What are the clinical implications of the fact that liraglutide’s benefits were seen in a high risk population that was already on maximal therapy for CV risk reduction?

Given the therapies -- statins, SGLT2 inhibitors, antihypertensive agents, etc. -- we can use to reduce CV risk in T2D patients, where do you see liraglutide fitting in based on LEADER?

Given the multiple diabetes- and non-diabetes-focused therapies — statins, SGLT2 inhibitors, antihypertensive agents, etc. — we can use to reduce CV risk in patients with T2D, where do you see liraglutide fitting in based on LEADER?

Since the reduction in non-fatal MI in the LEADER trial was not significant enough to explain the impressive 22% in CV mortality, what factors do you think might have played a role?

Can you drill down into the results of LEADER, including primary end points and breakdown of MACE events? What did we learn about the dose of liraglutide required for CV outcome improvement?

What is the foundational importance of the LEADER trial and what makes it different and, perhaps, more significant than previous trials evaluating strategies for CV risk reduction in T2D?
