Liraglutide (Victoza®) Post-Marketing Surveillance Initiated to Assess Real-World Safety and Effectiveness
Background
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder requiring ongoing management, often involving combination therapies. While GLP-1 receptor agonists like liraglutide are well-established, real-world data is crucial to confirm long-term safety and effectiveness in diverse populations and specific treatment regimens. This study addresses the need for such post-marketing surveillance data on liraglutide in Asian T2DM patients, particularly when combined with antidiabetic agents other than sulfonylureas, to identify any nuances not captured in initial clinical trials.
Study Design
This post-marketing surveillance (Special Use-results Surveillance) trial is conducted in Asia, evaluating Liraglutide (Victoza®). The study aims to assess safety and effectiveness in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Participants are using liraglutide in combination with antidiabetes agents other than sulfonylurea under normal clinical practice conditions. Data is collected observationally, focusing on real-world outcomes. The primary endpoints are the overall safety profile and clinical effectiveness of liraglutide in this specific patient cohort.
