What This Study Did, in Plain Language

What Was Tested

The trial (phase 3) is built around Liraglutide.

It had 1 arm (groups): Liraglutide (experimental).

The registry classes the interventions as drug.

Who Took Part

Enrollment: 35 actual participants took part.

It was open to people of any sex aged from 15 years up to 60 years.

Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.

Examples of who could join: Age from 15 to 60 years. Patients diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes duration more than 1 year.

The full record lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: pregnant patients or desire to become pregnant in the next 6 months; family history of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia 2; history of pancreatitis.

How the Study Was Run

The set-up was single-group and open-label.

Everyone knew when Liraglutide was being given (open label), which is simpler to run but leaves more room for expectations to affect what is reported.

Everyone received the same intervention, so there was no separate comparison group inside the trial.

It started in 2022-07-01 with completion listed for 2023-02-28.

It ran at 1 site in Mexico.

Its stated primary purpose is treatment.

What Was Measured

The main thing measured (primary outcome): To assess the effect of liraglutide on carotid intima media thickness in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (time frame: Baseline and 6 months).

It also tracked 6 secondary outcomes, for example To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers (BMI, weight and abdominal circumference), To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers Laboratory studies (HbA1c) and To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers. eGDR (Estimated glucose disposal rate).

What This Means in Plain Language

Put simply, this is a phase 3 trial of Liraglutide in 35 people.

Its size is small, so on its own it can only give an early look.

The trial is marked completed; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.
