    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Change from baseline in bone turnover markers
    The primary objective is to assess the effect of TZD on skeleton as measured bone turnover markers over the 12 months treatment period.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Change from baseline in Estimated glomerular filtration rate( eGFR)
    The objective is to assess the effect of TZD on kidney by measurement of Estimated glomerular filtration rate( eGFR) over the 12 months treatment period.
    Change from baseline in renal function-serum Creatinine (Cr) level
    The secondary objective is to assess the effect of TZD on kidney by measurement of doubling time of serum Creatinine (Cr) level and urine biomarkers over the 12 months treatment period.
    Change from baseline in renal function-Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio(UACR)
    The secondary objective is to assess the effect of TZD on kidney by measurement of doubling time of Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio(UACR) and urine biomarkers over the 12 months treatment period.
    Change from baseline in urine biomarkers
    The secondary objective is to assess the effect of TZD on kidney by measurement of urine biomarkers over the 12 months treatment period.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Diabetes mellitus is a common disease with much impact on human's health and is related to osteoporosis. But the mechanism remains unclear. The foreign researches revealed thiazolidinedione (TZD) would increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture, specially elderly women. However, it is still controversial in terms of the youth and men. In Taiwan,there is few related study to analyze the relationship between TZD and steoporosis. This is a multicenter randomized controlled study.

    Diabetes mellitus is a common disease with much impact on human's health and is related to osteoporosis. But the mechanism remains unclear. The foreign researches revealed thiazolidinedione (TZD) would increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture, especially elderly women. However, it is still controversial in terms of the youth and men. In Taiwan, there is few related study to analyze the relationship between TZD and osteoporosis. This is a multicenter randomized controlled study.This study will recruit adult (age ³40 years) type 2 diabetes patients who is on metformin (³1500mg/day) currently with recent HbA1c between 7.0~8.5%.Patient who has history of macular edema, congestive heart failure (NYHA Fc III, IV), chronic renal failure (stage IV, V), AST or ALT above 2.5 times upper limit, Medical history of endocrinopathies, osteoporosis with bone fracture, cancer will be excluded. Current bone fracture undergoing treatment, pregnancy, breast feeder will also be excluded. This is a 3-year project and will enroll 160 eligible volunteers who are to randomized into group A and B (80 in each). During the next 48 weeks group A and B will receive metformin+pioglitazone and metformin+linagliptin respectively. Blood sugar, renal, and liver functions will be examined every 12 weeks. Calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D level, and bone turnover markers (N-terminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, serum C- telopeptide, type 5 tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline crosslinks) will be checked each 6 months. All the blood samples will be sent to one core laboratory center. The within-group differences will be examined by repeated-measure ANOVA. The between-group differences will be examined by Student's t test.
