Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (MK-0000-258 AM2) (NCT NCT01537120)

NCT ID: NCT01537120

Last Updated: 2015-08-19

Results Overview

The 24 hour WMG was measured after 2 weeks of placebo treatment, and again after 2 weeks of vildagliptin treatment. Glucose was measured over a 24 hour period by having participants wear two continuous glucose monitors (CGM), which produced an average glucose value approximately every 5 minutes. Using these values, the concentration of glucose was calculated from Area Under the Curve 0-24 hours (AUC 0-24hr), and was expressed as 24 hour WMG.

Participant Flow

After enrollment, participants previously treated with both metformin and sulfonylurea, discontinued sulfonylurea usage and underwent washout of sulfonylurea over a period of 8 weeks prior to treatment. Non-washout participants were enrolled on a clinical regimen of metformin alone.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 2 weeks after Placebo treatment and again at 2 weeks after Vildagliptin treatment

Population: Per-Protocol Population: all participants who complied with the assigned medication during each period of study.

The 24 hour WMG was measured after 2 weeks of placebo treatment, and again after 2 weeks of vildagliptin treatment. Glucose was measured over a 24 hour period by having participants wear two continuous glucose monitors (CGM), which produced an average glucose value approximately every 5 minutes. Using these values, the concentration of glucose was calculated from Area Under the Curve 0-24 hours (AUC 0-24hr), and was expressed as 24 hour WMG.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 2 weeks after Placebo treatment and again at 2 weeks after Vildagliptin treatment

Population: Per-Protocol Population: all participants who complied with the assigned medication during each period of study.

Blood samples were taken after 2 weeks of placebo treatment, and again after 2 weeks of vildagliptin treatment to measure the percentage of glycated hemoglobin, HbA1C. Units are therefore presented as HbA1c (%).
