Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of the Co-administration of Sitagliptin and Atorvastatin in Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (MK-0431E-211) (NCT NCT01477853)

NCT ID: NCT01477853

Last Updated: 2018-07-26

Results Overview

A1C is measured as percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 16 A1C percent minus the Week 0 A1C percent.

Participant Flow

Note: 10 participants were enrolled in the study more than once (at more than 1 study site). Nine participants were enrolled twice and one participant was randomized at 3 different sites. Therefore, data of 10 actual participants (counted as 21 participants due to multiple screening/randomization) were removed from the efficacy analyses.

Population: All participants as treated population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment.

An adverse event is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the investigational product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the investigational product, is also an adverse event. Data presented exclude data following the initiation of glycemic rescue therapy.
