Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The subject must be excluded from participating in the trial if the subject: (1) has been treated with any AHA other than protocol-specified agents (i.e., other than metformin, DPP-4 inhibitor, or sulfonylurea agent) within the prior 12 weeks; (2) has a history of 2 or more episodes of hypoglycemia resulting in seizure, coma, or loss of consciousness, OR subject has had recurrent (> or = 3 times per week) episodes of hypoglycemia over the past 8 weeks; (3) has a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or ketoacidosis, or has a history of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA), or subject is assessed by the investigator as possibly having T1DM or LADA confirmed with a C-peptide 270 mg/dL (15.0 mmol/L).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: In subjects with T2DM with inadequate glycemic control on metformin and sitagliptin, who initiate and titrate insulin glargine (LANTUS®), to assess the effect of continuing sitagliptin relative to withdrawing sitagliptin on: (1) HbA1c (A1C) after 30 weeks; (2) the event rate of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with blood glucose < or = 70 mg/dL (< or = 3.9 mmol/L) over 30 weeks; (3) general safety and tolerability over 30 weeks.;Secondary Objective: In subjects with T2DM with inadequate glycemic control on metformin and sitagliptin, who initiate and titrate insulin glargine (LANTUS®), to assess the effect of continuing sitagliptin relative to withdrawing sitagliptin on: 1) the incidence of the following over 30 weeks: a) documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with blood glucose (BG) < or =70 mg/dL; b) documented hypoglycemia with BG < or =70 mg/dL; c) documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with BG <56 mg/dL; d) documented hypoglycemia with BG <56 mg/dL; 2) the event rate of the following over 30 weeks: a) documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with BG <56 mg/dL; b) documented hypoglycemia with BG < or =70 mg/dL ; c) documented hypoglycemia with BG <56 mg/dL; 3) the daily dose of insulin after 30 weeks; 4) the proportion of subjects with A1C <7.0% after 30 weeks; 5) the proportion of subjects with A1C <7.0% after 30 weeks without any event of documented hypoglycemia with BG < or =70 mg/dL ; 6) fasting plasma glucose after 30 weeks.;Primary end point(s): (1) Change from baseline in A1C at Week 30; (2) Event rate of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with blood glucose < or = 70 mg/dL (< or = 3.9 mmol/L) over 30 weeks.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1) Event rate of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with blood glucose <56 mg/dL (< or = 3.1 mmol/L) over 30 weeks; (2) Incidence of each of the following over 30 weeks: (a) documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with blood glucose < or = 70 mg/dL (< or = 3.9 mmol/L); (b) documented hypoglycemia with blood glucose < or = 70 mg/dL (< or = 3.9 mmol/L); (c) documented symptomatic hypoglycemia with blood glucose <56 mg/dL (< or = 3.1 mmol/L); (d) documented hypoglycemia with blood glucose <56 mg/dL (< or = 3.1 mmol/L); (3) Change from baseline in total daily insulin dose at Week 30; (4) Event rate of each of the following over 30 weeks: (a) documented hypoglycemia with blood glucose < or = 70 mg/dL (< or = 3.9 mmol/L); (b) documented hypoglycemia with blood glucose <56 mg/dL (< or = 3.1 mmol/L); (5) Proportion of subjects at A1C goal <7.0% (<53 mmol/mol) at Week 30; (6) Proportion of subjects at A1C goal <7.0% (<53 mmol/mol) at Week 30 with no documented hypoglycemia with blood glucose < or = 70 mg/dL (< or = 3.9 mmol/L); (7) Change from baseline in FPG at Week 30.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 weeks | — |
