Evogliptin vs Saxagliptin

NCT02949193 · Phase 3 · completed

This was a randomized, quadruple-blind, active-controlled trial (n=222) comparing evogliptin against sitagliptin, both added to metformin. The prespecified non-inferiority comparison for the primary endpoint, HbA1c change at 24 weeks, was met: the between-group difference and its confidence interval stayed within the non-inferiority range.

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.
