SummaryObjective: To improve the transparency of clinical trial generalizability and to illustrate the method using Type 2 diabetes as an example.Methods: Our data included 1,761 diabetes clinical trials and the electronic health records (EHR) of 26,120 patients with Type 2 diabetes who visited Columbia University Medical Center of New-York Presbyterian Hospital. The two populations were compared using the Generalizability Index for Study Traits (GIST) on the earliest diagnosis age and the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values.Results: Greater than 70% of Type 2 diabetes studies allow patients with HbA1c measures between 7 and 10.5, but less than 40% of studies allow HbA1c<7 and fewer than 45% of studies allow HbA1c>10.5. In the real-world population, only 38% of patients had HbA1c between 7 and 10.5, with 12% having values above the range and 52% having HbA1c<7. The GIST for HbA1c was 0.51. Most studies adopted broad age value ranges, with the most common restrictions excluding patients >80 or <18 years. Most of the real-world population fell within this range, but 2% of patients were <18 at time of first diagnosis and 8% were >80. The GIST for age was 0.75. Conclusions: We contribute a scalable method to profile and compare aggregated clinical trial target populations with EHR patient populations. We demonstrate that Type 2 diabetes studies are more generalizable with regard to age than they are with regard to HbA1c. We found that the generalizability of age increased from Phase 1 to Phase 3 while the generalizability of HbA1c decreased during those same phases. This method can generalize to other medical conditions and other continuous or binary variables. We envision the potential use of EHR data for examining the generaliz-ability of clinical trials and for defining population-representative clinical trial eligibility criteria.Citation: Weng C, Li Y, Ryan P, Zhang Y, Liu F, Gao J, Bigger JT, Hripcsak G.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY To evaluate the generalizability of the results of recent CVOTs on SGLT2i (EMPA-REG OUTCOMES, CANVAS, DECLARE-TIMI 58 and VERTIS-CV) in patients with T2DM in the real world. DESIGN AND METHODS Database of AMD Annals 2018 was used in this study, including all patients cared for by 222 diabetes centers during 2016. Starting from the eligibility criteria adopted in the different trials, the analysis aimed to identify the subjects potentially eligible for each trial, compare their characteristics with those of the population recruited in the trials, and evaluate the current use of these drugs among the potentially eligible patients registered in AMD Annals database. RESULTS The evaluable cases (i.e. presence of information on all eligibility criteria) ranged from 149.064 for the CANVAS to the 342.205 subjects for the EMPAREG-OUTCOME. Overall, the eligible patients in AMD Annals ranged from 40,039 for the EMPAREG OUTCOME study (11.7%) to 144,166 (55.9%) for DECLARE-TIMI 58. The percentage of patients actually treated ranged from 4.4% (6.373) for DECLARE-TIMI 58 to 6.6% (2.917) for CANVAS. As compared to RCTs’ populations, AMD Annals population was older, included a larger proportion of women, showed slightly lower BMI and better metabolic control, and longer diabetes duration. Prevalence of major cardio-cerebrovascular events was lower, while the percentage of subjects with peripheral vasculopathy was higher; the proportion of subjects with reduced glomerular filtrate or albuminuria and diabetic retinopathy was higher. CONCLUSIONS The generalizability of CVOTs’ results to the real world patients is only partial, because the populations are quite different. A very low clinical use of SGLT-2i is documented. This is at least in part due to the strict AIFA criteria for reimbursement, which reduce the proportion of patients who could benefit from treatment with SGLT2i on major cardiovascular events and mortality; however, an identical advantage of the treatment obtained in RCTs cannot be hypothesized in the AMD Annals population.

Abstract Background : Current evidence about the cardiovascular safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1ra) possesses limited generalizability to real-world patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in usual practice. This study aimed to investigate the comparative cardiovascular safety of GLP-1ra in head-to-head comparisons with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), sulfonylurea (SU), and insulin in a real-world population with T2D. Methods : Adults with newly-diagnosed T2D were identified from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database in 2003-2014. A prevalent new-user cohort design was adopted to include a broad representation of real-world T2D patients being treated with GLP-1ra. The between-group comparability of baseline patient characteristics was achieved by matching on (1) initiation time of study drugs, (2) prior exposure to glucose-lowering agents, and (3) diabetes severity and complications, comorbidities, and concomitant cardiovascular medications using propensity scores. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and assessed up to the end of 2015. Cox modeling was employed to assess the association between study drugs and outcomes. Results : A total of 3,195 GLP-1ra stable users was identified in 2011-2014. 1,893, 1,829, and 1,367 GLP-1ra stable users were 1:1 matched to DPP-4i, SU and insulin users, respectively. Compared to DPP-4i, SU and insulin, the use of GLP-1ra was associated with a lower risk of composite CVD events (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.73 [0.57-0.96], 0.76 [0.57-1.00], and 0.81 [0.62-1.07], respectively). Subgroup analyses revealed that GLP-1ra versus DPP-4i yielded a greater cardiovascular benefit in those without established CVD versus those with established CVD. Conclusions : This head-to-head comparison study extends the supporting evidence for the cardiovascular safety of GLP-1ra to a broad spectrum of real-world T2D patients using GLP-1ra.
