A Phase III Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group Efficacy and Safety Study of BI 10773 and Sitagliptin Administered Orally Over 24 Weeks, in Drug naïve Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insufficient Glycaemic Control Despite Diet and Exercise
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 10773 compared to placebo and sitagliptin given for 24 weeks as monotherapy in patients with T2DM with insufficient glycaemic control. For the open-label part of the study the objective is to estimate the efficacy and safety of BI 10773 when given for 24 weeks in patients with T2DM with very poor glycaemic control.
Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Primary outcome: Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) After 24 Weeks.
Enrollment: 986 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: 986 participants or records.
