LEADER was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled cardiovascular outcome trial of liraglutide in 9,340 adults with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk, followed for a median 3.8 years.[1]
The primary composite outcome occurred in 13.0% of the liraglutide group and 14.9% of the placebo group, a hazard ratio of 0.87 (95% CI 0.78–0.97). Cardiovascular death was reduced, and all-cause mortality was lower in the liraglutide group.[1]
