Sitagliptin + Standard Prophylaxis

The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University · Phase 3 active Small molecule ✓ Verified May 2026

Sitagliptin + Standard Prophylaxis is a DPP-4 inhibitor Small molecule drug developed by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (in combination with standard prophylaxis, likely in a specific clinical context such as perioperative or infection prevention setting). Also known as: Cyclosporine (CsA),Methotrexate (MTX), Mycopherol ester (MMF) and Antithymic Globulin.

Sitagliptin inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) to increase incretin levels and stimulate insulin secretion in response to glucose.

Sitagliptin is a small molecule dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor used to treat conditions such as hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes. It is typically used in conjunction with standard prophylaxis, which may include supplemental insulin, to manage these conditions.

Mechanism of action

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that prevents the degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), thereby prolonging their action. This leads to glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion and inhibition of glucagon release, resulting in improved glycemic control. The 'Standard Prophylaxis' component likely refers to standard preventive measures in the trial context, possibly infection prophylaxis or other supportive care.
