Efficacy and Safety of Mitiglinide vs Acarbose in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Mitiglinide, a benzylsuccinic acid derivative, exerts selective action on the ATP-dependent K (KATP) channel of pancreatic β-cells and reportedly possesses a stronger affinity to the channel compared with other insulinotropic sulphonylurea receptor ligands, namely repaglinide and nateglinide. Preprandial administration of mitiglinide efficiently reduces postprandial hyperglycemia and improves overall glycemic control.

This was a 12-week, open, randomized study for comparing Mitiglinide versus Acarbose. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mitiglinide vs Acarbose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
