Glycemic Durability After Metformin Failure

Registration Number
NCT02142309
Lead Sponsor
University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli"
Brief Summary

Type 2 diabetes is epidemic and its treatment has become more and more difficult. Consensus algorithms have been developed to help clinicians to select among the numerous medications and their combinations for achieving and maintaining a target glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of \<7%.

AMAZING, a pragmatic clinical trial, aims to compare commonly used oral diabetes medications, when combined with metformin, on glycemia-lowering effectiveness.

Detailed Description

* Source data verification: paper or electronic medical records.

* Statistical analysis: All analyses will compare the randomly assigned treatment groups under the intention- to-treat principle
