Effect of Vildagliptin in Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Sulphonylurea and Metformin

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Interventions
Drug: Sulphonylurea dose-up
Registration Number
NCT01099137
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Brief Summary

Dual combination therapy with metformin and sulphonylurea is the most commonly used combination regimen to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. But, treatment with the dual combination therapy is often unsuccessful at achieving glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this setting, use of insulin is often the next therapeutic step.

Recently, dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV inhibitor is increasingly being used in clinical practice. It is well established that DPP-IV inhibitor improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

But, there have been few studies about the glucose lowering effect of DPP-IV inhibitors (vildagliptin) in Type 2 diabetes patients on the dual combination therapy with a sulfonylurea agent and metformin.The researchers hypothesized that DPP-IV inhibitor as add-on therapy to combination of a sulfonylurea agent and metformin have favorable glucose lowering effect in type 2 diabetic patients. The researchers plan to investigate the change in HbA1C and fasting glucose of 24 weeks treatment with vildagliptin (DPP-IV inhibitor) in combination with a sulfonylurea agent and metformin in type 2 diabetic patients.
