Double-blind Sitagliptin Add-on Study in Japanese Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Ipragliflozin (MK-0431J-842)

August 3, 2018 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Double-Blind Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Addition of Sitagliptin in Japanese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Ipragliflozin Monotherapy in Addition to Diet and Exercise Therapy

This is a study to assess the safety and efficacy of the addition of sitagliptin in Japanese participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control on ipragliflozin, diet, and exercise therapy. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the addition of sitagliptin once daily compared with placebo provides greater reduction in hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) as assessed by change from baseline (Week 0) to Week 24.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
HbA1c is measured as percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 24 HbA1c percent minus the Week 0 HbA1c percent. Statistical analysis based on a constrained longitudinal data analysis (cLDA) model with terms for treatment, time, prior use of AHAs, the interactions of treatment by time, time by prior use of AHAs, and treatment by time by prior use of AHAs with the constraint that the mean baseline is the same for both treatment groups.
Baseline and Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Up to 26 weeks
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AE
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Up to 24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in 2-hr PMG at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change from baseline in 2-hr PMG at Week 24 is defined as Week 24 2-hr PMG minus Week 0 2-hr PMG. Statistical analysis based on a cLDA model with terms for treatment, time, prior use of AHAs, the interactions of treatment by time, time by prior use of AHAs, and treatment by time by prior use of AHAs with the constraint that the mean baseline 2-hr PMG is the same for both treatment groups.
Baseline and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Glucose Total Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve From Hour 0 to Hour 2 (AUC0-2hr) After Meal at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 (just before loading meal [0 min], 30 min, 60 min and 120 min)
Change from Baseline in Glucose Total AUC0-2hr after Meal at Week 24 is defined as Week 24 Glucose Total AUC0-2hr after a meal minus Week 0 Glucose Total AUC0-2hr after a meal. Statistical analysis based on a cLDA model with terms for treatment, time, prior use of AHAs, the interactions of treatment by time, time by prior use of AHAs, and treatment by time by prior use of AHAs with the constraint that the mean baseline glucose total AUC0-2hr after meal is the same for both treatment groups.
Baseline and Week 24 (just before loading meal [0 min], 30 min, 60 min and 120 min)
Change From Baseline in FPG at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24
Change from baseline in FPG at Week 24 is defined as Week 24 FPG minus Week 0 FPG. Statistical analysis based on a cLDA model with terms for treatment, time, prior use of AHAs, the interactions of treatment by time, time by prior use of AHAs, and treatment by time by prior use of AHAs with the constraint that the mean baseline FPG is the same for both treatment groups.
