Efficacy and Safety of Alogliptin in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes in Japan

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dose-response relationships of alogliptin, once daily (QD) to an α-glucosidase inhibitor, three times daily (TID), to determine the optimal clinical dose for type 2 diabetic patients.

About this study

Both insulin hyposecretion and insulin-resistance are considered to be involved in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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 (DPP-IV) enzyme. DPP-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 DPP-IV will improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of alogliptin, participants in the present study could enter a long-term extension study SYR-322/OCT-001 (NCT01263496) that was planned separately.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (Week 12).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12.

    The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at week 12 or final visit and glycosylated hemoglobin collected at baseline.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (Week 2).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 2.

    The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at week 2 and glycosylated hemoglobin collected at baseline.

  2. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (Week 4).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 4.

    The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at week 4 and glycosylated hemoglobin collected at baseline.

  3. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (Week 8).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8.

    The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at week 8 and glycosylated hemoglobin collected at baseline.

  4. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (Week 2).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 2

    The change between the value of fasting plasma glucose collected at week 2 and fasting plasma glucose collected at baseline.

  5. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (Week 4).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 4.

    The change between the value of fasting plasma glucose collected at week 4 and fasting plasma glucose collected at baseline.

  6. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (Week 8).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 8.

    The change between the value of fasting plasma glucose collected at week 8 and fasting plasma glucose collected at baseline.

  7. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (Week 12).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12.

    The change between the value of fasting plasma glucose collected at week 12 or final visit and fasting plasma glucose collected at baseline.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12.

    The change between the value of blood glucose collected at week 12 or final visit and blood glucose collected at baseline. Meal tolerance test measures blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon through blood samples drawn before a meal and at 2 hours after the start of the meal.

  13. Change From Baseline in Blood Glucose Measured by Meal Tolerance Testing - Area Under the Curve at 2 Hours (AUC (0-2)).

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12.

    The change between the value of blood glucose collected at week 12 or final visit and blood glucose collected at baseline. Meal tolerance test measures blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon through blood samples drawn before a meal and at 2 hours after the start of the meal.
