Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Cofrogliptin Add-on Versus Metformin Dose-escalation in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Inadequately Controlled With SGLT-2 Inhibitors Plus Low-Dose Metformin:A Multicenter, Open-Label Trial

Обзор

The aim of this study is to evaluate the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of adding cofrogliptin compared to escalation of metformin dose after 24 weeks in type 2 diabetes patients who have failed to achieve adequate glycemic control despite receiving combination therapy with SGLT2i and metformin. Participants will be asked to use either cofrogliptin combined with SGLT2i and metformin or SGLT2i combined with increased dose of metformin.

Подробное описание

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of adding cofrogliptin compared to escalation of metformin dose after 24 weeks in type 2 diabetes patients who have failed to achieve adequate glycemic control despite receiving combination therapy with SGLT2i and metformin.

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the changes in the following parameters (for indicators requiring pre-post comparison, the baseline level during the baseline treatment period is used for comparison):of adding cofrogliptin compared to escalation of metformin dose after 24 weeks in type 2 diabetes patients who have failed to achieve adequate glycemic control despite receiving combination therapy with SGLT2i and metformin:

1. The proportion of subjects with HbA1c \< 7.0% and \< 6.5% after 24 weeks of treatment. 2. Changes in 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2h-PPG) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from baseline at 12 and 24 weeks of treatment. 3. Change in HbA1c levels from baseline after 12 weeks of treatment. 4. Changes in body weight, fasting C-peptide, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment. 5. The proportion of subjects who withdrew due to the need for rescue therapy for hyperglycemia. 6. The safety profile of triple therapy with cofrogliptin.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Cofrogliptin+SGLT2i+Metformin
  The cofrogliptin add-on group will continue their existing SGLT2i plus metformin regimen and dosing, with the add-on of cofrogliptin over 24 weeks of triple combined therapy.
• Препарат Metformin dose escalation
  The metformin dose escalation group will have their metformin dose gradually increased to the target dose.
