Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus | Drug: Ipragliflozin Drug: Sitagliptin | Phase 3 |
The objectives of this study are to compare the effect of 50mg of ipragliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, on glucose-lowering effect with 100mg of sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, whose HbA1c level is ≥ 7.5% with sulfonylurea and metformin.
We are also going to investigate changes of other metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors such as triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, uric acid, blood pressure, and inflammatory markers.
Changes of body composition including fat and muscle mass with volume status will be also examined.
