Table 3. Proposed glipizide and metformin challenge endpoints.

Glipizide Challenge Metformin Challenge
Glucose-based Glucose-based
Glucose trough Δ fasting glucose Visit 1 and Visit 2
Glucose trough adjusted for baseline glucose * Fasting glucose at Visit 2 adjusted for fasting glucose at Visit 1 *
Δ (glucose 0 min to trough) Δ fasting glucose Visit 1 and Visit 2 adjusted for BMI
Δ (glucose 0 to 90 min) Fasting glucose at Visit 2 adjusted for baseline glucose at Visit 1 and BMI
Glucose at 120 min adjusted for baseline glucose
Δ (glucose 0 to 120 min)
Area over the glucose curve from 0 to 120 min
Time to glucose trough *
Time to glucose trough adjusted for baseline glucose *
Δ (glucose 0 min to trough)/time to trough
Insulin-based Insulin-based
Insulin peak Δ fasting insulin Visit 1 and Visit 2
Insulin peak adjusted for baseline insulin * Fasting insulin at Visit 2 adjusted for fasting insulin at Visit 1
Insulin at 60 min adjusted for baseline insulin Δ fasting insulin Visit 1 and Visit 2 adjusted for BMI
Δ (insulin 0 min to peak insulin) Fasting insulin at Visit 2 adjusted for fasting insulin at Visit 1 and BMI
Δ (insulin 0 to 60 min)
Area under the insulin curve from 0 to 240 min
Time to insulin peak
Δ (insulin 0 min to peak insulin) / time to peak insulin
Recovery period HOMA-IR based
Δ (glucose 120 to 240 min) Δ HOMA-IR Visit 1 and Visit 2
Δ (glucose trough to 240 min) HOMA-IR at visit 2 adjusted for HOMA-IR at Visit 1
