Efficacy and Safety of Alogliptin in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes
- Conditions
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01289119
- Lead Sponsor
- Takeda
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of alogliptin compared to placebo when given alone or as add-on therapy to metformin or add-on to pioglitazone (with or without metformin).
- Detailed Description
Diabetes is a chronic illness associated with microvascular complications such as nephropathy (kidney disease), retinopathy (eye damage) and neuropathy (nervous system damage). Diabetes is also associated with macrovascular complications including cardiovascular disease (heart disease), stroke and peripheral vascular disease (narrowing or blockage of blood vessels). These complications are associated with reduced quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality.
Takeda is developing SYR-322 (alogliptin) for improvement of glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Evaluations of alogliptin and its clinical efficacy have been conducted in multiple countries including the United States and Japan. This study will be conducted as a multi-center clinical trial in order to validate the efficacy and safety of alogliptin on type 2 diabetes population within Asia.
Participants who qualified for the study were stratified into 1 of the 3 therapy groups based upon their background antidiabetic therapy before being randomized 1:1 to receive either alogliptin 25 mg once daily or matching placebo once daily.
* Monotherapy group - patients who had been treated with diet and exercise for at least 2 months prior to screening.
* Add-on to metformin therapy group - patients who had been treated with metformin for at least 3 months and at a stable dose (≥1000 mg/day) for at least 8 weeks prior to screening.
* Add-on to pioglitazone therapy group - patients who had been treated with a stable dose of pioglitazone alone or in combination with metformin at a stable dose for at least 8 weeks prior to screening.

Group Intervention Description Placebo Placebo to alogliptin Participants received alogliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally once daily for up to 16 weeks. Alogliptin Monotherapy Alogliptin Participants received alogliptin 25 mg tablets, orally, once daily for up to 16 weeks. Metformin Placebo to alogliptin Participants continued to receive their stable dose of metformin (≥1000 mg/day) and also received alogliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally once daily for up to 16 weeks. Metformin Metformin Participants continued to receive their stable dose of metformin (≥1000 mg/day) and also received alogliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally once daily for up to 16 weeks. Pioglitazone Placebo to alogliptin Participants continued to receive their stable dose of pioglitazone with or without metformin, and also received alogliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally once daily for up to 16 weeks. Pioglitazone Pioglitazone Participants continued to receive their stable dose of pioglitazone with or without metformin, and also received alogliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally once daily for up to 16 weeks. Metformin + Alogliptin Add-on Therapy Metformin Participants continued to receive their stable dose of metformin (≥1000 mg/day) and also received alogliptin 25 mg tablets, orally, once daily for up to 16 weeks. Metformin + Alogliptin Add-on Therapy Alogliptin Participants continued to receive their stable dose of metformin (≥1000 mg/day) and also received alogliptin 25 mg tablets, orally, once daily for up to 16 weeks. Pioglitazone + Alogliptin Add-on Therapy Alogliptin Participants continued to receive their stable dose of pioglitazone with or without metformin and also received alogliptin, 25 mg tablets orally once daily for up to 16 weeks. Pioglitazone + Alogliptin Add-on Therapy Pioglitazone Participants continued to receive their stable dose of pioglitazone with or without metformin and also received alogliptin, 25 mg tablets orally once daily for up to 16 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Baseline and Week 16. The change from Baseline in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at Week 16. Least squares means are derived from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment as a fixed effect, and baseline HbA1c as a covariate for the monotherapy, baseline HbA1c with baseline metformin dose as covariates for the metformin therapy, baseline HbA1c with baseline metformin therapy status and baseline pioglitazone dose as covariates for the pioglitazone therapy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in HbA1c Over Time Baseline and Weeks 4, 8 and 12. The change from Baseline in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. Least squares means are derived from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment as a fixed effect, and baseline HbA1c as a covariate for the monotherapy, baseline HbA1c with baseline metformin dose as covariates for the metformin therapy, baseline HbA1c with baseline metformin therapy status and baseline pioglitazone dose as covariates for the pioglitazone therapy.
Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose Over Time Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16. The change from Baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at Weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16.
