Effect of Liraglutide on the Metabolic Profile in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease

• Status: Withdrawn
• Trial end date: 2022-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

In an unbiased metabolomics approach with subsequent pathway analyses, the current study seeks to examine the effect of Liraglutide treatment on the metabolic signature in treated patients as well as the effect of Liraglutide on various echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function and rhythm profile, thus paving the way for future research to explain the effects of Liraglutide on cardiovascular mortality and overall mortality in treated patients.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
