Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus first made at age 30 years or older

2. Age 55 years or older at entry

3. Ability to provide informed consent

4. A substantially elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, indicated by:

- A history of major macrovascular disease defined as any one of: stroke,
myocardial infarction, hospital admission for transient ischaemic attack,
hospital admission for unstable angina, coronary artery bypass graft,
percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (with or without stenting),
peripheral revascularisation (angioplasty or surgery) or amputation secondary to
vascular disease or

- A history of major microvascular disease defined as any one of nephropathy
(albumin:creatinine ratio >300ug/mg), retinal photocoagulation therapy,
proliferative retinopathy (new blood vessels on the disc or elsewhere, vitreous
haemorrhage, pre-retinal haemorrhage, or fibrous proliferations on the disc or
elsewhere), macular oedema (retinal thickening within one disc diameter of the
macular centre) or blindness in either eye (corrected visual acuity 6/60 or
worse, persisting for three months or more) not known to be due to non-diabetic
causes or

- A first diagnosis of type 2 diabetes made 10 or more years prior to entry or

- Another major risk factor for vascular disease defined as any one of: current
daily cigarette smoking, total cholesterol greater than 6.0 mmol/l (with or
without cholesterol lowering treatment), HDL cholesterol <1.0 mmol/l,
microalbuminuria (albumin:creatinine ratio 30-300ug/mg) or

- Age 65 years or over
Minimum age
55 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. A definite contraindication to treatment with an ACE inhibitor or a thiazide-like
diuretic

2. A specific indication for treatment with an ACE inhibitor other than perindopril 2-4
mg daily (see also section 5.2.3) or a thiazide-like diuretic

3. A definite and specific indication for treatment with gliclazide or a haemoglobin A1c
control target of 6.5% or less

4. A definite contra-indication to treatment with gliclazide or a haemoglobin A1c control
target of 6.5% or less

5. A definite indication for long-term full-dose or bed-time insulin therapy

6. Participation in a trial within the month prior to the Registration Visit or current
participation in another trial

Other potential reasons for ineligibility include:

- High probability of non-adherence to study treatment or follow-up

- Current clinical instability (e.g. a major cerebral or coronary event or
sight-threatening retinopathy or macular oedema within the previous few weeks)

- Life threatening non-vascular disease other than diabetes and its complications

- Moderate or severe dementia

- Major disability that is likely to prevent regular attendance at study clinics

Final decisions about eligibility were made at the discretion of the study investigator and
the potential study participant, in the light of any requirements or guidance from local
ethics committees and other regulatory bodies.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to provide information on the risks and benefits of routine
blood pressure lowering (regardless of blood pressure level), and intensive lowering of blood
glucose levels, in patients with Type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular events. The
major outcomes of the study will be cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke or dying as a
result of cardiovascular disease), as well as new or worsening diabetic eye and kidney
disease.
