What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a multifactorial intervention (MFI) to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are at high risk of CVD. This phase 3 study includes 2000 participants aged 40 to 90 years with T1D for more than 10 years and additional risk factors such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure, obesity, or a high 10-year CVD risk. The goal is to test whether MFI with ambitious treatment targets can reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) compared to current standard care over a 5-year follow-up period. Participants are randomly assigned by center clusters to either standard care or intensive multifactorial risk-based therapy. The intensive group receives individualized treatment including medications such as semaglutide, sotagliflozin, finerenone, ezetimibe, and PCSK9 inhibitors based on their risk profile. All participants take aspirin 75 mg once daily unless contraindicated. The study uses a prospective, randomized, open-label design with blinded endpoint evaluation to compare outcomes between the groups. During the study, participants undergo regular monitoring of cardiovascular and kidney health, safety assessments, and evaluations of treatment adherence. Researchers will measure time to first MACE or HHF as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include all-cause mortality, kidney function decline, and frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis. The total participation duration is 5 years, with ongoing follow-up to assess the long-term effects of the interventions.
