Design of the liraglutide effect and action in diabetes: Evaluation of cardiovascular outcome results (LEADER) trial

Abstract: LEADER commenced in September 2010, and enrollment concluded in April 2012. There were 9,340 patients enrolled at 410 sites in 32 countries. The mean age of patients was 64.3 ± 7.2 years, 64.3% were men, and mean body mass index was 32.5 ± 6.3 kg/m2. There were 7,592 (81.3%) patients with prior CVD and 1,748 (18.7%) who were high risk but without prior CVD. It is expected that LEADER will provide conclusive data regarding the cardiovascular safety of liraglutide relative to the current standard of usual care f… Show more

“…It hypothesized, adiponectin with its antagonistic effects on TNF-a, may improve diabetes, hypertension, apoptosis, and atherosclerosis [35]. The Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes: Evaluation of cardiovascular outcome Results (LEADER) trial showed conclusive data regarding the cardiovascular safety of liraglutide relative to standard of care for a global population of patients with T2DM [36].…”

“…7 Recently, liraglutide has been suggested to be beneficial for MI, independent of glycemic control. 7,8 In fact, the therapeutic benefits of liraglutide have been reported in several studies, including improved cardiac performance, 9 an attenuated infarct size, 10 increased myocardial blood flow, 11 inhibition of myocardial apoptosis 12 and activation of myocardial signaling pathways. 13 Furthermore, the Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes: Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcome Results (LEADER) trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with long-term follow-up, confirmed the favorable effects of liraglutide on MI.…”

“…Over the next years, with several CV outcome trials due to report (Figure 1) [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , an opportunity for great learnings is at our doorsteps. Since some trials might even contribute to paradigm shifts in our approach to T2D management, it is important to contextualize the results to the study populations in scope taking into account T2D disease duration, degree of vasculopathy, duration of the intervention, and the mode of action of the intervention (Figure 2).…”
