Key clinical point: Combination of saxagliptin with metformin, acarbose, or gliclazide modified release was safe and effective as an initial treatment option in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) and poor glycemic control.
Major finding: At 24 weeks, the mean changes in glycated hemoglobin (A1c) levels were −2.9% (95% CI −3.1% to −2.8%), −2.6% (95% CI −2.8% to −2.5%), and −2.8% (95% CI −2.9% to −2.6%) in saxagliptin+metformin (Saxa+Met), saxagliptin+acarbose (Saxa+Aca), and saxagliptin+gliclazide (Saxa+Gli) groups, respectively. Overall, 84.9%, 74.7%, and 80.3% of participants achieved an A1c < 7.0% in Saxa+Met, Saxa+Aca, and Saxa+Gli groups, respectively (P = .05), with the rates of hypoglycemia being low across all groups.
Study details: Findings are from a 24-week, randomized clinical trial including 648 treatment-naive patients with T2D and high A1c level who were randomly assigned to receive Saxa+Met (n = 216), Saxa+Aca (n = 216), or Saxa+Gli (n = 216).
Disclosures: This study was funded by AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical Company. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
