Treatment Preference for Weekly Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) Inhibitors Versus Daily DPP-4 Inhibitors in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Registration Number
- NCT03231709
- Lead Sponsor
- Takeda
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the participant's preference for treatment with once-weekly dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor trelagliptin versus once-daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin among the participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are being treated with once-daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor.
- Detailed Description
The drugs being tested in this study are called Trelagliptin and Alogliptin. This study will look at the participant's preference for treatment with Trelagliptin versus Alogliptin.
The study enrolled 60 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups:
* Trelagliptin 100 mg, followed by Alogliptin 25 mg
* Alogliptin 25 mg, followed by Trelagliptin 100 mg All participants will be asked to take one tablet of trelagliptin orally once a week or one tablet of alogliptin orally once a day throughout the study period.
This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is 16 weeks. Participants will make 3 visits to the clinic.

Participants who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
-
Participants who are being treated with any of the following DPP-4 inhibitors for at least 8 weeks prior to the time of informed consent (Week 0).

Participants who were judged by the investigators possible to change the treatment from daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor shown in Inclusion Criteria 2 to study drug trelagliptin 100 mg or alogliptin 25 mg.
-
Participants whose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value measured within 8 weeks prior to the time of informed consent (Week 0) is below 10.0%.
-
Participants who responded to Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) at the time of informed consent (Week 0).
-
Participants who were judged by the investigators capable to understand the contents of this clinical research and comply with them.

Participants who are able to sign and date the Informed Consent Form before any clinical research procedure begins.
-
Participants who are at least 20 years old at the time of giving the consent.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants by Their Treatment Preference Using Standardized Questions at the End of Treatment Period At Week 16 Participants answered standardized questions about their preference of drug therapy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Participants selected one choice from the following 4 choices; either once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor or daily DPP-4 inhibitor, once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor, daily DPP-4 inhibitor, neither once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor nor daily DPP-4 inhibitor. Reported data was the number of participants with a choice of either trelagliptin (once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor) or alogliptin (once-daily DPP-4 inhibitor), trelagliptin, alogliptin, neither trelagliptin nor alogliptin.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants by Their Treatment Preference Using Standardized Questions at the End of Treatment Period by Background Factors At Week 16 Participants answered standardized questions about their preference of drug therapy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The preference of drug therapy was categorized by background factors like age (years), gender, height (cm), weight (kg), BMI (kg/m\^2), duration of diabetes (years), work status, alcohol intake history, smoking habits, experience of educational hospitalization on DM, presence of cohabiter, percentage of compliance with DPP-4 inhibitors during 4-weeks before the start of treatment period, number of oral drugs per day at the beginning of treatment period (excluding investigational drug), complication of metabolic syndrome, percentage of HbA1c (NGSP is the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) at the time of informed consent.
