Clinical Trial Details

Trial ID: L6991
Source ID: NCT00420511
Associated Drug: Sitagliptin
Title: Beta-Cell Function and Sitagliptin Trial (BEST)
Acronym: BEST
Status: COMPLETED
Study Results: YES
Results: https://ClinicalTrials.gov/show/NCT00420511/results
Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions: DRUG: Sitagliptin|DRUG: Placebo|DRUG: metformin
Outcome Measures: Primary: Preservation of Beta-cell Function Measured by Area-under-the-curve (C-peptide/Glucose)/HOMA-IR, Area-under-the-C-peptide-curve (AUCCpep) and area-under-the-glucose-curve (AUCgluc) from 0 to 240 minutes during meal tests were calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Insulin resistance was assessed using the Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Beta-cell function was assessed using the ratio of total AUCCpep to AUCgluc divided by HOMA-IR (AUCCpep/gluc/HOMA-IR), a measure of insulin secretion in the context of ambient insulin sensitivity, analogous to the disposition index and adaptation index. Higher AUCCpep/gluc/HOMA-IR is indicative of better beta-cell function., 48 weeks | Secondary: Insulinogenic Index Divided by HOMA-IR at 48 Weeks, Insulinogenic index was calculated as the incremental change in insulin from 0 to 30 minutes divided by the incremental change in glucose over the same period of time. Insulinogenic index divided by HOMA-IR provides an additional measure of beta-cell function. A higher value indicates better beta-cell function, 48 weeks|Fasting Blood Glucose at 48 Weeks, 48 weeks|Area-under-the-glucose-curve (AUCglucose) on Meal Test at 1 Year, 1 year|Time to Loss of Glycemic Control, 1 year|Proportion of Patients Achieving Sustained Normoglycemia Off Medication at 1-week Post-insulin Therapy, 1 year
