Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared to diet and exercise, sulfonylurea, metformin and a combination of sulfonylurea and metformin for treating subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Description:

Of the approximately 19 million people in the United States who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, 90% to 95% have type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus varies among racial and ethnic populations and has been shown to increase with age, obesity, family history, history of gestational diabetes, and physical inactivity. Over the next decade, a disproportionate increase in the elderly population will result in a marked increase in diabetic patients, placing an ever-increasing burden on families and the health care system.

In response to this problem, Takeda Global Research & Development Center, Inc. is developing SYR-322 (alogliptin), a selective, orally available inhibitor of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is thought to be primarily responsible for the in vivo degradation of 2 peptide hormones released in response to nutrient ingestion, namely glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide.

Individuals who want to participate in this study will be required to provide written informed consent. Study participation is anticipated to be about 14 Weeks. Multiple procedures will occur at each visit which may include blood collection, urine collection, vital signs including sitting and standing blood pressure and pulse, body height and weight, physical examinations and electrocardiograms.

• History of proteinuria >1000 mg/day on a 12- or 24-hour urine collection OR a urine albumin/creatinine ratio >1000 µg/mg at Screening. If elevated, the subject was to be rescreened within 1 week.

• Serum creatinine =2.0 mg/dL.

• History of proliferative diabetic retinopathy OR any history of laser-treated retinopathy.

• History of treated peripheral or autonomic neuropathy.

• History of systolic dysfunction congestive heart failure.

• History of myocardial infarction within 1 year prior to Screening.

• History of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

• History of infection with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus.

• History of a psychiatric disorder that would affect the subject's ability to participate in the study.

• History of anaphylactic reaction(s) to any drug.

• History of angioedema.

• History of alcohol or substance abuse within the last 2 years.

• History of any surgery that could potentially affect the absorption of the study drug.

• Receipt of any investigational drug within the preceding 30 days or a history of receipt of an investigational antidiabetic drug within the preceding 90 days.
