Trial summary

It is well established that inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV reduces glucose levels and preserves pancreatic beta cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes. DPP-IV inhibitors stimulate insulin secretion as well as insulin biosynthesis and inhibit glucagon secretion from pancreas by increasing incretin… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Sitagliptin Add-on Therapy and Insulin Dose Increase Therapy for Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin Therapy

It is well established that inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV reduces glucose levels and preserves pancreatic beta cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes. DPP-IV inhibitors stimulate insulin secretion as well as insulin biosynthesis and inhibit glucagon secretion from pancreas by increasing incretin (GLP-1) levels. Recent studies reported that combination therapy with DPP-IV inhibitors and other oral antidiabetic medication have additive or synergistic effects in lowering glycose level, preserving beta-cell mass and function as well as enhancing insulin sensitivity. However, there have been few studies about the glucose lowering effect of DPP-IV inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes on insulin treatment.

The researchers hypothesized that DPP-IV inhibitor add-on therapy to insulin treatment may have favorable effects on glucose control and endogenous insulin secretory function in type 2 diabetic patients. The researchers plan to compare between sitagliptin (DPP-IV inhibitor) add-on therapy and insulin dose increase therapy in uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on insulin treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing sitagliptin and insulin dose increase in people with Diabetes, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 25 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The change of HbA1C (time frame: 24weeks). 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 NCT01100125, 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 25 Oct 2013.
