About this study

Official title: Effect of Linagliptin + Metformin vs Metformin Alone on the Role of Pancreatic Islet Function, Insulin Resistance and Markers of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Prediabetes: Randomized Clinical Trial

Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide epidemic disease, and preventive strategies are needed to face this health problem. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin + metformin vs metformin alone on physiopathological parameters, such as glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, insulin secretion and pancreatic beta cell function in patients with impaired fasting glucose plus impaired glucose tolerance, during 24 months.

Read the detailed description

The main goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of two different treatments during 24 months:

  1. Lifestyle modification program + metformin 850mg twice daily
  2. Lifestyle modification program + linagliptin (2.5mg) and metformin (850mg) twice daily on the following parameters, after 24 months of treatment:
  3. Glucose metabolism, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance
  4. Insulin resistance, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance in 100% of the patients and by hyperglycemic clamp in 10 % of the patients
  5. Insulin secretion, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance in 100% of the patients and by hyperglycemic clamp in 10 % of the patients
  6. Pancreatic beta cell function, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance in 100% of the patients and by hyperglycemic clamp in 10 % of the patients
  7. Systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors, evaluated by cytokines interlelukin-6 (IL6), C-reactive protein (PCR), and measurement of the intima media thickness by ultrasound.

All the patients will have a basal evaluation with an oral glucose tolerance test, lipid profile, body composition, and IMT measurement by ultrasonography; and 10 % will be invited for the hyperglycemic clamp. After the basal evaluation, if the patients result with IMPAIRED GLUCOSE TOLERANCE and have at least 2 risk factors, they will be invited to the intervention phase where they will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups.

Patients will have a follow-up visit every month to review the adherence to the lifestyle modification program and to the medication. Every 6 months OGTT will be performed on all the patients, and in a subset of patients hyperglycemic clamp will be performed at 0, 6 and 12 months. After 18 and 24 months, patients will repeat the same evaluation performed as the basal evaluation.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Linagliptin + Metformin plus lifestyleExperimentalPatients are randomized to receive for 24 months Linagliptin 2.5mg + metformin 850mg every 12 hours. The start of the dose in this group will be gradual so that at the month of treatment the patient can be with the full doses. Together with this, patients will receive a lifestyle modification program seeking to reduce 5-7% of body weigh and increase physical activity to 90-150min/week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Linagliptin + metformin and Metformin in people with Prediabetic State and Insulin Resistance, run by Universidad de Guanajuato at 1 site in Mexico.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 9 Jul 2019. 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 Mexico. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Change from basal fasting and post2h OGTT glucose levels at 12 and 24 months (time frame: 12 and 24 months). 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 NCT03004612, which also lists 14 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 9 Jul 2019.
