Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Cotadutide in Chinese Overweight/Obese Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

A Phase 1 Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Cotadutide in Overweight/Obese Subjects with Chinese ancestry with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy of ascending doses of cotadutide in overweight or obese subjects with T2DM. This study will enroll subjects aged 18 to 74 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 and ≤ 35 kg/m2. Subjects will have a diagnosis of T2DM and inadequate blood glucose control as defined by a HbA1c of 7% to 8.5%, and will be on metformin monotherapy in the three months prior to screening. Total 16 Chinese subjects will be randomized to cotadutide or placebo in a 3:1 ratio (cotadutide [n=12] and placebo [n=4]) at multicentre in China mainland. Those subjects who receive cotadutide once daily SC will be titrated to a maximum of 600 μg once daily SC, beginning at 50 μg once daily SC. The study has about 2 weeks screening period, a run-in period of 10 days and an up to 7-week up-titration treatment period followed by a 3-week treatment extension period at the dose of 600 μg and followed by a 28-day follow-up period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Experimental: Cotadutide in people with Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 2 sites in China.

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 7 inclusion and 36 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 7 Nov 2023. 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: Baseline until the follow-up period (28 days post last dose), 98 days in total). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
