About this study

Official title: A One-Year Phase 3, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of AD 4833-536 in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of pioglitazone-azilsartan, once daily (QD), in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

AD-4833-536 is a combination of AD-4833 (pioglitazone) and TAK-536 (azilsartan). Pioglitazone is an oral antidiabetic agent that acts by reducing insulin resistance and approved for treatment of adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Azilsartan is a angiotensin II receptor blocker that modulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system that regulates blood pressure. In a recent clinical trial conducted in subjects with moderately poor to poor control of their type 2 diabetes mellitus, azilsartan coadministered with pioglitazone showed a reduction in hemoglobin A1C and fasting plasma glucose levels.

After a one week screening period, subjects will be stratified to receive a starting dose of pioglitazone-azilsartan (30 mg + 20 mg or 45 mg + 20 mg).

The planned open-label treatment period was 52 weeks; however due to formulation issues, the study was prematurely discontinued and efficacy data were not analyzed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events.

    The Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, with an incidence > 5%.

    Measured: On Occurrence (up to 52 Weeks).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from Baseline for Glycosylated Hemoglobin.

    The change between 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 each week indicated including final visit, and Glycosylated Hemoglobin collected at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 52.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pioglitazone-Azilsartan in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Takeda.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Formulation issues.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of Adverse Events. (time frame: On Occurrence (up to 52 Weeks).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 May 2012.
