Evidence Hub

A Phase 3, Randomized, Triple-Blind, Parallel-Group, Long-Term, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Examine the Effect on Glucose Control (HbA1c) of AC2993 Given Two Times a Day in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated With Metformin Alone

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2003

336 participants

Abstract

This is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the effects on glucose control of AC2993 as compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be randomized into one of two AC2993 treatment arms or to placebo treatment and will continue with their required existing diabetes medication (metformin) throughout the study.

Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.

Primary outcome: Change in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) from baseline to study termination (Week 30).

Enrollment: 336 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 336 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
