Trial summary

Type 2 diabetes have become a major global health problem. Currently, metformin is used as first-line therapy in combination with lifestyle changes, and sitagliptin can be added to metformin in case of insufficient glycemic control by metformin alone, and fixed-dose combination of sitagliptin and metformin is… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Genetic Variation in the Transporters on Glycemic Response and Pharmacokinetics of Sitagliptin and Metformin

Type 2 diabetes have become a major global health problem. Currently, metformin is used as first-line therapy in combination with lifestyle changes, and sitagliptin can be added to metformin in case of insufficient glycemic control by metformin alone, and fixed-dose combination of sitagliptin and metformin is available.

In clinical practice, inter-individual variations in response to sitagliptin and metformin treatment are commonly found, which may reflect inter-patient differences in disposition of these medications.

Sitagliptin and metformin are known as substrates of some transporters (P-gp, OAT3, OCT1 and OCT2) and some functional variations of these transporters were reported. This study is designed to clarify the effect of these transporter variants on response to sitagliptin and metformin in type 2 DM patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. differences of sitagliptin and metformin trough concentration according to genetic variations of transporters

    Measured: After 3 months of sitagliptin and metformin treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. differences of HbA1c change according to genetic variations of transporters

    Measured: Baseline and after 3 months of sitagliptin and metformin treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes, run by Ajou University School of Medicine 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 26 Mar 2014. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

differences of sitagliptin and metformin trough concentration according to genetic variations of transporters (time frame: After 3 months of sitagliptin and metformin treatment). 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 26 Mar 2014.
