About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Factorial, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of 25 mg and 50 mg of TAK-875 in Combination With Sitagliptin 100 mg in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of TAK-875, once daily (QD), in combination with sitagliptin QD in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Read the detailed description

TAK-875 is being developed at Takeda Global Research and Development, Inc. as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with T2DM.

Sitagliptin is an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM.

This study will investigate the effects of the combination of TAK-875 with a DDP-4 inhibitor on glycosylated hemoglobin reduction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    The change in 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 week 12 relative to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12.

Secondary outcomes (1)

  1. Change from Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose

    The change between the fasting plasma glucose value collected at week 12 relative to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TAK-875, Sitagliptin and TAK-875 and Sitagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Takeda at 80 sites in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 25 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 4 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 80 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) (time frame: Baseline and Week 12.). 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 NCT01414920.

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 4 Apr 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
