Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Saxagliptin
The dose of saxaglitpin will be 5mg oral qd. An estimated total of 480 patients (240 per treatment arm) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the active treatment arm and the active comparator arm. So estimated 240 patients will be allocated to this arm.

The dose of saxaglitpin will be 5mg oral qd.
Other Names:
  • Onglyza

Patients who take acarbose will begin with 50mg tid for 7 days then be titrated to 100mg tid till the end of the study. A call visit (V5) will be performed at Week 1 for adverse event and reminding patients the dose titration of acrabose. An estimated total of 480 patients (240 per treatment arm) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the active treatment arm and the active comparator arm. So estimated 240 patients will be allocalted to this arm.

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
