What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • sitagliptinDrug

    Also called MK0431

    One (participants with visit 1 estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min or undergo regular dialysis) or Two (participants with visit 1 creatinine clearance of =30 to <50 mL/min; not on dialysis) tablets of 25 mg Sitagliptin daily.

  • Placebo to SitagliptinDrug

    One (participants with visit 1 estimated creatinine clearance <30 mL/min or undergo regular dialysis) or Two (participants with visit 1 creatinine clearance of =30 to <50 mL/min and not on dialysis) tablets of placebo to sitagliptin 25 mg daily.

  • glipizideDrug

    One 5 mg glipizide tablet per day. The dose of glipizide administered per day may be increased after 2 weeks and at 2-week intervals thereafter up to 20 mg based upon fingerstick glucose determinations.

  • Placebo to glipizideDrug

    One placebo to glipizide 5 mg tablet per day. The dose of placebo to glipizide administered per day may be increased after 2 weeks and at 2-week intervals thereafter up to 20 mg based upon fingerstick glucose determinations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and Tolerability of Sitagliptin After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Safety and tolerability were measured in terms of the number of patients with clinical adverse experiences (CAEs), serious CAEs, drug-related CAEs, laboratory adverse experiences (LAEs), serious LAEs, and drug-related LAEs. Drug-relationship was assessed by the study investigator according to his/her best clinical judgment.

    Measured: Week 0 through Week 12

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety and Tolerability of Sitagliptin Over 54 Weeks

    Safety and tolerability were measured in terms of the number of patients with clinical adverse experiences (CAEs), serious CAEs, drug-related CAEs, laboratory adverse experiences (LAEs), serious LAEs, and drug-related LAEs. Drug-relationship was assessed by the study investigator according to his/her best clinical judgment.

    Measured: Week 0 through Week 54

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sitagliptin and glipizide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Chronic Renal Insufficiency, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Jul 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Tolerability of Sitagliptin After 12 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: Week 0 through Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00095056, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2015.
