What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 52

    HbA1c is measured as percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 52 HbA1c percent minus the Week 0 HbA1c percent.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 104

    HbA1c is measured as percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 104 HbA1c percent minus the Week 0 HbA1c percent.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 104

  2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 52

    Change from baseline at Week 52 is defined as Week 52 minus Week 0.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  3. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 104

    Change from baseline at Week 104 is defined as Week 104 minus Week 0.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 104

  4. Hypoglycemic Events at Week 52

    Number of participants who reported 1 or more episodes of the adverse experience (AEs) of hypoglycemia.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 52

  5. Hypoglycemic Events at Week 104

    Number of participants who reported 1 or more episodes of the adverse experience of hypoglycemia.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

  6. Number of Participants With Clinical Adverse Experiences (CAEs) at Week 104

    An adverse experience (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

  7. Number of Participants With Serious CAEs at Week 104

    Serious CAEs are any AEs occurring at any dose that; Results in death; or Is life threatening; or Results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or Results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; or Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or Is a cancer; or Is an overdose.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

  8. Number of Participants With Drug-related CAEs at Week 104

    Participants with drug-related (as assessed by an investigator who is a qualified physician according to his/her best clinical judgment) CAEs.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

  9. Number of Participants With Laboratory Adverse Experiences (LAEs) at Week 104

    A laboratory adverse experience (LAE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR'S product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

  10. Number of Participants With Serious LAEs at Week 104

    Serious LAEs are any LAEs occurring at any dose that: results in death; or is life threatening; or results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is a cancer; or is an overdose.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

  11. Number of Participants With Drug-related LAEs at Week 104

    Participants with drug-related (as assessed by an investigator who is a qualified physician according to his/her best clinical judgment) LAEs.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 104

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sitagliptin (MK0431) and Comparator: glipizide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 26 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 52 (time frame: Baseline and Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00094770, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 26 Aug 2016.
