A Study of the Effect of Ezetimibe on Glucose Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetics With Hypercholesterolemia (P06541)

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Hypercholesterolemia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Ezetimibe
Registration Number
NCT01611883
Lead Sponsor
Organon and Co
Brief Summary

This study will examine the effect of ezetimibe on glucose metabolism in participants with Type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.The primary hypothesis is that change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline in the ezetimibe treatment group will be non-inferior to the placebo control group.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

HbA1c is blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over a prolonged period of time and is reported as a percentage (%). HbA1C was measured at baseline and after 24 weeks of study drug administration.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change in Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

LDL-C levels measured at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment

Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

Plasma glucose levels were assessed after an overnight fast at baseline and after 24 weeks of study drug administration.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Event (AE) "Exacerbation of Diabetes"up to 24 weeks

The Investigator took into account a participant's index of blood glucose control, diabetes medications, and compliance to diet and exercise therapy to assess overall control of the participant's diabetes and to determine if the participant's diabetes worsened. Participants who experienced the AE "Exacerbation of Diabetes " (verbatim term) were recorded.

Change in Glycoalbumin From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

Glycoalbumin is a blood marker used to assess blood glucose control over time and is reported as a percentage (%). Serum glycoalbumin levels were assessed at baseline and after 24 weeks of study drug administration.

Percent Change in Total Cholesterol (TC) From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

TC levels measured at Baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment.

Percentage of Participants With Changes in Diabetes Medications Due to Worsening of DiabetesUp to 24 weeks

The percentage of participants who had changes to their medications used to treat their diabetes, other than small changes in insulin dosing (± 5 Units), were reported and summarized.

Percent Change in Triglycerides From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

Triglycerides levels measured at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment.

Percent Change in High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

HDL-C levels measured at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment.

Percent Change in Non-HDL-cholesterol From BaselineBaseline and Week 24

Non-HDL-C levels measured at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment.
