Risk of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia & Arrhythmias With Sitagliptin Versus

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This exploratory double blind randomized active controlled study is designed to assess the effects of a treatment with therapeutical dosage of sitagliptin versus therapeutical dosage of glimepiride as add on therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) patients inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy.

Clinical Trial Description

Type 2 Diabetes is associated with an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Among patients insufficiently controlled with metformin multimorbidity and polypharmacy is common that makes the patients frail for cardiovascular complications related to hypoglycemic events.

This exploratory double blind randomized active controlled study is designed to assess the effects of a treatment with therapeutical dosage of sitagliptin versus therapeutical dosage of glimepiride as add on therapy in patients with T2DM patients inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy.

Examinations will be performed as a 5 day recording of subcutaneous glucose concentration (CGMS) and holder ECG (AMEDTEC) at baseline and after a 12 weeks treatment with sitagliptin or glimepiride as active comparators used in combination with metformin.

With recording of nocturnal hypoglycemia and arrhythmias it is aimed to evaluate favorable glycemic profile under treatment with sitagliptin compared to glimepiride. The primary objective is risk of serious HE for both drugs.

The glycemic profile of sitagliptin as add-on therapy to metformin seems to be favorable compared to sulfonylureass such as glimepiride. Treatment with sitagliptin as add-on to metformin therapy causes less glycemic fluctuations and may be associated with lower oxidative stress and down regulation of low grade inflammation. This hypothesis will be tested as an explorative double blind study. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
