ADVANCE
Julius Clinical coordinated the entire European part of the ADVANCE trial, to date the largest clinical trial in diabetes ever conducted.
Julius Clinical coordinated the entire European part of the ADVANCE trial, to date the largest clinical trial in diabetes ever conducted.
The phase III trial was conducted in more than 20 countries worldwide to investigate the effects of routine antihypertensive therapy and glucose control therapy in more than 11,000 patients with type 2 diabetes. The study found that initial tight control of blood glucose and blood pressure was associated with significant reductions in the risk of renal events, death from cardiovascular causes, and death from any cause, over the next 4-5 years.
The efficient design and large scale of the ADVANCE trial contributed to the large impact that the findings have had on clinical practice in recent years. The ADVANCE-ON trial is currently underway, following up patients from the initial study for a further 5 years to investigate long-term effects.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
ADVANCE had eighteen months for recruitment, an average of five years follow-up and achieved database lock in nine days.
SITE MANEGEMENT AND MONITORING
Julius Clinical had the task to manage the continental European sites from start-up to closure including RA/EC submissions.
DATA MANAGEMENT
For this trial, Julius Clinical created a specific study website in which all data could be entered.
