What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EmpagliflozinDrug

    In empagliflozin group, patients will be prescribed empagliflozin 10mg/day.

  • SitagliptinDrug

    In sitagliptin group, patients will be prescribed sitagliptin 100mg/day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent change in global myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) index

    Percent change in global myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) index defined as (global MPR index at 6 months - global MPR index at baseline)/(global MPR index at baseline)x100.

    MPR index=stress myocardial flow/rest myocardial flow

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percent change in regional MPR index

    Percent change in regional MPR index defined as (regional MPR index at 6 months - regional MPR index at baseline)/(regional MPR index at baseline)x100.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Absolute change in regional MPR index

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Absolute change in global MPR index

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Empagliflozin and Sitagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Disease, run by CHEOL WHAN LEE, M.D., Ph.D at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 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 South Korea. 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?

Percent change in global myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) index (time frame: 6 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 NCT03208465, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Aug 2019.
