About this study

Official title: Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study Comparing SYR-322 Alone and Combination SYR-322 With Pioglitazone Versus Placebo on Postprandial Lipids in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Alogliptin, once daily (QD), taken by itself and with pioglitazone on postprandial lipid measures in type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

SYR-322 (alogliptin) is a selective, orally available inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase IV being developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is the primary enzyme involved in the in vivo degradation of at least 2 peptide hormones released in response to nutrient ingestion, namely glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide.

Pioglitazone HCl (ACTOS®) is a thiazolidinedione developed by Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Osaka, Japan). Pioglitazone HCl depends on the presence of insulin for its mechanism of action.

This study will assess the effects of alogliptin and alogliptin coadministered with pioglitazone HCl on postprandial lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in participants with type 2 diabetes. Individuals who participate in this study will be required to commit to a screening visit and up to 6 additional visits at the study center. Study participation is anticipated to be about 20 weeks (or approximately 5 months). Multiple procedures will occur at each visit which may include fasting, blood collection, urine collection, physical examinations and electrocardiograms. At 3 of the visits a meal will be served that must be eaten within 10 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Alogliptin and Pioglitazone and Alogliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Takeda at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands, Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 May 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Postprandial Incremental Area Under the Curve for Total Triglycerides at Week 16. (time frame: Baseline and Week 16.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00655863, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2013.
