Scientists use insurance data to forecast major drug trial outcome

NCT ID NCT07088718

Summary

This study aimed to predict the results of a major heart drug trial before it finishes. Researchers analyzed health insurance records from over 44,000 people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease to see if one diabetes drug (tirzepatide) is better than another (dulaglutide) at preventing heart attacks, strokes, or death. The goal was to test how well real-world health data can be used to forecast the results of carefully controlled clinical trials.
