Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sitagliptin Versus Glipizide in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and End-Stage Renal Disease (MK-0431-073 AM1) (NCT NCT00509236)

NCT ID: NCT00509236

Last Updated: 2017-05-12

Results Overview

Change from baseline in mean hemoglobin A1c after treatment with sitagliptin for 54 weeks. Hemoglobin A1c is the percent of hemoglobin that is glycated. Results for the glipizide arm are not reported in this table because the primary outcome measure is for the sitagliptin arm only.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline / Week 54

Population: Randomized participants. Numbers analyzed excluded participants with either no baseline or no post-baseline measurements. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing values.
