Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate if the combination saxagliptin/dapagliflozin + metformin is non-inferior to treatment with metformin + insulin glargine in terms to improveof ¿ -cell function in patients with LADA;Secondary Objective: To evaluate if the combination saxagliptin/dapagliflozin + metformin is associated with a better metabolic control (measured by HbA1c), improved insulin sensitivity (measured by HOMA-IR index), lower number of self-reported hypoglycaemic events and a reduction of body weight, as compared with the association metformin + insulin Assess whether the combination of saxagliptin / dapagliflozin plus metformin than with the insulin + metformin is associated with a better metabolic control (HbA1c evaluation), improved insulin sensitivity (as measured by the HOMA-IR), the lowest number hypoglycemic events and weight reduction.;Primary end point(s): Change in the area under the curve (AUC) of C-peptide after running a MMTT in patients treated for one year with saxagliptin / dapagliflozin plus metformin vs patients treated with insulin glargine + metformin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months after beginning treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): HbA1c, number hypoglycemic events (blood glucose <70 mg / dl), HOMA-IR index and weight loss in patients treated for one year with saxagliptin / dapagliflozin plus metformin vs patients treated with insulin glargine + metformin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: end of trial
