Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Standard of Care (SOC)Standard of CarePatients will be randomized to receive either dapagliflozin or SOC. As this is a pragmatic trial, there will be no additional interventions (apart from collection of PROs and occurrence of hypoglycaemias) and there will be no restriction on how GPs change the randomized treatment regimen (e.g., switch or add drugs). Patients will be followed up for 2 years (+ 12 weeks = 116 weeks) after randomization, regardless of the status of medication.
Dapagliflozin 10 mgDapagliflozinPatients will be randomized to receive either dapagliflozin or SOC. As this is a pragmatic trial, there will be no additional interventions (apart from collection of PROs and occurrence of hypoglycaemias) and there will be no restriction on how GPs change the randomized treatment regimen (e.g., switch or add drugs). Patients will be followed up for 2 years (+ 12 weeks = 116 weeks) after randomization, regardless of the status of medication.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients achieving clinical success as measured by a 4-item composite endpoint.Assessment of outcome measure will be made at the clinical evaluation that occurs closest to 52 weeks of follow-up (allowing a window of 12 weeks).
