Determine Whether Glycemic Control is Different Between Lantus & a 3rd Oral Agent When Failure With Other Treatment - Full Text View

Purpose

The purposes of the study is to determine whether blood sugar control is different between Lantus and a third oral anti-diabetic agent when added to patients who fail a thiazolidinedione and sulfonylurea or metformin combination.

Primary Outcome Measures:

To determine the difference in glycemic control as measured by HbA1C between substituting the TZD with insulin glargine and adding a third oral agent in patients who fail a TZD/sulfonylurea or TZD/metformin combination therapy [ Time Frame: During the Study Conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Occurrence of hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: During the study conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in fasting plasma glucose [ Time Frame: During the study conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Percentage of patients achieving HbA1C less than or equal to 7% [ Time Frame: During the study conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time to glycemic control [ Time Frame: During the study conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in body weight [ Time Frame: During the study conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in serum lipid profile [ Time Frame: During the study conduct ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
