Trial summary

The goal of this study is to test whether a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, compared with a sulfonylurea, improves time in normal blood glucose range and reduces blood glucose variability. Blood glucose is measured using a continuous glucose monitoring device. Read more about this study

About this study

The goal of this study is to test whether a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, compared with a sulfonylurea, improves time in normal blood glucose range and reduces blood glucose variability. Blood glucose is measured using a continuous glucose monitoring device.

Read the detailed description

This is a proof-of-concept clinical trial testing the effects of linagliptin versus glipizide on glucose variability among people with type 2 diabetes and stage 3-4 CKD. In a cross-over design, each enrolled participant will receive 28 days of each study medication. Study medications will be provided in a randomly assigned order without blinding. The primary study outcome is glucose time in range, measured by blinded continuous glucose monitoring for the last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period. Secondary outcomes include indices of glycemic variability, hypoglycemia, and biomarkers of systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and albuminuria. The overall goal of this research is to identify safe and effective treatments to control glycemia among patients with diabetes and CKD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glucose Time in Range

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Glycemic Variability

    SD of glucose readings

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

  2. Hypoglycemia

    Glucose <70 mg/dL for at least 10 minutes

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

  3. Biomarkers of Systemic Inflammation

    Measured by plasma C-reactive protein (CRP)

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

  4. Biomarkers of Systemic Inflammation

    Measured by plasma interleukin-6

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

  5. Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress

    Measured by plasma F2-isoprostanes

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

  6. Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress

    Measured by urine F2-isoprostanes

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

  7. Biomarkers of Albuminuria

    Measured by albumin-creatinine ratio

    Measured: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Linagliptin and Glipizide in people with Chronic Kidney Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Washington at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 12 Oct 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Sep 2018). 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?

Glucose Time in Range (time frame: last 6 days of each 28-day treatment period). 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 12 Oct 2018.
