230The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alogliptin, once daily (QD) combined with an α-glucosidase inhibitor taken three times daily (TID) in type 2 diabetic patients with uncontrolled blood glucose.
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.
In Japan, α-glucosidase inhibitors are widely used as a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Because alogliptin has a different mechanism of action compared to α-glucosidase inhibitors, the study evaluated the efficacy and safety of alogliptin combined with an α-glucosidase inhibitor in type 2 diabetic patients with uncontrolled blood glucose while taking a α-glucosidase inhibitor and receiving diet and/or exercise therapies.
To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the concomitant use of alogliptin and an α-glucosidase inhibitor, subjects who participated in the present study could enter a long-term extension study SYR-322/OCT-003 (NCT01263509) that was planned separately.
Alogliptin 12.5 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and voglibose 0.2 mg, tablets, orally, three times daily for up to 12 weeks.
Alogliptin 25 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and voglibose 0.2 mg, tablets, orally, three times daily for up to 12 weeks.
Alogliptin placebo-matching tablets, orally, once daily and voglibose 0.2 mg, tablets, orally, three times daily for up to 12 weeks.
Inclusion Criteria: Had been receiving a stable dose and regimen of an α-glucosidase inhibitor for the last 4 weeks or longer before the start of the screening phase (Week -8) and during the screening phase. Had a glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value of 6.5% or more and below 10.0% 4 weeks after the start of the screening phase (Week -4). Had HbA1c differences within 10.0% at the start of the screening phase (Week -8) and 4 weeks after the start of the screening phase (Week -4) from the HbA1c value at the start of the screening phase. Was receiving a specific diet therapy and an exercise therapy (if any) for the last 4 weeks or longer before the start of the screening phase (Week -8). Exclusion Criteria: Had received any antidiabetic drug other than α-glucosidase inhibitors within the last 4 weeks before the start of the screening phase (Week -8) or during the screening phase.
