About this study

  1. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Sitagliptin therapy suppress glucagon release and improve glucose control in Chinese type 2 diabetic.
  2. There are different effects of Sitagliptin therapy on blood glucose regulation, pancreatic alpha \& beta cell function are different in lean (BMI<25) and overweight (BMI>25) Chinese type 2 diabetics.
  3. The purpose of this study is to determine whether glucagon release may contribute over 30% to the hyperglycemia in Chinese type 2 diabetics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG)

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity

    The insulin sensitivity was detected by evaluating the glucose infusion rate (GIR) with euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity in Patients With Different BMI

    The insulin sensitivity was detected by evaluating the glucose infusion rate (GIR) with euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  5. Change From Baseline in Pancreatic β Cell Function

    The early phase insulin response (△I30/△G30) was adopted to determine β cell function.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  6. Change From Baseline in Pancreatic β Cell Function in Patients With Different BMI

    The early phase insulin response (△I30/△G30) was adopted to determine β cell function.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  7. Change From Baseline in Pancreatic α Cell Function

    The glucagon-AUC was adopted to show pancreatic α cell function.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

  8. Change From Baseline in Pancreatic α Cell Function in Patients With Different BMI

    The glucagon-AUC was adopted to show pancreatic α cell function.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sitagliptin in people with Insulin Secretion and Insulin Resistance, run by Guangwei Li at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 11 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 4 Apr 2017). 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?

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 May 2017.
