A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAK-475 100mg in subjects with type 2 diabetes currently treated with lipid-lowering therapy.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: ot Recruiting

Sex: All

Target Recruitment: 400

Inclusion Criteria

- Male and female subjects aged = 18 years
- Capable of understanding and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form
- Documented diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus for > 6 months (Random venous plasma glucose = 200mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), 2-hour glucose tolerance during a 75g oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) = 200mg/dL or Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) > 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L)), with stable glycaemic control over a period of at least 3 month and Hb A1c of 9.5 % or less
- On a stable antidiabetic regime, which may include oral antidiabetic medication and/or insulin, for at least 3 months prior to Screening (Visit 1)
- The most recent value of LDL-c = 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) and triglycerides = 400 mg/dL (4.52 mmol/L ), within the previous 6 months, currently treated with one of the following lipid-lowering drugs: atorvastatin (10 mg, 20 mg, or 40 mg), simvastatin (20 mg or 40 mg), rosuvastatin (10 mg or 20 mg), or fenofibrate (not to exceed 200 mg daily), and no changes in the medication for at least 4 Weeks before Screening (Visit 1). If no value is available, then confirm acceptability for enrolment from result on sample taken at screening visit 1.
- The subject is otherwise in good health as determined by a physician (ie, via medical history and physical examination)
- At Randomisation (Visit 4) in order to be randomised subjects must have fulfilled the above criteria and also have: Mean LDL-cholesterol levels of = 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L) and mean triglycerides level of = 400 mg/dl (4.52 mmol/L). The mean values will be calculated from measurements made at Week –2 (Visit 2) and Week –1 (Visit 3) for each subject. For LDL-cholesterol the difference between the two individual values must not differ by more than 15% of the upper value. For triglycerides the upper value for either sample must be =450 mg/dL (5.1 mmol/L). If the inclusion range is not attained for either LDL-c or triglycerides levels then the investigator will repeat these assessments at an additional Visit (Visit 3.1). If the LDL-c and triglycerides level then fulfil the above criteria at two consecutive visits, at least 1 week apart, and the individual value at Visit 3.1 compared to one individual value from Visit 2 or 3 does not differ by more than 15%, then the subject may enter the active phase of treatment with TAK-475 100 mg or placebo

- Known hypersensitivity or history of adverse reaction to TAK-475
- Unable or unwilling to discontinue excluded medications or to continue stable doses of stable dose medications or would require treatment with any excluded medication during the study.
