A Phase 4 interventional study of rosiglitazone-metformin fixed dose combination and metformin + glimepiride in Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline. Completed. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2009-05-07.
Sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline · Phase 4, Interventional, and Treatment
A better glycemic control is associated with less complications (cardiac diseases, blindness, etcetera) for type 2 diabetic patients. The objective is to study if rosiglitazone may lead to a more regular glycemic pattern with less hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia episodes than with a sulphonylurea (glimepiride).
9,589 studies on the registry are indexed under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; 1,332 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 23 is below the median of 81 across 7,713 interventional studies indexed under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
