| Abstract: | This article describes some of the major studies on diabetes that are most frequently known by their acronyms. Studies that are completed, currently underway, and anticipated to begin soon are included. Completed studies include the Diabetes Control and Complications Trials (DCCT), the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) study, the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI), the Diabetes List of Goals (DiaLOG), and the Diabetes Mellitus Insulin Glucose Infusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction (DIGAMI) study. Current trials include the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and Atorvastatin as Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease (ASPEN) trial. Newer trials that are anticipated to have an impact on the diabetes community at large include the Diabetes Prevention Trial-IDDM (DPT-1), the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Study (HAPO), the Genetics of Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes (GENNID) study, and A Diabetes Outcome Progression Trial (ADOPT). Three large National Institutes of Health trials that are not yet open for patient recruitment that will attempt to address issues related to cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes are the Study of Health Outcomes and Weight Loss (SHOW), the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study, and the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation II (BARI-II) trial. For each study discussed, the article provides a description of the study design, outcomes when available, and funding sources. The article also provides references regarding where to find information about participating in upcoming studies. 11 references. (AA-M). |
