  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • with type 2 DM

About this study

Official title: Effects of Vildagliptine and Glimepiride on Glycemic Variability and Cardiovascular Parameters in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes by CGMS

The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences of blood sugar level and glycemic variability between sulfonylurea and DPP-4 inhibitor groups applying CGMS for a chosen number of type 2 DM patients. The investigators also reveal influences of each drugs on cardiovascular risk factors by measuring related biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

We enroll patients with type 2 DM with uncontrolled glucose level on Metformin monotherapy over 1000mg /day (HbA1C over 7%).

Before drug administration, we conduct basal lab study including CGMS. After 3 month of random administration of vildagliptin or glimepiride, we check CGMS, glucose levels, CV biomarkers, and estimate hypoglycemic index. We replace with the other drug for 3 months, and then conduct the same measurements. No wash-out period is necessary since result variables are measured after the 3 months of administration for a different drug.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. glucose profile and lipid profile

    Measured: before and after 3 months of each drug administration

  2. hypoglycemic index

    Measured: before and after 3 months of each drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Glimepiride and Vildagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 20 Nov 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Glycemic variability index (time frame: before and after 3 months of each drug administration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Nov 2015.
