NCT ID: NCT00541229

Last Updated: 2017-05-12

Results Overview

The 24-hour WMG was calculated as the area under the 24-hour glucose curve (AUC(0-24 hr)) divided by 24 using linear trapezoidal method.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE1

Target enrollment

103 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Day 7 of Treatment Period I. Due to a carry-over effect that was observed between treatment periods, efficacy results are presented from Treatment Period I only.

Participant Flow

First Patient In: 17-Oct-2007; Last Patient Last Visit: 01-Jul-2008; Seventeen medical clinics worldwide (8 in the United States, 8 in Europe and 1 in Mexico).

Following a 4-week (wk) diet/exercise (and wash-off period for patients on antihyperglycemic agent \[AHA\]), patients with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 130-250 mg/dL were eligible to enter a 2-wk placebo run-in period prior to randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7 of Treatment Period I. Due to a carry-over effect that was observed between treatment periods, efficacy results are presented from Treatment Period I only.

Population: The per-protocol (PP) population consisted of all patients randomized who had a measurement at Day 7 in Treatment Period I and did not have any major protocol violations. Missing data were not imputed.

The 24-hour WMG was calculated as the area under the 24-hour glucose curve (AUC(0-24 hr)) divided by 24 using linear trapezoidal method.

Sitagliptin 200 mg Group included data from all randomized patients in treatment periods with once-daily administration of sitagliptin 200 mg. Due to the crossover design, patients are counted in the denominator for each treatment that they received. Patients are counted in the numerator for the treatment that they were receiving at the time when the AE occurred.
