Brief Summary:
This research will help us to learn if the medicine called metformin reduces the risk of death, heart attacks, and/or strokes in patients who have pre-diabetes and heart or blood vessel problems.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Prediabetic State Atherosclerosis Metformin Drug: Metformin XR Drug: Placebo Phase 4

Detailed Description:

CSP #2002 is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double blind, secondary prevention trial to test the hypothesis that treatment with metformin, compared with placebo, reduces mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in patients with pre-diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Qualifying patients have pre-diabetes defined by HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, or oral glucose tolerance test criteria; clinically evident coronary, cerebrovascular, or peripheral arterial atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; and estimated glomerular filtration rate of at least 45 mL/min/1.73 m2; and do not fulfill any exclusion criteria. Patients who are eligible and agree to participate are randomly assigned to treatment with metformin XR (titrated to a maximum dose of 2000 mg daily based on safety and tolerability) or matching placebo. All patients receive counseling on therapeutic lifestyle recommendations.

CSP #2002 had a Pilot Phase trial from 2/2019 to 1/2021 and was approved for the full-scale trial, with projected full-scale launch in 10/2022.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Metformin
Participants receive initial treatment with metformin XR 500 mg 1 tablet daily, with stepwise titration to a maximum dose of 2000 mg (4 tablets) daily.
 Drug: Metformin XR
The study medication dose may be increased by a step-wise fashion up to a maximum of 4 tablets per day.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants receive initial treatment with 1 tablet daily of placebo (for metformin XR), with stepwise titration to a maximum of 4 tablets daily.
 Drug: Placebo

For patients < 80 years of age at the time of a study visit, and with most recent eGFR 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, study medication dose may be increased in a stepwise fashion to a maximum of 4 tablets daily, corresponding to metformin XR 2000 mg or matching placebo.

For patients 80 years of age or with most recent 30 eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, the maximum dose of study medication is 2 tablets daily, corresponding to metformin XR 1000 mg or matching placebo


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time in days to death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or symptom-driven coronary revascularization [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 4.5 years ]
    The primary outcome measure is the time to first occurrence of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina with objective evidence of acute myocardial ischemia, or coronary revascularization driven by acute or progressive symptoms.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time in days to Cardiovascular Outcomes [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 4.5 years ]
    • Time to first occurrence of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke
    • Time to first occurrence of a primary endpoint event, peripheral arterial disease event, or hospitalization for congestive heart failure
    • Cumulative incidence of all components of the primary endpoint, including recurrent or multiple events in the same participant
    • Cumulative incidence and time to first occurrence of each component of the primary outcome measure, peripheral arterial disease events, and hospitalization for congestive heart failure

  2. Time in days to Oncologic Outcome [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 4.5 years ]
    Time to new or recurrent diagnosis of a malignancy or death from a malignancy

  3. Time in days to Diabetes Outcome [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 4.5 years ]
    Time to new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes

  2. Established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Qualifying participants must have evidence of atherosclerotic disease in at least one of the following vascular beds: coronary, cerebrovascular, or peripheral arterial circulation.

Coronary artery disease is fulfilled by at least one of (1), (2), or (3):

  1. History of myocardial infarction at least one month prior to randomization.
  2. History of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass surgery at least one month prior to randomization.
  3. Angiographic evidence of coronary stenosis of at least 50% in at least two major epicardial coronary arteries.
