E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the effectiveness, feasibility and safety of both metformin and sitagliptin in patients with TIA or minor ischemic stroke and impaired glucose tolerance. |
Vergelijken van de effectiviteit, uitvoerbaarheid en veiligheid vergelijken van zowel metformine en sitagliptine bij patiënten met een TIA of een klein herseninfarct en gestoorde glucosetolerantie. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess whether a slow increase in dose of metformin over a 6 week period and better support and information on this treatment will reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects in these patients, and whether it will improve treatment compliance. |
Nagaan of langzamer opbouwen van metformine en betere informatievoorziening leidt tot minder bijwerkingen en een betere therapietrouw en of sitagliptine een goede alternatieve behandeling is voor metformine. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients will be eligible for inclusion if they are 18 years or older, have a clinical diagnosis of TIA, amaurosis fugax or minor ischemic stroke (defined as a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 3 or less) within the previous 6 months, and have impaired glucose tolerance, defined as 2-hour post-load glucose levels between 7.8 and 11.0 mmol/L. |
Patiënten komen voor inclusie in aanmerking als ze 18 jaar of ouder zijn, een klinische diagnose van TIA, amaurosis fugax of klein herseninfarct (gedefinieerd als een modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score van 3 of lager) in de afgelopen 6 maanden en gestoorde glucosetolerantie hebben (gedefinieerd als een glucose na belasting tussen 7.8 en 11.0 mmol/L). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients will be excluded if they are known to have diabetes mellitus or a history of diabetic ketoacidosis, if they have symptoms of type 1 diabetes mellitus, signs of renal impairment (creatinin of 135 μmol/L or higher for men, and 110 μmol/L or higher for women), known liver disease or disturbed liver function tests (alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, alkaline phosphatase, or γ glutamyl transferase increased to more than twice the upper limit of typical values), a history of lactic acidosis, heart failure requiring pharmacological therapy, pancreatitis or chronic hypoxic lung disease, if they use digoxin or in case of pregnancy or breast feeding. |
Patiënten zullen worden geëxcludeerd als er sprake is van diabetes mellitus of diabetische keto-acidose in de voorgeschiedenis, symptomen passend bij type 1 diabetes mellitus, tekenen van nierfunctiestoornissen (creatinine van 135µmol/L of hoger bij mannen, en 110µmol/L of hoger bij vrouwen), een bekende leveraandoening of gestoorde leverfunctiestoornissen (alanine amino transferase, aspartate amino transferase, alkaline phosphatase, of γ glutamyl transferase meer dan twee keer zo hoog dan het bovenlimiet van de normaalwaarde), lactaatacidose in de voorgeschiedenis, hartfalen waarvoor medicamenteuze behandeling nodig is, pancreatitis, chronische hypoxische longaandoening, digoxine gebruik, zwangerschap of borstvoeding. |
