About this study

Official title: A 52-Week International, Multi-centre, Randomised, Parallel-group, Double-blind, Active-controlled, Phase III Study With a 156-Week Extension Period to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin in Combination With Metformin Compared With Sulphonylurea in Combination With Metformin in Adult Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycaemic Control on Metformin Therapy Alone.

This study is being carried out to see if dapagliflozin as an addition to metformin is effective and safe in treating patients with type 2 diabetes when compared to glipizide (sulphonylurea) as an addition to metformin treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels

    To assess the effect of dapagliflozin plus metformin compared to glipizide plus metformin on the absolute change from baseline in HbA1c level after 52 weeks double-blind treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycaemic control on 1500 mg/day or higher doses of metformin therapy alone.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 52

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight

    To assess the effect of dapagliflozin plus metformin compared to glipizide plus metformin on body weight after 52 weeks double-blind treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 52

  2. Proportion of Participants With at Least One Episode of Hypoglycemia

    To assess the effect of dapagliflozin plus metformin treatment compared to glipizide plus metformin on the occurrence of hypoglycemic events. Least Squares Mean represents the percent of participants adjusted for HbA1c baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 52

  3. Proportion of Participants With Body Weight Reduction of at Least 5%

    To evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin plus metformin compared to glipizide plus metformin on body weight assessed by a reduction after 52 weeks of at least 5% compared to baseline. Least Squares Mean represents the percent of participants adjusted for baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dapagliflozin, glipizide and metformin hydrochloride in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 76 sites in 10 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 30 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 76 sites in Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Argentina, Sweden and 5 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Aug 2013). 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?

Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels (time frame: Baseline to 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 NCT00660907, which also lists 2 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 30 Mar 2015.
