Frequently asked questions about sitagliptin

What is sitagliptin used for?

Sitagliptin is used for the treatment of diabetes, specifically type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is being studied in clinical trials to evaluate its effect on blood glucose control in patients with this condition. The drug is administered to adults aged 18 years and older.

Who makes sitagliptin?

Sitagliptin is being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, a pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol NVO. The company is conducting clinical trials to investigate the drug's efficacy and safety in patients with type 2 diabetes.

What phase is sitagliptin in?

Sitagliptin is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trials have been completed, and the drug is being evaluated for its ability to control blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

What clinical trials is sitagliptin in?

Sitagliptin has been studied in two completed Phase 3 clinical trials. The first trial, NCT00789191, enrolled 222 participants and examined the effect of Detemir and sitagliptin on blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes. The second trial, NCT01046110, enrolled 458 participants and compared NN1250 with sitagliptin in subjects with type 2 diabetes never treated with insulin.

Is sitagliptin the same as NN1250?

No, sitagliptin is not the same as NN1250. In one clinical trial, NCT01046110, NN1250 was compared with sitagliptin in subjects with type 2 diabetes who had never been treated with insulin. The trial was designed to evaluate the effects of both treatments on blood glucose control.
