Complete Title of Study

Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD)

Study Acronym (The trial's abbreviation if there is one)

ACCORD

Principal Investigator, Co-investigators, and Collaborating Institutions

Study Director: Denise Simons-Morton, MD, PhD of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
Study Chair: William Friedewald, MD of Columbia University, New York, NY
Principal Investigator: Robert Byington, PhD of Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC

Overview of Trial

The goal of the ACCORD study was to evaluate the ability of intensive glycemic control, intensive blood pressure control, and multiple lipid management to prevent major cardiovascular events in 10,251 type 2 diabetes patients.

Disease State(s) Studied (e.g. acute MI, breast cancer, etc.)

  • Atherosclerosis
  • Cardiovascular Diseases
  • Hypercholesterolemia
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
  • Coronary Disease

Study Phase (e.g. Phase I,II,III,IV) Study Phases are defined here

Phase III

Study Design (e.g. multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled)

Prevention, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Factorial Assignment, Efficacy Study

Study Arms and How They Were Treated (Intervention) (Explanation here)

  • Experimental: A strategy of intensive glycemia treatment to HbA1 less than 6%
  • Active Comparator: A strategy of multiple drugs to treat HbA1c to 7.0%-7.9%
  • Experimental: A strategy of BP treatment for SBP less than 120 mm Hg
  • Active Comparator: A strategy of BP treatment for SBP less than 140 mm Hg
  • Experimental: Blinded fenofibrate + simvastatin 20-40 mg/d

Primary Pre-Specified Endpoint

First occurence of a major CVD event, specifically nonfatal heart attack, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death (measured throughout the study) [Time Frame: 5-1/2 years]

Secondary Endpoints

Total mortality [Time Frame: 5-1/2 years]

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, as determined by the new American Diabetes Association guidelines, which include a fasting plasma glucose level greater than 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l), or a 2-hour postload value in the oral glucose tolerance test of greater than 200 mg/dl, with confirmation by a retest
  • For participants aged 40 years or older, history of CVD (heart attack, stroke, history of coronary revascularization, history of peripheral or carotid revascularization, or demonstrated angina)
  • For participants aged 55 years or older, a history of CVD is not required, but participant must be considered to be at high risk for experiencing a CVD event due to existing CVD, subclinical disease, or 2+ CVD risk factors
  • HbA1c 7.5%-9% (if on more drugs) or 7.5%-11% (if on fewer drugs)
