E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The principal question is whether Lirgalutide improves cardiac function (as measured by left-ventricular function) to a greater extent than Sitagliptin in younger adults with type 2 diabetes who are likely to present with abnormalities. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary research ojecticves include: 1) Liraglutide therapy leads to greater improvements in the composite outcome of HbA1c <7.0%, no weight gain and no major or minor hypoglycaemiac compared to Sitagliptin 2)Liraglutide therapy leads to greater reductions in HbA1c compared to Sitagliptin 3)Liraglutide therapy leads to greater weight loss compared to Sitagliptin 4)Liraglutide therapy leads to improved endothelial function compared to Sitagliptin 5)Liraglutide therapy leads to greater renal sodium excretion compared to Sitagliptin 6)Liraglutide therapy does not increase baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability compared with Sitagliptin 7)Liragludite therapy leads to improved cardiorespiratory fitness ccompared to Sitagliptin 8)Liraglutide therapy is associated with improved quality of lifestyle and treatment satisfaction compared to Sitagliptin |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary outcome measure for this study is change in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction at 26 weeks (6 months)post intervention. This will be determined by peak end diastolic strain rate measured via tagged cardiac MRI - the gold standrad technique. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Cardiac MRI will be preformed at baseline (time-point -2 weeks) and at 26 weeks (6 months) follow-up |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
There are a host of secondary outcomes which are listed below 1) Other measures of cardiac function: • Peak Systolic Strain • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction • stroke volume • LV end-diastolic volume • LV end-systolic volume • LV end-diastolic mass • Left Ventricular End Diastolic Mass/volume ratio • Pre-and post contrast T1 mapping to calculate volume of distribution, a marker of diffuse cardiac fibrosis • Myocardial Perfusion Reserve ( a measure of microvascular function) Biochemical variables • HbA1c, • Liver Function Tests • plasma vitamin D • Lipid profile including total-, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides • Thyroid function tests Albuminuria and microalbuminuria • Urine Sodium and biocarbonate excretion Inflammatory variables • Interleukin-6 • C-reactive protein • Leptin • Adiponectin Anthropometric variables • BMI • Weight • Percentage body fat • Waist Circumference • Systolic and Diastolic Blood pressure • Heart rate (after resting seated for • at least 5 minutes) • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) via spectral analysis Endothlial function • Serum ICAM-1 measurement MRI defined adiposity • Subcutaneous, visceral and hepatic adiposity volumes (measured through semi-automated analysis) Quality of life and depression • EQ5D • Hospital anxiety and depression score (HADS) Treatment satisfaction • DTSQ Medication usage Hypoglycemia - self-reported in a standardized hypoglycemia diary. Participants will be enabled to self-monitor their glucose levels throughout the course of the trial And other adverse events |
