Anagliptin vs Saxagliptin

NCT01529541 · Phase 3 · completed

The study randomly assigned an estimated 200 participants and used triple masking with sitagliptin as an active comparator. Its primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c, a surrogate measure, and no primary-outcome result is available to show whether the comparison was favorable.

NCT00121667 · Phase 3 · completed

Large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial (743 treated participants across three saxagliptin doses and one placebo arm, all on background metformin). The primary endpoint was change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c at Week 24, an accepted hard glycemic measure for type 2 diabetes, and every saxagliptin dose showed a statistically significant improvement versus placebo (adjusted differences of -0.73, -0.83, and -0.72 percentage points, each p<0.0001). Because the trial was adequately powered, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and the primary comparison was met, this is strong evidence for saxagliptin's efficacy.
