Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of sitagliptin compared with the addition of dapagliflozin on A1C and the overall safety and tolerability of sitagliptin in comparison to that of dapagliflozin.;Secondary Objective: After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of sitagliptin compared with the addition of dapagliflozin on change from baseline in 2-hr incremental post-prandial glucose excursion and change from baseline in 2-hr post-prandial glucose. To assess, in a subset of subjects, the effect of the addition of sitagliptin compared with that of dapagliflozin on change from baseline in post-prandial insulin AUC, glucagon AUC, and insulin AUC: glucagon AUC ratio. To assess the effect of the addition of sitagliptin compared with that of dapagliflozin on the proportion of subjects at the A1C goal of <7%. To describe the effect of the addition of sitagliptin compared with that of dapagliflozin on change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from baseline.;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in A1C;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 week

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): (1) Change from baseline in 2-hr incremental post-prandial glucose excursion; (2) change from baseline in 2-hr post-prandial glucose (PPG); (3) change from baseline in post-prandial insulin AUC, glucagon AUC, and insulin AUC:glucagon AUC ratio; (4) proportion of subjects at the A1C goal of <7.0% (<53 mmol/mol); (5) change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from baseline.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks
