A Study of Saxagliptin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Blood Sugar Control With Sulfonylureas

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
 
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00313313

Brief Summary:
The purpose of this trial is to understand if adding saxagliptin to a sulfonylurea is safe and works better than increasing the amount of sulfonylurea a patient takes

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Drug: Saxagliptin Drug: Glyburide Drug: Placebo Drug: Metformin Phase 3

Detailed Description:
All subjects will participate in a lead-in period, and qualifying subjects will continue into a short-term randomized treatment period. Subjects who complete the short-term period will be eligible to enter the long term extension period. Also, subjects in the short-term period who have an elevated blood sugar that requires additional medication for blood sugar control (defined as rescue) will be eligible to enter the long-term treatment extension period where they will receive metformin.Rescue treatment with metformin is also available during the long-term extension period for subjects who meet glycemic criteria.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
    Mean change from baseline in A1C at Week 24, adjusted for baseline value.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
    Mean change from baseline in FPG at Week 24, adjusted for baseline value.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving A1C < 7% at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    Percentage of participants achieving A1C < 7%, the American Diabetes Association's defined goal for glycemia, at each dose of saxagliptin plus glyburide versus placebo plus upward titrated glyburide at Week 24.

  3. Changes From Baseline in Postprandial Glucose (PPG) Area Under the Curve (AUC) Response to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
    Mean change from baseline for 0 to 180 minutes PPG AUC at Week 24, adjusted for baseline values.
