Study of Alogliptin Combined With Pioglitazone in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Takeda493 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alogliptin, once daily (QD), combined with pioglitazone in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus

There are approximately 19 million people in the United States who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, of which 90% to 95% are type 2. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes varies among racial and ethnic populations and has been shown to correlate with age, obesity, family history, history of gestational diabetes, and physical inactivity. Over the next decade, a marked increase in the number of adults with diabetes mellitus is expected. Takeda is developing SYR-322 (alogliptin) for the improvement of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Alogliptin is an inhibitor of the dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is thought to be primarily responsible for the degradation of 2 peptide hormones released in response to nutrient ingestion. It is expected that inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV will improve glycemic (glucose) control in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the efficacy of alogliptin in combination with pioglitazone in subjects who are inadequately controlled on a thiazolidinedione (pioglitazone or rosiglitazone) alone or in combination with metformin or a sulfonylurea. Individuals who participate in this study will be required to commit to a screening visit and up to 14 additional visits at the study center. Study participation is anticipated to be about 34 weeks (or 8.5 months).

Inclusion Criteria * Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus currently treated with a thiazolidinedione either alone or in combination with metformin or a sulfonylurea but who are experiencing inadequate glycemic control. The subject should have received the thiazolidinedione therapy (rosiglitazone or pioglitazone) either alone or in combination with metformin or a sulfonylurea for at least the 3 months prior to Screening and must have been on a stable dose for all their antidiabetic treatments for at least the month prior to Screening. * No treatment with antidiabetic agents other than a thiazolidinedione alone or in combination with either metformin or a sulfonylurea within the 3 months prior to Screening.

However, as needed use of prescription or over-the-counter medications is allowed at the discretion of the investigator. * Systolic blood pressure less than or equal to 180 mm Hg and diastolic pressure less than or equal to 110 mm Hg. * Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 12 g per dL for males and greater than or equal to10 g per dL for females. * Alanine aminotransferase less than or equal to 2.5 times the upper limit of normal. * Serum creatinine less than or equal to 2.0 mg per dL. * Thyroid-stimulating hormone level less than or equal to the upper limit of the normal range and the subject is clinically euthyroid. * Neither pregnant nor lactating. * Female subjects of childbearing potential must be practicing adequate contraception. Adequate contraception must be practiced for the duration of participation in the study. * Able and willing to monitor their own blood glucose concentrations with a home glucose monitor. * No major illness or debility that in the investigator's opinion prohibits the subject from completing the study. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria * Urine albumin to creatinine ratio of greater than 1000 μg per mg at Screening. If elevated, the subject may be rescreened within 1 week. * History of cancer, other than squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, that has not been in full remission for at least 5 years prior to Screening.
