  • Males or females between 18 and 80 years old. Female patients must be surgically sterile, post-menopausal, or using an accepted method of birth control (i.e., oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, Norplant® system, Depo Provera®, or a spermicide and condom). Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and be advised not to become pregnant during the study.
  • At least 1 year history of NIDDM and performing home blood glucose monitoring.
  • Patients must have BMI of > 26 to < 42 kg/m2 at baseline (week 0).
  • Patients must have HbA1C > 7.5% but < 9.5% at screen (week -4).
  • Patients must have evidence of insulin secretory capacity (fasting C-peptide concentration > or equal to 0.27 nmol/l during the stabilization period).

  • Patients must have FPG > 130 mg/dl but < 235 mg/dl prior to (within 48-72 hours) randomization at Visit 1 Week 0.
  • Patients must be receiving as their current diabetic therapy stable doses of metformin (at dose of 1.0-2.5gm/day), or metformin extended release at a maximum dose of 2 gm/day and a half maximum to a maximum dose of thiazolidinedione for at least 3 months.
  • Patients must be able to understand and willing to adhere to and be compliant with the study protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who require insulin therapy or are currently on other sulfonylureas.
  • Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to sulfonylureas.
  • Patients with past history of severe hypoglycemia reaction on their current antidiabetic therapy requiring medical attention.
  • Patients with a history of acute metabolic complications such as hyperosmolar coma or ketonuria.
  • Patients with clinically significant abnormal baseline laboratory values (hematology, blood chemistry or urinalysis) which define a disease or condition, which in the opinion of the investigator may either put the patient at risk because of participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the patient's ability to participate and complete the study. Should there be a laboratory value which, upon initial screening, is substantially outside the normal range, the test should be repeated.
  • Patients who had an increase in their thiazolidinedione medication within 2 months of entering the study (Visit 0).
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Patients who had an increase in the metformin medication within 1 month of entering the study (Visit 0).
  • Patients whose body weight has changed more than 2% for patients < 250 pounds or 3% for patients >= 250 pounds, during the 4 week stabilization period when compared to the weight at the screening visit 0 (week - 4).
  • Patients with acute infections.
  • Patients who have received any drug (i.e. a chemotherapy agent) with a well-defined potential for toxicity to a major organ system during the three months prior to the study.
  • Patients with clinically significant renal or hepatic disease (i.e. ALT > 2.5 x upper limit of normal) or gastrointestinal disorders that may interfere with absorption of the study drugs.
  • Patients who are allergic to sulfonamides and excipients.
  • Patients with any history of alcohol or drug abuse.
  • Pregnant or lactating females will be excluded.
  • Patients with a history of psychosis, emotional or intellectual problems that could impair the ability of the patient to participate in the study or to complete the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Glimepiride in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent, run by Sanofi at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in HbA1C from baseline to Week 26.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jun 2008.
