NCT ID: NCT01834274

Last Updated: 2015-09-28

Results Overview

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 25 sites in the United States and 1 site in Canada from 18 May 2013 (first patient to sign informed consent) to 05 March 2014.

Participants with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitis were enrolled equally in 1 of 2 treatment groups, once a day fasiglifam 50 mg or Sitagliptin 100 mg in combination with metformin.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 24

Population: All randomized participants with data available for analysis.

The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at week 24 or final visit relative to Baseline. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Fasiglifam 50 mg
n=4 Participants
Fasiglifam 50 mg tablets, orally, once daily, sitagliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally, once daily, and metformin stable dose ≥1500 mg (or maximum-tolerated dose), tablets, orally, daily for up to 24 weeks.
Sitagliptin 100 mg
n=3 Participants
Sitagliptin 100 mg, tablets, once daily, fasiglifam placebo-matching tablets, orally, once daily, and metformin stable dose ≥1500 mg (or maximum tolerated dose), tablets, orally, daily for up to 24 weeks.
Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
-0.63 Percent
Standard Deviation 0.340 • Interval -1.1 to -0.3
-0.43 Percent
Standard Deviation 0.208 • Interval -0.6 to -0.6

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: As pre-defined in the SAP, no summary is provided for the secondary efficacy endpoint incidence of HbA1c \<7% at Week 24 due to the limited enrollment and study duration at the time of study termination.

The percentage of participants with glycosylated hemoglobin less than 7% after 24 weeks of treatment.
