Summary

This multi-center, randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the durability and efficacy of nateglinide therapy for long term glycemic control compared with glimepiride.

Clinical Details

Official title: Multi-Center, Randomized, Open Label Study of the Durability of Glycemic Control With Nateglinide Versus Glimepiride as Monotherapy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: The durability of nateglinide in comparison with those of glimepiride based on the withdrawal rate

Secondary outcome: 1. HbA1c, Fasting blood sugar, 2hours postprandial blood sugar 2. insulin secretion(C-peptide), insulin sensitivity(HOMA-IR), lipid profile

Detailed description: Selected patients will be randomly assigned to receive nateglinide or glimepiride.

Previous treatment with oral antidiabetic drugs (metformin, a-glucosidase inhibitor, nateglinide or sulfonylurea) will be discontinued. After a 1 month wash-out period (if 6. 5 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 8. 5), patients will take randomly assigned drugs for 24 months.

Patients will be met by the trial investigator every 3 months following randomization. At each visit, patients whose HbA1c is > 8. 0% will be retested 2 weeks later, and if the retested HbA1c is also above 8. 0%, those patients will be withdrawn considering monotherapy failure. We will evaluate the durability of nateglinide in comparison with that of glimepiride based on the withdrawal rate.
