About this study

The present study will recruit 9 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patient to receive sitagliptin 100mg daily for 12 weeks. The aim of this study was to investigate the composition of gut microbiota before and after the therapy of sitagliptin.

Read the detailed description

The present study will included 9 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patient to receive sitagliptin 100mg daily for 12 weeks. These patients will receive 75g oral glucose tolerance test and fasting plasma glucose levels, lipids levels, fasting insulin levels and 2 hour post-load plasma glucose levels will be measured. Stool samples will be collected before the initiation of the use of sitagliptin. After 12 weeks, all patients will have fasting plasma glucose levels, lipids levels, fasting insulin levels tested. Stool samples will be collected again.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sitagliptin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University.

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 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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 changes of the composition of gut microbiota before and after the use of sitagliptin (time frame: 12 weeks). 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.
