About this study

Official title: A 4-Week, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3b Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Saxagliptin in Combination With Metformin XR 1500 mg Versus Up-titrated Metformin XR to 2000 mg in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control With Diet and Exercise and a Stable Dose of Metformin XR 1500 mg

The purpose of this study was to compare effect of Saxagliptin as add-on to Metformin on 24-hour mean weighted glucose (MWG) to the effect of uptitrating Metformin in subjects with T2DM inadequately controlled on metformin alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in 24-Hour Mean Weighted Glucose (MWG) at Week 4

    Adjusted mean change from baseline in MWG achieved with saxagliptin 5 mg plus metformin XR versus placebo plus metformin XR at Week 24. MWG was calculated as the area under the curve (AUC) for the full 24 hours expressed as average mg/dL. Glucose measurements were collected 30 minutes before and just prior to each meal (0 minutes) and 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes after each meal (with 1 additional measurement at 240 minutes after the evening meal), midnight, 3 AM, and at end-of-domicile visit 24 hours after the first measurement. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline to Week 4 in 2-hour Postprandial Glucose (PPG) (2 Hours After the Evening Meal)

    Adjusted mean change from baseline in 2-hour postprandial (after mealtime) plasma glucose two hours after start of the evening meal during 24-hour domicile visits evaluated both at pre-randomization (baseline) and at Week 4. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

  2. Change From Baseline Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 4, Obtained Immediately Before the Morning Meal

    FPG measurements were done at baseline, day 14 and 28. At baseline and day 28, the FPG value=plasma glucose value collected 30 minutes prior to the morning meal during the domicile visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Saxagliptin and Metformin XR in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 21 sites in 4 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States, Israel, Mexico, Argentina. 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 6 Oct 2011). 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 24-Hour Mean Weighted Glucose (MWG) at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline, Week 4). 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 May 2015.
