Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multi-centre, open-label, randomized, parallel trial to investigate the efficacy and safety profile of saxagliptin and glimepiride treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-centre, open-label, randomized, parallel trial to investigate the efficacy and safety profile of saxagliptin and glimepiride treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy.

Screening will be made to select eligible participants before intervention. The trial will include 1-week run-in period of stable doses of metformin (1500mg) and 48-week treatment period. After the run-in period, patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups for antihyperglycaemic therapies for a total of 48-weeks: saxagliptin and glimepiride. The treatment of saxagliptin will be initiated and maintained at 5mg every morning until the completion of the study. Glimepiride will be initially treated with 1 mg every morning, and further titrated up at 4-week intervals until to reach the target fasting blood glucose (FPG).As to Glimepiride groups, if the fasting blood glucose dose not achieved the target after the maximal doses, maintain the maximal doses(6mg per day) until the completion of the study.Meanwhile, participants in both groups should take metformin 1500mg per day throughout the whole 48 weeks. At the end of the study, data will be collected and analyzed.

Saxagliptin

The treatment of saxagliptin will be initiated and maintained at 5mg every morning until the completion of the test.Meanwhile,subjects will be instructed to take stable doses of metformin (1500mg/d) through the whole trial.

Glimepiride

Glimepiride will be initially treated with 1 mg every morning to a dose of 6 mg/day.a.m. Every 4-week the subjects will be evaluated whether reach the target fasting plasma glucose (assayed by finger-stick ≦6.1 mmol/l ). If the fasting blood glucose not achieved the target at the maximum dose, maintain the maximum dose(6mg/d) until the completion of the test.Meanwhile,subjects will be instructed to take stable doses of metformin (1500mg/d) through the whole trial.
