| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving monotherapy with a sulfonylurea (SU) are unable to meet recommended glycemic targets over the long term and require additional pharmacologic agents to maintain glycemic control. This study was designed to assess the utility of adjunctive therapy with the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor linagliptin in patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with SU monotherapy. OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of linagliptin as add-on therapy in patients with inadequately controlled T2DM despite background therapy with an SU. METHODS: In this Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients with inadequately controlled T2DM on SU monotherapy were randomly assigned to receive treatment with linagliptin 5 mg once daily (n = 161) or placebo (n = 84) for 18 weeks. The primary end point was the mean change in hemoglobin (Hb) A(1c) from baseline to week 18, evaluated using ANCOVA. Tolerability was assessed using laboratory analysis, spontaneous reporting, and physical examination and interview. RESULTS: Mean baseline characteristics were similar in the linagliptin and placebo groups. Linagliptin treatment was associated with a placebo-corrected mean (95% CI) change in HbA(1c) from baseline (8.6%) to 18 weeks of -0.47% (-0.70 to -0.24; P < 0.0001). Patients in the linagliptin group were more likely compared with placebo to achieve the HbA(1c) target level of <7.0% after 18 weeks of treatment (15.2% vs 3.7%, respectively; odds ratio [OR] = 6.5; 95% CI, 1.7-24.8; P = 0.007). Similarly, patients in the linagliptin group were more likely to achieve an HbA(1c) reduction of ≥0.5% compared with those in the placebo group (57.6% vs 22.0%; OR = 5.1, 95% CI 2.7-9.6; P < 0.0001). The overall frequency of adverse events was similar between the linagliptin and placebo groups (42.2% vs 42.9%). The incidences of hypoglycemic events were not significantly different between the 2 groups (5.6% vs 4.8%), and none of the hypoglycemic episodes were assessed as severe by the investigator. The difference in the changes in mean body weight was not significant (+0.43 vs -0.01 kg; P = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS: The addition of linagliptin to SU therapy for 18 weeks in these patients with T2DM was associated with statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in HbA(1c) compared with placebo. The overall tolerability of linagliptin was similar to that of placebo, with a low risk for hypoglycemia and no significant weight gain. These findings support the use of linagliptin as adjunctive therapy in patients with T2DM inadequately controlled on SU monotherapy. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00819091. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
