Mean Difference: 6.1 (95% CI 2.7–9.4)
Absolute Event Rate: 23.4% vs 18.4%

Gerstein et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Type 2 diabetes and recent acute coronary syndrome (n=5,551). Lixisenatide vs. Matching placebo was evaluated on Percent change from baseline in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) (MD 6.1%, 95% CI 2.7-9.4, p=<0.001). Lixisenatide resulted in a 6.1% greater reduction in BNP and a 7.1% greater reduction in NT-proBNP compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and recent acute coronary syndrome.
