  • No washout of medications allowed
  • Women of child-bearing potential are allowed (but must agree to use non-hormonal contraception and not plan to become pregnant for the duration of the study). Must agree to maintain the same contraceptive measures throughout the study. Acceptable contraceptive methods for female subjects of childbearing potential include one of the following:

  • Tubal ligation
  • Copper-containing intrauterine device (IUD)
  • Condom AND spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository
  • Male partner who has had a vasectomy for at least 6 months.
  • It is required that all male subjects use an acceptable method of contraception (as outlined below), starting from the first dose of study medication and continuing for at least 28 days after the last dose of study drug:
  • Abstinence
  • A condom AND one of the following:
  • Vasectomy for more than 6 months
  • Female partner who meets one of the following conditions:
  • Has had a tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy; or
  • Is post menopausal (menopause is defined as over the age of 60 years, or between 45 and 60 years being amenorrheic for at least 2 years with plasma (FSH) level > 30 UI/L) or

Who cannot join

  • Subjects presenting with any of the following will not be included in the study:
  • Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, neoplastic, or allergic or clinical findings at Screening (seasonal allergies allowed).

Show all 18Show fewer
  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study medication.
  • 12 lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 msec at Screening for males, 470 msec for females. If QTc exceeds 450/470 msec, the ECG should be repeated two more times and the average of the three QTc values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility. An ECG with evidence for possible old myocardial infarction will need to have prior ECGs to document stability of finding.
  • Supine blood pressure >=140 mm Hg (systolic) or 90 mm Hg (diastolic), on a single measurement. If elevated, confirm by a single repeat, following at least 10 minutes of rest.
  • Screening serum alanine transaminase (ALT) or serum aspartate transaminase (AST) greater than 2X the upper limit of the laboratory reference range.
  • Elevated fasting triglycerides at screening (>500 mg/dL), confirmed by a single repeat if deemed necessary.
  • Pregnant or nursing females; inability to use effective contraception.
  • Blood donation of approximately 1 pint (500 mL) within 56 days prior to dosing.
  • Participation in a clinical biomedical research study within prior two months may be excluded, depending on study type and details.
  • History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, if utilized by the site for blood draws.
  • Unwilling or unable to comply with directions and procedures described in this protocol.
  • Subject is the Investigator or a sub-Investigator, research assistant, pharmacist, study coordinator, other staff, or a relative of study personnel directly involved with the conduct of the study.
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

About this study

Official title: Dynamic Responsiveness of Insulin Secretory Parameters to Sitagliptin and Glimeperide Administration in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Open Label Study

A multi-year clinical study to improve tools for measuring the function of insulin-producing beta cells in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

A three-year observational study to standardize the meal tolerance and maximal stimulation tests for measuring beta cell function in the clinical setting. It also aims to improve methods for the early prediction of the long-term response to an intervention and for identification of patients at risk for rapid beta cell function deterioration, thereby enabling future clinical studies that examine diabetes progression.

The objective of this protocol is to establish the dynamic responsivity of the methods to treatment with glimerpiride or sitagliptin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glimepiride, Sitagliptin and Metformin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.

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 28 inclusion and 18 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 14 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Beta Cell Function as measured by the mixed meal tolerance test in response to two therapies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (time frame: Up to 6 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 May 2015.
