About this study

Official title: Effects of the Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) Inhibitor Linagliptin on Left Ventricular Myocardial DYsfunction in Patients With Type 2 DiAbetes Mellitus and Concentric Left Ventricular Geometry

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin 5 mg daily versus the corresponding placebo on the LV systolic function (measured by midwall shortening analysis) in patients with T2DM and a documented baseline concentric LV geometry and LV systolic dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

Multicentre, randomized, double blind, parallel group comparison of an DPP-4 inhibitor, linagliptin 5 mg od, versus placebo (1:1) in patients with T2DM and a documented baseline concentric LV geometry and LV systolic dysfunction.

The management of glycemia will be left to the Investigator's judgment informed by clinical guidelines. The Investigator will therefore be allowed to undertake appropriate action, i.e.:

  • Adjust the background antidiabetic treatment.
  • Prescribe an additional antidiabetic medication according to its labeling (with the exclusion of other DPP-4 inhibitor or GLP-1 receptor agonist).

The enrollment period will last 12 months. The patients will be followed up for 48 weeks from randomization.

After the randomization the patients will have a control visit after 2 weeks (Visit 3) and at 3 months from randomization (Visit 4, week 12). At Visit 4 blood samples will be collected.

Afterwards the patients will have one control visit at 24 weeks from randomization (Visit 5) and a final visit at 48 weeks from randomization (Visit 6) with echocardiogram and ECG performed and blood samples collected.

Patients still on study treatment at the time of final visit (Visit 6) will have a post treatment safety follow up (clinical visit or phone contact) 30 days after the study treatment discontinuation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Increase in LV systolic function

    Statistically significant change (equivalent to an increase of 10%) from baseline to 48 weeks of LV systolic function measured by analysis of the MFS (centralized reading).

    Measured: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in diastolic LV function

    • Changes from baseline to 48 weeks of diastolic LV function (centralized reading) classified, in the two moments of evaluation, in 4 stages: normal, mild dysfunction, moderate and severe dysfunction. The efficacy of treatment will be evaluated both in terms of significant reduction of the parameter E / E 'expressed as a continuous variable and as entity improvement of dysfunction analyzed by degrees, as described above.
    • Changes from baseline to 48 weeks of longitudinal LV systolic function (centralized reading) measured by tissue Doppler (peak systolic velocity of the wave S 'mitral ring); percentage of patients showing an improvement of S '> 25% from baseline.

    Measured: 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Linagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction, run by Heart Care Foundation at 19 sites in Italy.

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 8 inclusion and 14 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 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Italy. 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 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?

Increase in LV systolic function (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 NCT02851745, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 May 2021.
