Keywords

Dapagliflozin DPP IV inhibitor add on study, Inadequate control

Brief summary

This study aims to investigate how dapagliflozin can control blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes when added to existing treatments (sitagliptin alone or in combination with metformin). The effect of dapagliflozin on weight and blood pressure will also be studied.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with type 2 diabetes * Patients who are not receiving treatment , or those who currently receive metformin, sitagliptin or vildagliptin or the combination of these * Patients will be screened by a blood test and only those who need additional therapy can be enrolled

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with type 1 diabetes * Patients with very poorly controlled diabetes * Any clinically significant illness, which in the judgement of the investigator would compromise the patient's safety or successful participation in the clinical study

Recruitment details

First participant enrolled: 10 Oct 2009. Last participant last visit for 24-week period: 10 Mar 2011. 833 participants were enrolled, 452 randomized and 451 treated in 3 European countries, USA, Argentina and Mexico. Participants with T2DM who showed inadequate glycemic control (7.0% ≤ HbA1c ≤ 10.0% at randomization) on sitagliptin +/- metformin.

Pre-assignment details

During a placebo lead-in period, participants were counselled on dietary and life-style modifications. Participants eligible for the study were stratified according to use of metformin.
