Study of Efficacy and Safety of Vildagliptin as add-on Insulin Therapy in T2DM Patients
A 12-week, Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Equa (Vildagliptin) 50 mg Bid as an add-on Therapy to Insulin, With or Without Metformin, in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin 50 mg bid add-on therapy to improve overall glycemic control in patients with T2DM inadequately controlled by insulin, with or without concomitant metformin treatment. It was agreed with PMDA to conduct a postmarketing clinical trial to further collect the efficacy and safety data of vildagliptin especially in Japanese patients when it iwas used on top of insulin.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 12 Weeks Between Treatment Groups
HbA1c was performed on a blood sample obtained and measured by high performance liquid chromatography performed at a central laboratory.
Baseline, week 12
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Percentage of Patients Meeting Responder Rates in HbA1c
Baseline, week 12
Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at 12 Weeks
Baseline, week 12
Number of Participants With Incidence of Hypoglycemia and Severe Hypoglycemia
12 weeks
Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death
12 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Vildagliptin (LAF237)
EXPERIMENTALPatients received vildagliptin (LAF237) 50 mg tablets twice daily for 12 weeks. Patients continued on a stable dose of long-acting or intermediate-acting or pre-mixed insulin, and metformin if applicable, throughout the study
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORIn this arm, patients received vildagliptin 50 mg matching placebo tablets twice daily for 12 weeks. Patients continued on a stable dose of long-acting or intermediate-acting or pre-mixed insulin, and metformin if applicable, throughout the study
Interventions
Corresponds to vildagliptin (LAF237) 50 mg tablets twice daily
Patients continued their prescribed insulin dose. The dose of insulin remained within a 10% increase of the baseline dose throughout the trial (with no change in frequency or insulin type) unless dose adjustments were required for safety reasons. The insulin dose was allowed to be decreased for safety reasons at anytime without specific dose limits at the Investigator's discretion.
Patients continued their prescribed metformin dose, if applicable.
