Early add-on Vildagliptin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled by Metformin

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The purpose of this study is to observe change of HbA1c over time from baseline to month 12. The ultimate goal of this study is to provide a local reference value to the physicians & patients in the future when they consider initiating Vildagliptin and taking balance between efficacy, compliance, risk factors, convenience and medication cost.

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresMean change of HbA1c from Baseline to Month 12 [Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12 (weeK 52)] [Designated as safety issue: No]To examine the change in HbA1c from baseline to month12 for patients administered with Vildagliptin (50mg once daily or 50 mg twice daily) add-on regimen
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Mean change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from Baseline to Month 12 [Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12 (week 52)] [Designated as safety issue: No]To examine the change in FPG from baseline to Month 12
  • Percentage of patients with HbA1c <7.0% [Time Frame: Month 12] [Designated as safety issue: No]Determine percentage of patients achieving HbA1c <7.0% at month 12 between the treatment arms
  • Percentage of overall drug compliance in 12 months [Time Frame: Month 12] [Designated as safety issue: No]Determine percentage of overall drug compliance in 12 months between treatment arms
  • Percentage patients with adverse events, serious adverse events and death as an assessment of overall safety and tolerability [Time Frame: Month 12] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]This analysis will report percentage patients with adverse events and patient discontinued from the study due to adverse events. Aslo, percentage of patients with serious adverse events and death will be reported.
