Study title acronymMK-8835-062
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyA non-interventional cohort study will be conducted using the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Innovation in Medical Evidence and Development Surveillance Distributed Database (IMEDS-DD), a subset of the FDA Sentinel Distributed Database. This study will address the research question of whether new use of ertugliflozin is associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), compared to new use of other non-sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor antihyperglycemic agents (AHAs) among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Propensity score matching will be used for confounding adjustment, followed by Cox proportional hazards models for risk estimation.
