About this study

Official title: The Comparative Study of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitor and Sulfonylurea on the Effect of Improving Glucose Variability and Oxidative Stress in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin

This research will focus on the effect of Sitagliptin on 24 hour glycemic excursion and improvement of oxidative stress markers compared to long acting sulphonylurea Glimepiride in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin

Read the detailed description

Sitagliptin might improve not only the mean glycemic control during study period but also 24 hour glycemic fluctuation by restoring the physiologic pattern of insulin secretion. Furthermore decrease postprandial glycemic excursion should decrease the oxidative stress markers. Those effects might be amplified in Asian patients because of prominent early phase insulin secretory defects accompanied with relatively less degree of insulin resistance. Based on this assumption, this research will focus on the effect of Sitagliptin on 24 hour glycemic excursion and improvement of oxidative stress markers compared to long acting sulphonylurea Glimepiride in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sitagliptin and Glimepiride in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 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 South Korea. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kun-Ho Yoon, M.D., Ph.D. (82-2-590-1402, yoonk@catholic.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glucose variability (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT00699322, 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 29 Oct 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
