In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Insulin Glargine, Sitagliptin, and 1 other intervention for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Completed, enrolled 515 participants across 17 sites in 17 countries.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective was to demonstrate the superiority of insulin glargine over sitagliptin in reducing Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to the end of the treatment period. Secondary objective was to assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with sitagliptin on: * HbA1c level * Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) * 7-point plasma glucose (PG) profiles * Percentage of patients with HbA1c \<7% and \<6.5% Safety objectives consisted of: * Hypoglycemia occurrence * Body weight * Overall safety
