Brief summary
The hypothesis of this Phase 2, 12-week study, is that DS-8500a will improve glycemic control relative to placebo, based on changes in HbA1c, with acceptable safety and tolerability, in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who are treated with metformin.
Interventions
Two sitagliptin 50 mg tablets, over-encapsulated to provide a once-daily dose of 100 mg, for oral administration
DS-8500a 25mg tablet for oral administration
Placebo matching DS-8500a tablet for oral administration
Placebo matching sitagliptin over-capsule for oral administration

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | Glycated hemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the three-month average glucose concentration in the blood. Target HbA1c for Type 2 diabetics was less than 7% at the time of this trial. Negative scores show improvement from baseline. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline in LDL-C at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | LDL-C is known as the bad cholesterol, so a lower score (negative change) means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in HDL-C at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | HDL-C is known as the good cholesterol, so a higher score (positive change) means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Non-HDL-C at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | Non-HDL-C is the measure of bad cholesterol in the blood, including triglycerides and LDL-C, so a negative change means improvement. The equation for Non-HDL-C = LDL-C + (triglycerides/5). |
| Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. The body uses them for energy. Some triglycerides are needed for good health. But high triglycerides might raise the risk of heart disease. Since Type 2 diabetics tend to have high triglycerides, a negative change means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Area-Under-the Curve 0-3 Hours (AUC0-3h) of Plasma Glucose (PG) in Response to the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT) at Week 4 | Baseline, Week 4 | The MMTT requires a participant to drink a mixed meal, such as Boost or Ensure, that contains protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The goal of the test is to find out how much insulin the pancreas makes in response to food by measuring the level of glucose in the blood. The lower the level of glucose in the blood during the first three hours after the test (AUC0-3h), the more insulin the body has made in response to the test. This would mean a negative change shows improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in AUC0-3h of PG in Response to the MMTT at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | The MMTT requires a participant to drink a mixed meal, such as Boost or Ensure, that contains protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The goal of the test is to find out how much insulin the pancreas makes in response to food by measuring the level of glucose in the blood. The lower the level of glucose in the blood during the first three hours after the test (AUC0-3h), the more insulin the body has made in response to the test. This would mean a negative change shows improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (TC) at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | Total cholesterol is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) - the bad cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) - the good cholesterol, and triglycerides. The equation to calculate total cholesterol is: LDL + HDL + (triglycerides/5) = total cholesterol. |
| Change From Baseline in Cmax of PG in Response to MMTT at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | Cmax measures the highest amount of glucose in the blood, so a negative change means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 2 | Baseline, Week 2 | Normal fasting plasma glucose -- or blood sugar -- is between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for people who do not have diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes typically have FPG that is too high, so a negative change from baseline means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 4 | Baseline, Week 4 | Normal fasting plasma glucose -- or blood sugar -- is between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for people who do not have diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes typically have FPG that is too high, so a negative change from baseline means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 8 | Baseline, Week 8 | Normal fasting plasma glucose -- or blood sugar -- is between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for people who do not have diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes typically have FPG that is too high, so a negative change from baseline means improvement. |
| Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 12 | Baseline, Week 12 | Normal fasting plasma glucose -- or blood sugar -- is between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for people who do not have diabetes. People with Type 2 diabetes typically have FPG that is too high, so a negative change from baseline means improvement. |
| Count of Participants With HbA1c Less Than 7.0% at Week 12 | Week 12 | HbA1C less than 7% is the success goal for many Type 2 diabetics. |
| Change From Baseline in Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of PG in Response to MMTT at Week 4 | Baseline, Week 4 | Cmax measures the highest amount of glucose in the blood, so a negative change means improvement. |

Outcome results
Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12
Glycated hemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the three-month average glucose concentration in the blood. Target HbA1c for Type 2 diabetics was less than 7% at the time of this trial. Negative scores show improvement from baseline.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Population: Modified Intent to Treat (mITT) Set, defined as all participants in the Safety Set who have a baseline measurement and at least 1 post-baseline measurement. mITT was used for analysis because one of the sites had a fire so 16 participants who were included in the baseline population were not included in analyses.

Change From Baseline in Non-HDL-C at Week 12
Non-HDL-C is the measure of bad cholesterol in the blood, including triglycerides and LDL-C, so a negative change means improvement. The equation for Non-HDL-C = LDL-C + (triglycerides/5).
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Population: mITT
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS-8500a 25mg | Change From Baseline in Non-HDL-C at Week 12 | -8.9 Percent change in Non-HDL-C | Standard Deviation 14.89 |

| Sitagliptin 100 mg | Change From Baseline in Non-HDL-C at Week 12 | -4.7 Percent change in Non-HDL-C | Standard Deviation 19.1 |
| Placebo | Change From Baseline in Non-HDL-C at Week 12 | -2.5 Percent change in Non-HDL-C | Standard Deviation 17.02 |
Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (TC) at Week 12
Total cholesterol is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) - the bad cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) - the good cholesterol, and triglycerides. The equation to calculate total cholesterol is: LDL + HDL + (triglycerides/5) = total cholesterol.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Population: mITT
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS-8500a 25mg | Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (TC) at Week 12 | -5.6 percent change in TC | Standard Deviation 11.95 |

| DS-8500a 75 mg | Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (TC) at Week 12 | -1.8 percent change in TC | Standard Deviation 12.58 |
| Sitagliptin 100 mg | Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (TC) at Week 12 | -3.6 percent change in TC | Standard Deviation 14.34 |
| Placebo | Change From Baseline in Total Cholesterol (TC) at Week 12 | -1.7 percent change in TC | Standard Deviation 13.57 |
Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. The body uses them for energy. Some triglycerides are needed for good health. But high triglycerides might raise the risk of heart disease. Since Type 2 diabetics tend to have high triglycerides, a negative change means improvement.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Population: mITT
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS-8500a 25mg | Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12 | -12.4 percent change in triglycerides | Standard Deviation 22.35 |
| DS-8500a 50 mg | Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12 | -1.9 percent change in triglycerides | Standard Deviation 78.27 |
| DS-8500a 75 mg | Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12 | -5.8 percent change in triglycerides | Standard Deviation 27.71 |
| Sitagliptin 100 mg | Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12 | -7.0 percent change in triglycerides | Standard Deviation 27.9 |
| Placebo | Change From Baseline in Triglycerides at Week 12 | -3.0 percent change in triglycerides | Standard Deviation 27.76 |
