A Heart Disease Study of Semaglutide in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (Semaglutide cardiOvascular oUtcomes triaL)
Doente / População Intervenção / Exposição Comparação Desfecho
In 9,650 patients with type 2 diabetes and ASCVD, CKD, or both, oral semaglutide reduced major adverse cardiovascular events compared with placebo (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.77-0.96).

Desenho

ResultadoPrimary event 12.0% with oral semaglutide vs 13.8% with placebo (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.77-0.96; P=0.006) over mean 47.5 months, a 14% relative risk reduction driven largely by fewer MIs.

Discussão e crítica
MACE benefit modest and driven mainly by the MI component with no reduction in CV or all-cause death, and most patients were not on SGLT2 inhibitors at baseline. First CVOT to show an oral GLP-1 agonist lowers cardiovascular events.
