What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels

    To compare the change from baseline in HbA1c achieved with each of the 2 BID doses of dapagliflozin (2.5 mg BID and 5 mg BID) co-administered with metformin versus placebo co-administered with metformin after 16 weeks of double-blind treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adjusted Percent Change in Body Weight

    To compare the percent change from baseline in body weight achieved with each of the 2 BID doses of dapagliflozin (2.5 mg BID, and 5 mg BID) co-administered with metformin versus placebo co-administered with metformin after 16 weeks of double-blind treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

  2. Adjusted Mean Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From Baseline to Week 1

    To compare the change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) achieved with each of the 2 BID doses of dapagliflozin (2.5 mg BID and 5 mg BID) co-administered with metformin versus placebo co-administered with metformin after 1 week of double-blind treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 1

  3. Adjusted Mean Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From Baseline to Week 16

    To compare the change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) achieved with each of the 2 BID doses of dapagliflozin (2.5 mg BID and 5 mg BID) co-administered with metformin versus placebo co-administered with metformin after 16 weeks of double-blind treatment.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

  4. Proportion of Participants With HbA1c<7.0% at Week 16, in Participants Who Had HbA1c ≥7.0% at Baseline.

    To compare the adjusted proportions controlling for baseline HbA1c [acc. to Zhang, Tsiatis \& Davidian and Davidian, Tsiatis, Zhang \& Lu] of participants with HbA1c <7.0% achieved with each of the 2 BID doses of dapagliflozin (2.5 mg BID and 5 mg BID) co-administered with metformin versus placebo co-administered with metformin after 16 weeks of double-blind treatment, in patients who had HbA1c ≥7.0% at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing dapagliflozin and metformin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 55 sites in 7 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 27 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 55 sites in Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, South Africa and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 1 Nov 2013). 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?

Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels (time frame: Baseline to Week 16). 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 NCT01217892, 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 27 Oct 2014.
