Study testing whether strict glucose control lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes. In addition the study is exploring: 1) Whether in the context of good glycemic control the use of different lowering lipid drugs will further improve these outcomes and 2) If strict control of blood pressure will also have additional beneficial effects on reducing cardiovascular disease. The design was a randomized, multicenter, double 2 X 2 factorial trial in 10,251 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was designed to test the effects on major CVD events of intensive glycemia control, of fibrate treatment to increase HDL-cholesterol and lower triglycerides (in the context of good LDL-C and glycemia control), and of intensive blood pressure control (in the context of good glycemia control), each compared to an appropriate control. All 10,251 participants were in an overarching glycemia trial. In addition, one 2 X 2 trial addressed the lipid question in 5,518 of the participants and the other 2 X 2 trial addressed the blood pressure question in 4,733 of the participants. The glycemia trial was terminated early due to higher mortality in the intensive compared with the standard glycemia treatment strategies. The results were published in June 2008 (N Eng J Med 2008;358:2545-59). Study-delivered treatment for all ACCORD participants was stopped on June 30, 2009, and the participants were assisted as needed in transferring their care to a personal physician. The lipid and blood pressure results (as well as the microvascular outcomes and eye substudy results) were published in 2010. All participants are continuing to be followed in a non-treatment observational study.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. Archiving services, insertional site analysis, pharmacology and toxicology resources, and reagent repository for academic investigators and others conducting gene therapy research. Databases and educational resources are open to everyone. Other services are limited to gene therapy investigators working in academic or other non-profit organizations. Stores reserve or back-up clinical grade vector and master cell banks. Maintains samples from any gene therapy related Pharmacology or Toxicology study that has been submitted to FDA by U.S. academic investigator that require storage under Good Laboratory Practices. For certain gene therapy clinical trials, FDA has required post-trial monitoring of patients, evaluating clinical samples for evidence of clonal expansion of cells. To help academic investigators comply with this FDA recommendation, the NGVB offers assistance with clonal analysis using LAM-PCR and LM-PCR technology.

Platform for prospective epidemiologic study conducted in four U.S. communities. One of most significant and longest running heart health studies and is the largest study of heart health in African Americans. ARIC investigates risk factors for heart disease and stroke, and connections between cardiovascular and cognitive health. ARIC includes two parts: Cohort Component and Community Surveillance Component. Cohort Component began in 1987, and each ARIC field center randomly selected and recruited cohort sample of individuals aged 45-64 from defined population in their community, to receive extensive examinations, including medical, social, and demographic data. In Community Surveillance Component, four communities are investigated to determine long term trends in hospitalized myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease deaths in men and women aged 35-84 years.
