Response - NO
Brief Summary  

This trial is a phase III, prospective, randomized, double blind, double dummy, active-controlled, comparative, parallel group, multicentric clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed dose combination of Dapagliflozin plus Sitagliptin Tablets in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on Metformin monotherapy.

 

Patients who are willing and able to participate in the study will sign and date the Informed Consent Form on the day of screening / baseline visit (Visit 1). During this screening period, patients who are willing to give consent will be evaluated for all the eligibility criteria. Eligible patients (male or female) aged between 18 to 65 years (both inclusive), who are on the treatment with Metformin Tablets ≥1500 mg/day or maximum tolerated dose of Metformin for at least 3 months weeks prior to screening and having inadequate glycaemic control [Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of ≥ 8.0% to ≤ 11.0%] will be considered for the study.

 

After confirming the inclusion/exclusion criteria the subject will be randomized and provided with study medication at randomization visit. Subjects will be provided with patient diary at randomization visit, which need to be brought along with in each subsequent visit till the last visit. Follow up visits will be done on week 2/day 14(±2), week 6/day 42(±2), week 12/day 84(±2) and week 16/day 112(±2) (Final Visit) of treatment to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability.

 

Patients will be assigned to either of the two arms i.e., Arm A or Arm B consisting of FDC of Dapagliflozin 10 mg + Sitagliptin 100 mg Tablets or Sitagliptin Tablets 100 mg. Patients will be given the study medication once a day for 16 weeks. Metformin Tablets ≥ 1500 mg/day will be continued throughout the study period (16 weeks).
