Long Term Comparative Effectiveness of Once Weekly Semaglutide Versus Standard of Care in a Real World Adult US Population With Type 2 Diabetes - a Randomized Pragmatic Trial

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of semaglutide (Ozempic®) with the effects of other treatments for type 2 diabetes in a normal practice setting. The participant will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1: semaglutide (Ozempic®) (by injection into skin) Group 2: standard of care antidiabetic medication (oral or injectable). The participant has an equal chance of being in either of the treatment groups. Neither the participant nor the study doctor or study staff will be able to pick which group the participant is in, but the participant will know which study drug the participant has been assigned to. The study doctor will provide the participant with a prescription for the study diabetes medication based on the treatment group the participant is assigned. The participation will last about 2 years.

  68. Percentage of Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) for Study Drug Medication Adherence For The Two Years of The Study

    Time frame: Week 0 to year 2

    Percentage of MPR for study drug medication adherence for the two years of the study is presented. Medication adherence referred to a participant's conformance to the provider's recommendation with respect to timing, dosage, and frequency of medication taken during the prescribed length of time. The MPR was used to assess adherence. MPR was calculated as follows: MPR (%) = Sum of days supply for all prescription fills*100/Total number of days in time period. MPR was capped at 100%. MPR was calculated from pharmacy claims data and irrespective of adherence to randomized treatment or changes to antidiabetic treatment.
