Effect of DapagliFLOzin on Quality of Life in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes in a Real Clinical PrActice

Phase 4

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
• Interventions: Drug: Dapagliflozin; Drug: Metformin

• Registration Number: NCT02719132
• Lead Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomised, open-label, crossover, 2-period comparative phase IV study.

The primary objective is to compare the effect of dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily in combination with metformin at a daily dose of ≤1,500 mg vs. metformin monotherapy with dose titrated up to 2,500 mg/day on the overall quality of life, obesity-specific quality of life and treatment satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

The study will comprise the following phases: Screening, Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2.

After screening examinations and assessments, all patients enrolled will be randomly assigned in equal proportion (1:1) to either study arm:

Arm 1:

* Patients will take dapagliflozin 10 mg in combination with metformin ≤ 1,500 mg (daily dose) for 24 weeks during Treatment Period 1

* Patients will be on metformin monotherapy with dose titrated up to 2,500 mg/day for further 24 weeks during Treatment Period 2

Arm 2 (the same treatment phases in reverse order):

* Patients will be on metformin monotherapy with dose titrated up to 2,500 mg/day for 24 weeks during Treatment Period 1

* Patients will take dapagliflozin 10 mg in combination with metformin ≤ 1,500 mg (daily dose) for further 24 weeks during Treatment Period 2 Following the randomisation procedure, patients will receive investigational products at each visit as scheduled by Treatment Period 1. After the Randomisation Visit (Visit 2), the patient should attend the study centre for Visits 3, 4, and 5 (Day 28, Day 86, and Day 168, respectively) for efficacy and safety assessments. At Visit 5 (Day 168), the patient will receive investigational products as required by Treatment Period 2. Further Visits 6, 7 and 8 will be scheduled on Day 196, Day 252, Day 336, respectively.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Composite endpoint including quality of life score	48 weeks	Change in the overall quality of life, obesity-specific quality of life and treatment satisfaction in the course of the therapy by the end of each 24-week treatment period compared to the quality of life, obesity-specific quality of life and treatment satisfaction at baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in fasting plasma glucose	48 weeks	Change in fasting plasma glucose will be assessed as mean change in fasting plasma glucose during the treatment phase compared to baseline.
Proportion of patients	48 weeks	Proportion of patients who achieved therapeutic glycaemic response (HbA1c ≤7%).
Change in HbA1c level	48 weeks	Change in HbA1c level will be assessed as mean change in the course of the treatment compared to baseline.
Change in waist circumference	48 weeks	Change in waist circumference will be assessed as mean change and mean percentage change in waist circumference during the treatment phase compared to baseline.
Change in body weight	48 weeks	Change in body weight will be assessed as mean change in body weight, mean percentage change in body weight and mean change in body mass index compared to baseline and as proportion of patients with body weight decreased by ≥5% during the treatment phase.
