About this study

Official title: Does the DPP4 Inhibitor Sitagliptin Have a Role in Preventing Type 2 Diabetes- A Randomised Controlled Study.

The hypothesis is, in subjects with persistent impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) , sitagliptin will decrease the conversion rate to diabetes as compared to a placebo in three years.

Read the detailed description

The DPP-4 inhibitor Sitagliptin may be a suitable preventive agent in subjects with IGT or IFG on account of observed functional improvements in islet cell function and potential protective effect on beta cell mass.

Objectives of the study

  1. Primary objectives :
  • To test whether the DPP4 inhibitor Sitagliptin is effective in preventing conversion of IGT to diabetes when compared with a placebo.
  1. Secondary objectives:
  • To assess rates of reversal from IGT to Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) in IGT patients administered Sitagliptin
  • To assess the effect of Sitagliptin on measure of beta cell function and insulin resistance in patients with IGT.

Study design

Double blind placebo controlled, parallel group study - three years follow up .

Subjects with IGT in the age group of 30-55 years (n=900) will be identified by screening with a standard OGTT. Selected subjects will be randomized to the control arm using placebo and the two study arms using Sitagliptin. At baseline all group will receive a standard advice on lifestyle modification. The dose of sitagliptin will be 100 mg/d. The subjects will be reviewed at 6 monthly intervals and repeat OGTT will be done annually.

Proforma containing details of anthropometry, occupation, physical activity, diet habits, details of medications, regularity of treatment and biochemical investigations will be filled up at each interview.

Investigations:

Initial Screening

  1. Demographic data
  2. Height, weight, waist and hip measurements.
  3. Details of family history of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
  4. History of any other major illness.
  5. History of blood pressure and measurements.
  6. Details of education and occupation.
  7. Diet habits will be analyzed by dietician.
  8. Details of physical activity will be assessed by a questionnaire.

Laboratory investigations:

  1. Initial OGTT
  2. Plasma glucose and HbA1c.
  3. Lipid profile
  4. Liver function tests
  5. Serum amylase and serum lipase
  6. Plasma insulin
  7. 12 lead ECG.

Review analysis:

  1. Review will be done with all clinical and biochemical assessment annually.
  2. Evaluation of adherence to prescription will be done at 6 monthly intervals.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1. Rate of conversion of IGT to diabetes. 2. Relative reduction of incidence of diabetes by Sitagliptin among people with IGT compared to Placebo. 3. Increase in reversal of IGT to NGT

    Measured: At intervals -6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1. Beneficial effects in beta cell function. 2. Changes in insulin resistance 3. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors by Sitagliptin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sitagliptin and life style modification at base line in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by India Diabetes Research Foundation & Dr. A. Ramachandran's Diabetes Hospitals at 1 site in India.

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 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 2015. 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 India. 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.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

1. Rate of conversion of IGT to diabetes. 2. Relative reduction of incidence of diabetes by Sitagliptin among people with IGT compared to Placebo. 3. Increase in reversal of IGT to NGT (time frame: At intervals -6 months). 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 NCT01038648, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2015.
