  • "Secondary outcomes will include change in urine albumin creatine ratio, adherence, which will be assessed by the Morisky Medication Adherence Score - 8 (MMAS-8), pill count at baseline, 1 month and 3 months, and 6 months."
Compensation

  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

This study will investigate the utility of a polypill-based strategy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and high risk of heart failure (HF), as assessed via the WATCH-DM risk score. Polypill therapy will consist of empagliflozin 12.5 mg, losartan 25, 50 or 100 mg, and finerenone 10 mg daily. The study duration is 6 months, and participants will be randomized to either polypill therapy or simultaneous prescription of the individual drugs. The primary outcome is change in peak VO2 and adherence to usual care. The investigators hypothesize that the use of a polypill is feasible and improves medication adherence and peak VO2 as compared to those receiving usual care.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
