Efficacy and Safety of Teneligliptin 40 mg in Type 2 Diabetes: A Pooled Analysis of Two Phase III Clinical Studies.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Teneligliptin, an antihyperglycemic agent belonging to the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor class, is usually prescribed at a dose of 20 mg/day. In Japan, the dose can be increased to 40 mg/day if needed. We examined the treatment response when the teneligliptin dose was increased from 20 to 40 mg in a post hoc pooled analysis of data from two 52-week, open-label, phase III clinical trials of teneligliptin 20-40 mg/day as monotherapy or combination treatment in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS:In both studies, patients received teneligliptin 20 mg for at least 28 weeks; thereafter the dose was increased if glycemic control was inadequate. The data set for this post hoc analysis comprised those patients whose teneligliptin dose was increased to 40 mg at week 28 (N = 204). We assessed (i) the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c reduction after teneligliptin dose increase [? - 0.1% change in HbA1c during weeks 28-52 (24 weeks); responders] and (ii) the response to teneligliptin 40 mg according to whether or not patients experienced HbA1c re-elevation (? 0.1% increase) during 28 weeks of teneligliptin 20 mg. RESULTS:Of 204 patients, 108 (52.9%) showed a response to teneligliptin 40 mg (HbA1c change ? - 0.1% during weeks 28-52) and had mean (± SD) HbA1c reduction of 0.50 ± 0.44%. Of patients showing re-elevation of HbA1c during treatment with teneligliptin 20 mg, 89/143 (62.2%) achieved HbA1c reduction after dose increase to 40 mg. Logistic regression analyses suggested that change in body weight is one of the parameters linked to HbA1c reduction after dose increase to teneligliptin 40 mg. The incidence of adverse events was not changed after teneligliptin dose increase. CONCLUSION:Increasing the dosage of teneligliptin from 20 to 40 mg/day has potential as a well-tolerated and effective option for treating type 2 diabetes.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:This post hoc analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/d received as modal dose, which may have differed from randomized dose, for treatment of focal seizures. METHODS:Data were pooled from four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III studies of adjunctive perampanel in patients (aged ?12 years) with focal seizures, with/without focal to bilateral tonic-clonic (FBTC) seizures: studies 304 (NCT00699972), 305 (NCT00699582), 306 (NCT00700310), and 335 (NCT01618695). Efficacy assessments included median percentage reductions in seizure frequency per 28 days and seizure-freedom rates for patients receiving placebo and perampanel 4 mg/d (modal dose). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were assessed in patients receiving perampanel 4 mg/d at their TEAE onset. Outcomes were also assessed with/without enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (EIASMs). RESULTS:The full analysis set included 979 patients with focal seizures (placebo: n = 616 [235 with FBTC seizures]; perampanel 4 mg/d: n = 363 [134 with FBTC seizures]). Compared with placebo, perampanel 4 mg/d conferred significantly greater median percentage reductions in seizure frequency per 28 days for focal (12.6% vs 21.1%; P = .0004) and FBTC seizures (17.4% vs 49.8%; P < .0001), and seizure-freedom rates for focal (0.8% vs 3.6%; P = .0018) and FBTC seizures (11.1% vs 18.7%; P = .0424). Seizure improvements with perampanel 4 mg/d were greater without EIASMs than with EIASMs. For assessment of TEAEs, overall 1376 patients with focal seizures received perampanel 4 mg/d at any time (FBTC seizures, n = 499). TEAEs with perampanel 4 mg/d occurred in 419 of 1376 (30.5%) and 148 of 499 (29.7%) patients with focal and FBTC seizures, respectively; most common was dizziness. The proportion of TEAEs was similar with or without EIASMs. SIGNIFICANCE:This post hoc analysis showed adjunctive perampanel 4 mg/d was efficacious and well tolerated in patients with focal seizures, with or without FBTC seizures. This dose may be a valuable treatment option in patients unable to tolerate higher perampanel doses up to 12 mg/d.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the 104-week safety of dapagliflozin in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsPooled analysis assessing general safety (nine phase III studies ≤104 weeks) and cardiovascular safety (21 phase IIb/III studies ≤208 weeks) by age (<65; ≥65; ≥75 years). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (±background glucose-lowering therapy) received: dapagliflozin 10 mg (n = 2026) vs. placebo (n = 1956) (nine-study pool); or dapagliflozin (2.5-50 mg; n = 5936) vs. control (placebo/comparator) (n = 3403) (21-study pool).ResultsAdverse events (AEs) and discontinuations owing to AEs were more common in older vs. younger patients, and were more frequent with dapagliflozin than placebo (AEs: <65 years: 73.1 vs. 70.7 %; ≥65 years: 77.4 vs. 73.1 %; ≥75 years: 80.4 vs. 75.3 %, respectively; discontinuations: <65 years: 5.9 vs. 5.0 %; ≥65 years: 14.4 vs. 12.2 %; ≥75 years: 26.8 vs. 22.1 %, respectively); serious AE (SAE) frequency was similar (<65 years: 11.0 vs. 11.8 %; ≥65 years: 20.0 vs. 20.2 %; ≥75 years: 19.6 vs. 18.2 %, respectively). Hypoglycaemia frequency was similar across age groups and was higher with dapagliflozin than placebo (<65 years: 18.0 vs. 13.4 %; ≥65 years: 20.2 vs. 17.7 %; ≥75 years: 17.5 vs. 16.9 %, respectively); major episodes were rare. Urinary tract infection frequency was similar between treatment groups in older patients, with no increase vs. younger patients (<65 years: 8.8 vs. 5.5 %; ≥65 years: 8.1 vs. 7.6 %; ≥75 years: 8.2 vs. 9.1 %, respectively); urinary tract infection SAEs were rare. Genital infection AEs were more common with dapagliflozin, with no increase in older patients (<65 years: 8.2 vs. 1.0 %; ≥65 years: 6.6 vs. 0.9 %; ≥75 years: 7.2 vs. 0.0 %, respectively) and no SAEs. Volume reduction AEs were uncommon, with a higher frequency with dapagliflozin vs. placebo and in patients ≥75 years (<65 years: 1.7 vs. 1.2 %; ≥65 years: 2.3 vs. 1.7 %; ≥75 years: 3.1 vs. 2.6 %, respectively). Dapagliflozin did not increase the risk of fractures (<65 years: 1.1 vs. 1.1 %; ≥65 years: 1.1 vs. 2.7 %; ≥75 years: 1.0 vs. 2.6 %, respectively) or falls (<65 years: 0.7 vs. 0.7 %; ≥65 years: 0.6 vs. 2.1 %; ≥75 years: 0.0 vs. 1.3 %, respectively), regardless of age. AEs of renal function were more common with dapagliflozin than placebo and increased with age (<65 years: 3.5 vs. 2.3 %; ≥65 years: 14.0 vs. 7.9 %; ≥75 years: 29.9 vs. 20.8 %, respectively). Most were non-serious small transient increases in serum creatinine. Dapagliflozin did not increase cardiovascular risk regardless of age [hazard ratio (95 % confidence interval) vs.Control<65 years: 0.726 (0.473, 1.114); ≥65 years: 0.879 (0.565, 1.366); ≥75 years: 0.950 (0.345, 2.617), respectively].ConclusionDapagliflozin treatment up to 104 weeks was well tolerated in older patients. Older dapagliflozin-treated patients had more renal AEs than placebo-treated patients; the majority of which were non-serious small transient changes in serum creatinine.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Oral pharmacotherapies to treat overactive bladder (OAB) are used less in men despite a similar prevalence of storage symptoms as women. The efficacy and safety of once-daily mirabegron 50 mg was evaluated in male OAB patients from five phase III studies that included placebo or antimuscarinic (tolterodine ER 4 mg or solifenacin 5 mg) as a comparator. METHODS:Three pooled 12-week placebo-controlled studies (mirabegron 50 mg versus placebo) and one 12-week non-inferiority phase IIIb study (BEYOND; mirabegron 50 mg versus solifenacin 5 mg) were used for efficacy (daily micturition frequency, urgency and incontinence episodes) and safety analyses. An additional 52-week active-controlled phase III safety study (mirabegron 50 mg versus tolterodine ER 4 mg) was included in the safety analysis. Male patients aged ?18 years with OAB for ?3 months were included in the analyses. Patients may also have a history of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) or concomitant use of ?1-blockers. RESULTS:In the pooled studies, mirabegron 50 mg demonstrated superiority versus placebo (treatment difference: -0.37 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.74, -0.01]) for reducing micturition frequency; improvements in urgency and incontinence were not significantly different between mirabegron 50 mg and placebo. In BEYOND, mirabegron 50 mg was comparable with solifenacin 5 mg for reducing micturition frequency, urgency, and incontinence episodes. Mirabegron was well tolerated at 12 and 52 weeks and overall treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were similar to those with placebo. CONCLUSIONS:In a male OAB population with or without LUTS associated with BPH/BPE, mirabegron 50 mg provided similar improvements in urgency, frequency, and incontinence as solifenacin 5 mg, and is a well-tolerated alternative to antimuscarinics. In the three pooled 12-week studies, significant differences were not seen for urgency and incontinence versus placebo, although mirabegron 50 mg did demonstrate significant improvements versus placebo for frequency.

Project description:BackgroundLong-term treatment with antipsychotic agents is indicated for patients with schizophrenia, but treatment is associated with adverse events (AEs) that contribute to medication discontinuation and nonadherence. Understanding drug safety profiles is critical to avoid unwanted side effects. Cariprazine is a potent dopamine D3/D2 receptor partial agonist that is approved for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia (EU, US) and acute manic/mixed and depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (US).MethodsPost hoc analyses were conducted to characterize the safety profile of cariprazine within the recommended 1.5-6 mg/d dose range for schizophrenia; data from 8 short- or long-term clinical trials were analyzed.ResultsIn the pooled cariprazine-treated safety population (n=2048), the rate of study completion was 52.8%, with withdrawal of consent, insufficient response, and AEs the most common reasons for premature discontinuation. The most commonly reported AEs (>10%) in the overall cariprazine-treatment group were akathisia (14.6%), insomnia (14.0%), and headache (12.1%); most AEs were considered mild (71.0%) or moderate (26.5%). Most akathisia was mild/moderate (97.5%) and >93% of patients remained on treatment; akathisia events were managed by rescue medications (56.3%) or dose reduction (18.3%). The metabolic profile of cariprazine was neutral in patients with short- and long-term exposure; mean weight gain was 1 kg for overall cariprazine, with an AE of weight increased reported for 5.1%. Other AEs of special interest that occurred at >3% for overall cariprazine were extrapyramidal disorder (7.0%), sedation (3.7%), and somnolence (3.1%); prolactin elevation, cognition impairment, sexual dysfunction, suicidality, and QT prolongation occurred at ≤1%.ConclusionAkathisia, the most common cariprazine-related AE, was mild/moderate and resulted in few study discontinuations; symptoms were well managed and most patients remained on treatment. Results of this analysis indicated that cariprazine in the recommended dose range was safe and generally well tolerated in patients with schizophrenia.Trial registrationStudies registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00404573, NCT01104779, NCT00694707, NCT01104766, NCT01104792, NCT00839852, and NCT01412060) and EudraCT (2012-005485-36).
