Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare the impact of including sitagliptin as part of usual care vs. usual care without sitagliptin on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes as measured by the primary CV composite endpoint of CV-related death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To compare the impact of including sitagliptin as part of usual care vs. usual care without sitagliptin on:
    (1) A secondary composite CV endpoint of CV-related death, nonfatal MI, and nonfatal stroke
    (2) Each of the components of the primary composite endpoint
    (3) All-cause mortality
    (4) Hospital admissions for congestive heart failure as reported by the investigator;
    (5) Change from baseline in HbA1c over time
    (6) Change in renal function (based on estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] method) and albuminuria (based on urinary albumin to creatinine ratio) over time
    (7) Time to initiation of long-term insulin therapy. Long term insulin therapy is defined as a continuous period of insulin use of more than 3 months
    (8) Time to addition of first co-interventional agent
    (9) Medical resource utilization during the trial
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    a. Patient has T2DM and has not previously required insulin other than for a short term, reversible illness (less than three consecutive months of insulin use), or during
    pregnancy.
    b. Patient is able to see a usual care provider at least twice a year
    c. Patient is receiving metformin, pioglitazone, or a sulfonylurea as monotherapy or any dual combination of metformin, pioglitazone, or a sulfonylurea continuously for at
    least 3 months without dose alterations, and has an HbA1c of ≥ 6.5% and ≤ 8.0%
    (HbA1c must be documented within 3 months prior to study enrollment). Patients whose HbA1c is > 8.0% may, at the discretion of the investigator, have their oral AHA therapy adjusted and be re-screened for randomization eligibility (HbA1c of ≥ 6.5% and ≤ 8.0%) following a 3-month period on a stable AHA dose.
    d. Patient is ≥ 50 years of age with preexisting vascular disease, defined as having any one of the following:
    - History of a major clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease (i.e., myocardial infarction, surgical or percutaneous [balloon and/or stent] coronary revascularization procedure, or coronary angiography showing at least one stenosis ≥ 50% in a major epicardial artery or branch vessel);
    - Ischemic cerebrovascular disease, including:
    o History of ischemic stroke. Strokes not known to be hemorrhagic will be allowed as part of this criterion;
    o History of carotid arterial disease as documented by ≥ 50 % stenosis documented by carotid ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or angiography, with or without symptoms of neurologic deficit.
    - Atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, as documented by objective evidence such as amputation due to vascular disease, current symptoms of intermittent claudication confirmed by an ankle-brachial pressure index or toe brachial pressure index less than 0.9 or history of surgical or percutaneous revascularization procedure.
    e. Female patients agree to use an effective method of contraception or must not
    otherwise be at risk of becoming pregnant.
    f. Patient understands the study procedures, alternative treatments available, and the risks involved with the study, and voluntarily agrees to participate by providing
    written informed consent.
    g. Patient agrees to provide permission to obtain all medical records necessary for
    complete data ascertainment during the follow-up period.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    a. Patient has a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus, a history of ketoacidosis, or is
    currently taking insulin.
    b. Patient has taken an approved or investigational DPP-4 inhibitor agent (e.g., sitagliptin, alogliptin, saxagliptin, or vildagliptin), GLP-1 analogues (e.g., exenatide,
    exenatide LAR, or liraglutide), or a thiazolidinedione other than pioglitazone within
    the past 3 months.
    c. Patient has cirrhosis of the liver, as assessed by medical history.
    d. Patient is enrolled in another experimental protocol which involves the use of an
    investigational drug or device, or an intervention that would interfere with the conduct of the trial.
    e. Patient has a planned or anticipated revascularization procedure.
    f. Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the trial period.
    g. Patient has medical history that indicates a life expectancy of < 2 years or might limit the individual’s ability to take trial treatments for the duration of the study.
    h. Patient has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, lab bnormality, or other circumstance which, in the opinion of the investigator or coordinator, might pose a risk to the patient, make participation not in the patient’s best interest, confound the results of the study (e.g., if patient cannot comply with requirements of the study), or interfere with the patient’s participation for the full duration of the study.
    i. Patient has an estimated GFR (calculated based on serum creatinine via the MDRD
    formula [10]) of < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
    j. Patient has a known allergy or intolerance to sitagliptin.
    k. Patient has previously been enrolled in this trial.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    Primary CV composite endpoint consists of CV-related death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization. Primary efficacy endpoint is time to first confirmed CV event in the primary composite CV endpoint, defined as the time from randomization to first confirmed event in the primary composite CV endpoint (CV-related death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization).
