Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 24-week treatment with metformin hydrochloride 500 mg once daily added on to alogliptin (SYR-322) 25 mg in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control despite treatment with alogliptin 25 mg in addition to diet and exercise therapy.

Detailed description

The drugs being tested in this study are called alogliptin and metformin hydrochloride. Alogliptin in combination with metformin hydrochloride was being tested to treat people who have Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with inadequate glycemic control despite treatment with alogliptin in addition to diet and exercise. This study looked at the efficacy and safety of alogliptin 25 mg once daily (QD) + metformin hydrochloride 500 mg QD compared to alogliptin 25 mg QD + metformin hydrochloride 250 mg twice daily (BID) and alogliptin 25 mg QD administered alone. The study enrolled 374 patients. Participants were randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups-which remained undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there was an urgent medical need): * Alogliptin 25 mg QD + metformin hydrochloride 500 mg QD * Alogliptin 25 mg QD + metformin hydrochloride 250 mg BID * Alogliptin 25 mg QD This multi-center trial was conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study was 36 weeks (12-week screening period and 24-week treatment period). Participants made multiple visits to the clinic including a final visit 24 weeks after the start of study medication.

A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

The change in the value of HbA1c (NGSP) (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at End of Treatment Period relative to Baseline. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. An Analysis of Covariate (ANCOVA) model with change from Baseline as a dependent variable and Baseline and treatment as independent variables was used for main analyses.

Time frame: Baseline and End of Treatment (EOT) (Up to Week 24)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.
