Efficacy and safety of initial combination therapy with gemigliptin and metformin compared with monotherapy with either drug in patients with type 2 diabetes: A double‐blind randomized controlled trial (INICOM study)
Abstract
Gemigliptin is a new dipeptidyl peptidase‐IV inhibitor. We investigated the efficacy and safety of initial combination therapy with gemigliptin and metformin compared with monotherapy with either drug in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
How strong is the evidence?
