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 12

    HbA1c is measured as a percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 12 HbA1c percent minus the Week 0 HbA1c percent.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose at Week 12

    Change from baseline at Week 12 is defined as fasting plasma glucose at Week 12 minus fasting plasma glucose at Week 0.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in 2 Hour Postprandial Glucose at Week 12

    Change from baseline at Week 12 is defined as 2-hour postprandial glucose Week 12 minus 2-hour postprandial glucose Week 0.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sitagliptin phosphate and Comparator: voglibose in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent, 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 1 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 5 Feb 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 25 Sep 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 12 (time frame: Baseline and Week 12). 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 NCT00411554, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Feb 2016.
