About this study

Official title: Phase III Study on the Effect of Sitagliptin on Maximal Beta Cell Stimulation

The study is designed to investigate the effect of 18 weeks treatment with Sitagliptin 100 mg/day on the insulin secretion capacity of beta cells.

Patients who meet the study enrollment criteria will undergo 2 experiments (see description below); a graded hyperglycemic technique and a meal test, prior to randomization and after a 12-wk double-blind study period. The treatment effect will shed light on the magnitude of the beta cell capacity to increase its mass and function.

Read the detailed description

Study design and duration: This will be an Israeli three center study. Study drug: Sitagliptin 100 mg. The study will be a double blind, randomized two arms parallel group study. The duration of the study will be up to 18 weeks (with 8 visits) for each patient. This will include: a screening period of up to 4 weeks (Visit 1 to visit 2), a 2 week single blind, placebo run-in period (visit 2 to visit 4), and a 12 week placebo controlled, double blind treatment period (visit 4 to visit 8).

Patients with T2DM who have not been treated with an AHA, or who are on AHA monotherapy or low dose oral combination therapy (low dose defined as ≤50% of the maximum labeled dose of each agent), may participate if they meet all enrollment criteria. Patients eligible to be randomized will have a HbA1c ³6.5% and £10% .

Patients who meet the study enrollment criteria will undergo 2 experiments (see description below); a graded hyperglycemic technique and a meal test, prior to randomization (Visit 3 and 4). These experiments will be will be completed after a 12-hour overnight fast. The 2 experiments will be repeated at the conclusion of the 12-wk double-blind study period (Visits 7 and 8).

Efficacy measurements: (1) Glycemic control : FPG, HbA1c, β-cell Function Parameters(Φs, Φd, Φb, Φ, Φob, T), Insulin Secretion Rate (determined from C-peptide deconvolution), 1st and 2nd phase insulin secretion, Insulin response after arginine injection, Insulin sensitivity index, glucose, insulin, C-peptide total and incremental area under the curve.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sitagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 8 inclusion and 13 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 23 Sep 2009. 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 Israel. 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?

FPG,. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Sep 2009.
