Abstract

Aims:This study was the retrospective analysis of the previous study named as APPLE study( study of combination effect of AlogliPtin and lansoPrazoLE on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes), in which the effect of the combination therapy of alogliptin (a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, DPP4-I) and lansoprazole (a proton pump inhibitor, PPI) was compared with alogliptin mono-therapy without PPI on glycemic control in a randomized open-label study design. The aim of this study was to investigate whether so called legacy effect of proton pump inhibitor on glycemic control is observed. Patients and Methods:In the patients that participated in the APPLE study( 3 months observation;total: 100 patients), the patients who continued the intake of alogliptin at least more than 1 year after the registration(enrollment)in APPLE study was evaluated on glycemic control retrospectively. As a rule, the administration of lansoprazole in combination group was discontinued after the finish of 3 months- of the APPLE study. Twenty-six patients in the alogliptin mono-therapy group and 26 patients in combination group met the requirement in this analysis. Mean observation periods were respectively 16 months. In these patients, the number of patients in whom all diabetic drugs were not changed in observation-period was respectively 18 in alogliptin mono-therapy group and 17 in combination group.Results:The decrease of HbA1c was maintained also after long term observation (16 months)…

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: 100 participants or records.
