ELIXA was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, done at 828 sites in 49 countries.
Patients with type 2 diabetes and a recent coronary artery event were randomly assigned (1:1) to a daily subcutaneous injection of lixisenatide (10-20 μg) or volume-matched placebo, in addition to usual care, until at least 844 patients had an adjudicated major adverse cardiovascular event included…
