About this study

Official title: A Long-Term, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Long-Term Safety of SYR-322 When Used in Combination With Rapid-Acting Insulin Secretagogues in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes in Japan

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alogliptin as an add-on to a rapid-acting insulin secretagogue (medicine that stimulates insulin release) in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate blood glucose control despite treatment with a rapid-acting insulin secretagogue as well as diet and exercise therapies.

Read the detailed description

One alogliptin 25 mg tablet was orally administered once daily before breakfast for up to 52 weeks.

The dose of alogliptin was adjusted according to the severity of the participant's renal dysfunction based on serum creatinine (SCr) levels. Participants with moderate renal dysfunction (SCr, >1.4 - ≤2.4 mg/dL for men and >1.2 - ≤ 2.0 mg/dL for women) received alogliptin 12.5 mg tablets.

Being tested
Alogliptin, Rapid-acting insulin secretagogue

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious TEAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was life threatening, required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, led to a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event that may have required intervention to prevent any of items above.

    Measured: 52 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin collected at Week 52 or at the final visit relative to Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response

    Clinical response is defined as an HbA1c level less than 5.8% or less than 6.5% at Week 52 or at the final visit.

    Measured: Week 52

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Glucose

    The change in the value of fasting glucose collected at Week 52 or the final visit relative to Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Alogliptin and Rapid-acting insulin secretagogue in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Takeda at 14 sites in Japan.

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 11 inclusion and 19 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 21 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Japan. 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. 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 21 Apr 2014). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: 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 Apr 2014.
