A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Saxagliptin Added to Insulin Monotherapy or to Insulin in Combination With Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Insulin Alone or on Insulin in Combination With Metformin
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of saxagliptin with those of placebo as add-on therapy to insulin and insulin with metformin in improving glycemic control at 24 and 52 weeks.
Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes.
Primary outcome: Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in A1C Levels (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF]).
Enrollment: 455 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: 455 participants or records.
