Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess whether Active Risk Identification and Analysis (ARIA) system tools could replicate the results of prior protocol-based assessments (PBAs) that evaluated acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and hospitalized heart failure risk following saxagliptin or sitagliptin use in comparison to long-acting insulins, pioglitazone, and second-generation sulfonylureas in the Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD). The study found that Sentinel modular programs were able to reproduce findings of prior PBAs which did not indicate an increased risk of AMI or hospitalized heart failure associated with saxagliptin or sitagliptin exposure.
