About this study

Sitagliptin is a new oral hypoglycemic anti-diabetic drug used either alone or in combination with metformin or a thiazolidinedione for control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin has been shown to have fewer side effects in the control of blood glucose values.

Obesity and diabetes are states of increased inflammation and can influence the free radicals and inflammatory markers (chemicals in the blood which increase due to inflammation in the body) and are also major risk factors for atherosclerotic disease. In this study we want to see the effect of sitagliptin on these markers. We believe that Sitagliptin may exert an anti-inflammatory effect in the human. The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of sitagliptin to diabetic patients will provide added benefit. We believe that sitagliptin provides these added benefits by suppressing free radicals (charged substances that cause damage to the body) and inflammation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Generation by MNC, Protein and mRNA Expression of p47phox Subunit of NADPH Oxidase, in MNC's of Obese Type 2 Diabetic Patients

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Oxidative Stress From Baseline to 12 Weeks

    To investigate that therapy with sitagliptin orally daily (100 mg) for 12 weeks decreases oxidized lipids (9-hydroxyoctadecadienoicacid (9-HODE) and 13-HODE) in plasma and F2-isoprostane in urine of obese type 2 diabetic patients

    Outcome measures given are calculated from the baseline - 12 weeks.

    Measured: value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Januvia (Sitagliptin) 100 mg in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University at Buffalo 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 21 Jul 2022. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jul 2022). 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 in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Generation by MNC, Protein and mRNA Expression of p47phox Subunit of NADPH Oxidase, in MNC's of Obese Type 2 Diabetic Patients (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 21 Jul 2022.
