Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients with acute coronary syndrome (defined as ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina). Patients who meet at least two of the following criteria within 28 days prior to admission: 1. ECG changes of acute coronary ischemia 2. Serum CK level more than 2 times the upper limit of normal, serum CK-MB or troponin (T/I) over the above upper limit of normal, or positivity for serum troponin T or I by a rapid, qualitative assay 3. Clinical history or evident pphysiological findings of acute coronary syndromes. 2) Patients who have at least one coronary plaque of 25% diameter stenosis or more in the culprit vessel, the target plaque needs to be 5 mm or more depart from the culprit lesion for PCI, or at the non-culprit lesion/vessels). 3) Patinets with dysglycemia defined by the criteria of the Japanese Diabetes Society. 4) Patients 20 years old or older at the time of consent. 5) Patients providing written consent for participation in this clinical trial on their own volition after receiving a thorough explanation about the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with cancer, severe infectious disease, traumatic disease or hypersensitivity to test drug, and patients who are judged by the principal or other investigator to be ineligible for enrollment in the study. 2) Patients pretreated with DPP-4 inhibitors or GLP-1 analogues. 3) Target PCI lesion is graft stenosis or in-stent restenosis. 4) Patients who had undergone previous PCI for the lesion under investigation. 5) Patients with cardiogenic shock 6) Patients on cyclosporine therapy 7) Patients with liver dysfunction (ALT[GPT] >= 100IU), biliary obstruction and/or defective hepatic metabolism: acute hepatitis, acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, hepatic carcinoma and/or icterus. 8) Pregnant and possibly pregnant women, lactating women. 9) Patients on maintenance dialysis
