Outcome Measures
| 1. Primary: | Composite of the First Occurrence of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Nonfatal Stroke [ Time Frame: from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years) ] |
| Measure Type | Primary |
|---|---|
| Measure Title | Composite of the First Occurrence of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Nonfatal Stroke |
| Measure Description |
Number of participants with a first occurrence of one of the above events. The outcome's evaluation is based on the number of such positively-adjudicated first events occurring for patients assigned to the study groups. Assessments of the above events were reviewed by the Event Adjudication Committee who was kept blinded to the group assignment of participants. Statistical analysis is performed on the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the events. Number of participants with a composite endpoint (i.e. with first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal MI or nonfatal stroke) is provided in the first row of the statistical table. |
| Time Frame | from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years) |
| Safety Issue | No |
Population Description
| Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate. |
|---|
|
The analysis was based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population i.e. all randomized participants. For the endpoint's composition, the numbers only summarize the event when it was the first occurrence of the endpoint. A participant is counted only once within a category. The same participant may appear in different categories. |

| 95% Confidence Interval | ( 0.937 to 1.114 ) |
| [1] | Additional details about the analysis, such as null hypothesis and power calculation: |
|---|---|
| The total required number of first coprimary outcomes (2200) assumed that a hazard reduction of 14-16% was clinically significant and controlled the overall experiment-wise Type 1 error at 5% with a power of 80% for each outcome. The total number of participants needed to achieve this number of events within the planned enrollment and treatment periods was ultimately estimated to be 12 500 based on the CURE and HOPE study databases. | |
| [2] | Other relevant information, such as adjustments or degrees of freedom: |
| Log-rank test stratified by double-blind treatment (omega-3 PUFA, placebo), baseline diabetes diagnosis and previous CV event. | |
| [3] | Additional information, such as whether or not the p-value is adjusted for multiple comparisons and the a priori threshold for statistical significance: |
| For the analysis of the two coprimary efficacy outcomes, the overall Type 1 error was partitioned. The first coprimary outcome was tested at 4.4%, whereas the second coprimary outcome was tested at 1% (weighted Hochberg procedure). | |
| [4] | Other relevant estimation information: |
| Hazard ratio (glargine/standard care) estimated by Cox regression model with treatment (glargine, standard care) as factor, stratified by double-blind treatment (omega-3 PUFA, placebo), baseline diabetes diagnosis and previous CV event. |

The outcome's evaluation is based on the number of such positively-adjudicated first events occurring for patients assigned to the study groups. Assessments of the above events were reviewed by the Event Adjudication Committee who was kept blinded to the group assignment of participants.

Symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia, based on data recorded in the participant’s diary. These were further categorized as confirmed (ie, with a concomitant home glucose reading ≤54 mg/dL [≤3.0 mmol/L]) or unconfirmed. Severe hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia in which the participant required the assistance of another person, and one of the following:
