A Randomized, Parallel Group, Open-Label, Active-Controlled Study Comparing Acarbose With Voglibose in Patients Who Are Inadequately Controlled With Insulin Glargine Alone or in Combination With Metformin Based on Glycemic Control
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acarbose in comparison with voglibose in type 2 diabetic patients whose blood glucose levels were inadequately controlled with insulin glargine alone or in combination with metformin.
Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Primary outcome: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
Enrollment: 124 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: 124 participants or records.
