Safety Of DAPAGLIFLOZIN (FORXIGA) in Patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2dm) In Vietnam From A Post-Marketing Surveillance Program - DAPAPMS

This study is conducted to meet the requirements of the Drug Administration of Vietnam (DAV) on conducting necessary safety evaluations in routine clinical practice for a new medication within 3 years from its date of approval. For the case of the study treatment (dapagliflozin - Forxiga), safety and drug utilization reports have been regularly submitted by AstraZeneca to DAV every 6 months since its date of approval on 25th May 2016. To provide additional evidence on the safety profile of dapagliflozin in real-life settings and support renewing marketing authorizations for Forxiga, AstraZeneca collaborated with eight hospitals across Vietnam to implement this study.

This study is a longitudinal observation on a cohort of 1001 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), newly treated with dapagliflozin at eight hospitals across Vietnam. Adult T2DM patients who were newly treated with dapagliflozin and signed the informed consent form were eligibly recruited. For each recruited subject, the maximum duration of observation was 24 weeks, divided into 4 visits. In the first visit, data on subjects' baseline characteristics was collected. In the later visits, the presence, and the patterns of adverse events during the time treated with dapagliflozin were investigated.
