the end of the observational follow-up (up to 4.0 years) |
