What this trial is about
GOLD-STANDARD is a pragmatic, open-label pilot randomized controlled trial evaluating the feasibility, safety, and implementation of an early goal-directed Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) care strategy compared with usual care in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease who are at increased cardiovascular risk. Participants will be followed for 12 months to assess treatment uptake, adherence, retention, and safety outcomes, and to inform the design of a future definitive trial.
