About this study

Official title: Long Term Comparative Effectiveness of Once Weekly Semaglutide Versus Standard of Care in a Real World Adult US Population With Type 2 Diabetes - a Randomized Pragmatic Clinical Trial

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of semaglutide (Ozempic®) with the effects of other treatments for type 2 diabetes in a normal practice setting. The participant will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1: semaglutide (Ozempic®) (by injection into skin) Group 2: standard of care antidiabetic medication (oral or injectable). The participant has an equal chance of being in either of the treatment groups. Neither the participant nor the study doctor or study staff will be able to pick which group the participant is in, but the participant will know which study drug the participant has been assigned to. The study doctor will provide the participant with a prescription for the study diabetes medication based on the treatment group the participant is assigned. The participation will last about 2 years.

Being tested
Semaglutide, Standard of care
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SemaglutideDrug

    Participants will be prescribed commercially available semaglutide s.c. and will be instructed to initiate treatment with semaglutide s.c. according to the approved label. The study doctor will determine the intended maintenance dose of semaglutide, as well as changes to the maintenance dose thereafter.

  • Standard of careDrug

    Participants will receive standard of care, defined as commercially available oral or injectable antidiabetic medication other than semaglutide. Participants will be prescribed and instructed to initiate commercially available antidiabetic medication according to the approved label and, if relevant for the specific antidiabetic medication, adjusted at the discretion of the study doctor.

    Measured: Baseline (less than or equal to 4 weeks prior to the randomization at week 0), year 1

  9. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) From Baseline to Year 1

Medication adherence referred to a participant's conformance to the provider's recommendation with respect to timing, dosage, and frequency of medication taken during the prescribed length of time. The MPR was used to assess adherence. MPR was calculated as follows: MPR (%) = Sum of days supply for all prescription fills*100/Total number of days in time period. MPR was capped at 100%.

The DTSQc provides a measure of how satisfied participants are with their current diabetes treatment compared with previous treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change. Six questions are summed to produce a total treatment satisfaction score. The remaining two questions concern perceived frequency of hyperglycemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycemia, respectively. The DTSQc total treatment satisfaction score ranges from -18 to +18, with higher scores associated with greater treatment satisfaction.

    Measured: At year 1

  16. DTSQc, Total Treatment Satisfaction Score Measured at Year 2

    DTSQc total treatment satisfaction score measured at year 2 is presented. The DTSQc provides a measure of how satisfied participants are with their current diabetes treatment compared with previous treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change. Six questions are summed to produce a total treatment satisfaction score. The remaining two questions concern perceived frequency of hyperglycemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycemia, respectively. The DTSQc total treatment satisfaction score ranges from -18 to +18, with higher scores associated with greater treatment satisfaction.

    Measured: At year 2

  17. Change From Baseline in Short Form 12-Item Version 2 Survey (SF-12 v2), Physical Component Summary (PCS-12) Score at Year 1

    Change from baseline in SF-12 v2, PCS-12 score at year 1 is presented. The SF-12 v2 is a 12-item generic health-related quality of life measure that assesses physical and mental functioning. The items were scored using the scoring software. It contains two summary scores: Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score and Mental Component Summary (MCS) Score. The scores are norm-scored such that the scores range from 0-100 with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. A higher score is associated with better quality of life and a lower score, poorer quality of life.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
