Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with sitagliptin reduces the frequency and severity of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) after cardiac surgery and to determine whether treatment with sitagliptin is effective in maintaining blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with sitagliptin reduces the frequency and severity of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and the need for continuous intravenous insulin infusion (CII) in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In addition, the study seeks to determine whether treatment with sitagliptin is effective in maintaining glycemic control and in preventing the need for subcutaneous (SC) insulin therapy in patients with T2D during the transition from intensive care unit (ICU) to regular floor in cardiac surgery patients with T2D.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Hyperglycemia

Intervention

Drug:
• Sitagliptin
Subjects will take one pill daily starting one day prior to surgery until discharge from the hospital. Sitagliptin will be dispensed orally at 100 mg/day for patients with a glomeruler filtration rate (GFR) greater than or equal to 50. Patients with a GFR between 30-49 will receive 50 mg/day.
• Placebo
One pill daily starting one day prior to surgery until discharge from the hospital.
• Regular Human Insulin
Continuous intravenous insulin given to intensive care unit (ICU) patients with a blood glucose (BG) greater than 180 mg/DL and will be started on Regular Human Insulin adjusted to achieve and maintain a BG target between 110 - 180 mg/dL following standard hospital protocol.Intravenous insulin infusion will be continued until the patient is able to eat and/or is transferred to non-ICU service. In previous studies, average length of insulin infusion in patients with stress hyperglycemia was 16.9±19 hours and the amount of IV insulin requirement was 18.6±24.3 U/day.
• Insulin glargine
Patients that required continuous insulin infusion (CII) at a rate >1U/h will be transitioned to basal insulin (glargine/detemir). Calculate total daily dose (TDD) of insulin from the average CII rate during the last four hours of infusion (example, if the average rate is 2 U/hr., the TDD is 48 U/day) Give 50% of calculated dose as basal (glargine/detemir) insulin every day. Basal insulin will be given approx. 4 hours before discontinuation of CII. The total daily insulin dose will be adjusted as follow: Fasting and pre-meal BG between 100-180 mg/dl without hypoglycemia the previous day: no change Fasting and pre-meal BG between >180-240 mg/dl: increase basal dose by 10% every day Fasting and pre-meal BG >241 mg/dl: increase basal dose by 20% every day Fasting and pre-meal BG <100 mg/dl: stop basal
• Supplemental insulin (Insulin lispro)
Insulin lispro will be administered before meals in addition to scheduled insulin dose following the supplemental insulin scale protocol. At bedtime, half of supplemental sliding scale insulin starting at blood glucose (BG) greater than 240 mg/dL will be given. For the subjects receiving supplemental insulin lispro with BG levels greater than 180 mg/dL, then supplemental insulin scale is as follows: BG between 181-220 mg/dL; 2-4 units of insulin lispro BG between 221-260 mg/dL; 3-5 units of insulin lispro BG between 261-300 mg/dL; 4-6 units of insulin lispro BG between 301-350 mg/dL; 5-7 units of insulin lispro BG between 351-400 mg/dL; 6-8 units of insulin lispro BG greater than 400 mg/dL; 7-9 units of insulin lispro
• Supplemental insulin (Insulin aspart)
Insulin aspart will be administered before meals in addition to scheduled insulin dose following the supplemental insulin scale protocol. At bedtime, half of supplemental sliding scale insulin starting at blood glucose (BG) greater than 240 mg/dL will be given. For the subjects receiving supplemental insulin aspart with BG levels greater than 180 mg/dL, then supplemental insulin scale is as follows: BG between 181-220 mg/dL; 2-4 units of insulin aspart BG between 221-260 mg/dL; 3-5 units of insulin aspart BG between 261-300 mg/dL; 4-6 units of insulin aspart BG between 301-350 mg/dL; 5-7 units of insulin aspart BG between 351-400 mg/dL; 6-8 units of insulin aspart BG greater than 400 mg/dL; 7-9 units of insulin aspart
