Safety and Efficacy of Acarbose+Saxagliptin Compared With Metformin+Saxagliptin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Phase 4
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02605772
Lead Sponsor
Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University
Brief Summary

To investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Acarbose+Saxagliptin Compared With Metformin+Saxagliptin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes,100 patients with T2DM will be enrolled in this study.They will randomly be assigned to Acarbose+Saxagliptin or Metformin+Saxagliptin group.HbA1c,fasting and postprandial C-peptide will be observed before and after the interventions.

Detailed Description

Participants coming on study will be assigned to two groups:Acarbose+Saxagliptin and Metformin+Saxagliptin. It may take 1 weeks to be stabilize to a standardized dose, and then the investigators will follow-up the patients for 3 months.During the period,patients will be asked to come back to the investigators center to receive the related examination every month. The investigators will detect HbA1c,fasting and postprandial C-peptide before and after the interventions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
redunction of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Levels (%) in two groups respectively after three months interventionbaseline(0 week), week twelve

HbA1c was measured by high performance liquid chromatography with an automated biochemistry analyzer (Roche, Switzerland).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of patients who achieve target of HbA1c<6.5% in two groups respectively at the end of studybaseline(0 week), week twelve
Difference of Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and Homeostasis model assessment beta cell function index (HOMA-β) between two groups after three months interventionbaseline(0 week), week twelve

HOMA-β= Fasting C-Peptide × 0.27/(Fasting Plasma Glucose-3.5 HOMA-IR = 1.5 + Fasting Plasma Glucose × Fasting CPeptide/ 2800.
