ABSTRACT
Although the outcomes of the follow-up investigation period of the randomized clinical studies for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment or an antidiabetic drug may be confounded or potentially biased by several factors, the results are widely accepted by the diabetes community. In line with the theory of metabolic memory or metabolic legacy, early and intensive antihyperglycaemic treatment should be provided for all diabetic patients as this strategy can result in beneficial effects even in the long run. The recent cardiovascular safety trials with new, innovative antidiabetic drugs differ in several aspects from the former efficacy studies. Ten cardiovascular safety trials were completed so far enabling to define their unique and common features. It can be anticipated that the era of randomized, controlled efficacy studies with observational follow-up investigations came to an end in diabetes research. Nowadays, cardiovascular safety trials are in the focus of clinical research in diabetology and results of several ongoing studies are expected with interest in the near future.
