Primary scope : Risk assessment
12. Main objective(s)
What is the main objective of the study?
The objective of this study is to estimate and compare the incidence of thyroid neoplasm and pancreatic cancer among initiators of exenatide once weekly compared with users of other oral antidiabetic agents.
Are there primary outcomes?Yes
Incidence of thyroid neoplasm and pancreatic cancer.
Are there secondary outcomes?Yes
To describe the incidence of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) among initiators of exenatide once weekly and matched control cohort of other anti-diabetic drugs.
To estimate the incidence of new-onset benign thyroid neoplasm among initiators of exenatide once weekly compared to a matched control cohort of other anti-diabetic drugs.
13. Study design
What is the design of the study?
Prospective and retrospective cohort study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Yes
Please describe duration of follow up
Patient outcomes and follow-up information will be obtained through linkage of the patient database to Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), death certificates and cancer registry.
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
Risk of cancers in relation to the exposure to exenatide once weekly will be estimated in terms of incidence and relative risk as compared with exposure to other anti-diabetic treatment. Patients will be matched based on their baseline characteristics. Intent-to-treat analysis will be performed using Cox regression analysis. Time-dependent analysis will be additionally conducted based on current and past exposure to the study drugs.
