Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple ascending-doses of TAK-875 in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Description:

TAK-875 is being developed as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Nonclinical data suggest that TAK-875 stimulates insulin secretion only at elevated blood glucose levels, with the potential for low hypoglycemic side effects.

The purpose of this phase 1, multiple ascending-dose study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of once daily oral doses of TAK-875 for 14 days in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Participants will be housed for a total of 8 consecutive overnight stays in the clinic, and will undergo oral glucose tolerance tests and standardized meal tests with multiple blood sampling throughout their clinic stay.

If elevated, the subject may be rescreened within 1 week, and may be included in study with agreement between Principal Investigator and the Takeda Global Research and Development Medical Monitor.

• The subject has a history of a psychiatric disorder that will affect the subject's ability to participate in the study.

• Has a history of angioedema.

• Had an acute, clinically significant illness within 30 days prior to Check-in, or any other condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study.

• Participant took or requires the use of any restricted medication or products within the timeframes listed.

• Is participating in another investigational study or has taken any investigational drug within 30 days prior to Check-in.

• Has poor venous access.

• Has been randomized in a previous TAK-875 study within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.
