Efficacy and safety of the G protein-coupled receptor 119 agonist DS-8500a in Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with inadequate glycemic control on sitagliptin: A phase 2 randomized placebo-controlled study.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:We evaluated the efficacy and safety of DS-8500a as add-on therapy to sitagliptin in Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial randomized patients aged ?20 years with hemoglobin A1c ?7.0% and <9.0%, and inadequate glycemic control with sitagliptin 50-mg monotherapy to receive 25 or 75 mg DS-8500a, or a placebo, orally. The primary end-point was change from baseline to day 28 in 24-h weighted mean glucose. Secondary end-points included change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose, 2-h postprandial plasma glucose and lipid profiles. RESULTS:Overall, 29, 28 and 27 patients in the placebo, 25- and 75-mg groups, respectively, were analyzed. A significant dose-dependent reduction was observed in 24-h weighted mean glucose (linear: P = 0.0006, saturated at 25 mg: P = 0.0003, responded from 75 mg: P = 0.0176) when compared with the placebo (25 mg: -13.19 mg/dL [-0.73 mmol/L], P = 0.0044 vs placebo and 75 mg: -16.12 mg/dL [-0.89 mmol/L], P = 0.0006 vs placebo). A significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose at 75 mg vs placebo was observed (P < 0.001). At 25 and 75 mg, significant reductions of 2-h postprandial plasma glucose (after breakfast), total cholesterol, low-cholesterol and triglycerides were observed (all P < 0.05), with a (non-significant) trend towards increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Both doses of DS-8500a were well tolerated. There were no significant treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation during the study. CONCLUSIONS:DS-8500a was well tolerated, and showed significant glycemic benefits and favorable changes in lipid profile in Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with inadequate glycemic control with sitagliptin therapy.

Project description:IntroductionG protein-coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) is a promising target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as both insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion can be promoted with a single drug. We compared the efficacy and safety of the GPR119 agonist DS-8500a with placebo and sitagliptin 50 mg in Japanese patients with T2DM.MethodsThis randomized, double-blind, parallel-group comparison study was conducted in Japan (trial registration NCT02628392, JapicCTI-153068). Eligible patients aged ≥ 20 years with T2DM and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 7.0% and < 10.0% were randomized to receive placebo, DS-8500a (25, 50, or 75 mg), or sitagliptin 50 mg once daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was change in HbA1c from baseline to week 12. Secondary endpoints included change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glucose AUC0-3h during a meal tolerance test, 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hr-PPG), and changes in lipid parameters (total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-) cholesterol, and triglycerides) at week 12. Safety endpoints included adverse events, hypoglycemia, and clinical/laboratory variables.ResultsDS-8500a demonstrated dose-dependent HbA1c lowering compared with placebo at week 12: change from baseline - 0.23% (p = 0.0173), - 0.37% (p = 0.0001), and - 0.44% (p < 0.0001) in the 25-mg, 50-mg, and 75-mg groups, respectively. At 50- and 75-mg doses, DS-8500a significantly lowered FPG, glucose AUC0-3h, and 2hr-PPG compared with placebo. The glucose-lowering effect was maintained up to 12 weeks. DS-8500a did not lower any of the above parameters to a greater extent than sitagliptin. Compared with placebo and sitagliptin, DS-8500a 50 and 75 mg significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides, and significantly increased HDL-cholesterol. All DS-8500a doses were well tolerated. Two cases of clinically relevant drug-related hypoglycemia occurred in the DS-8500a 50-mg group.ConclusionDS-8500a was well tolerated and demonstrated significant glucose-lowering effects and favorable changes in lipid profiles up to 12 weeks in Japanese patients with T2DM.FundingDaiichi Sankyo Co.

Project description:IntroductionDaily dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are commonly used with other orally administered antihyperglycemic agents (AHA), as combination therapy, to treat Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. When combination therapy is indicated, use of a once-weekly (q.w.) orally administered DPP-4 inhibitor might be an appropriate therapeutic option for some patients.MethodsA 52-week trial was conducted to assess the safety and tolerability (primary objectives) and glycemic efficacy (secondary objectives) of the q.w. DPP-4 inhibitor omarigliptin as add-on therapy to five different classes of orally administered AHA [sulfonylurea (SU), glinide (GL), biguanide (BG), thiazolidinedione (TZD), or α-glucosidase inhibitor (AGI)] commonly used in Japan and having different mechanisms of drug action from DPP-4 inhibitors. The trial consisted of an initial 24-week double-blind, placebo-controlled period during which patients (stratified by background AHA) were randomized to omarigliptin 25 mg q.w. or placebo, followed by a 28-week open-label period during which patients on placebo were switched to omarigliptin.ResultsAfter 24 weeks, the percentages of patients with adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, drug-related AEs, AEs of symptomatic hypoglycemia, or who discontinued from trial medication because of an AE were generally similar in the omarigliptin and placebo groups, in all background AHA strata and in the overall population. From a mean baseline HbA1c of approximately 8.0%, the placebo-adjusted least-squares mean changes from baseline ranged from -0.80% (AGI stratum) to -1.16% (TZD stratum); p < 0.001 for all background AHA strata. During the open-label period, no safety signals emerged with longer-term treatment. At week 52, the change from baseline in HbA1c in the omarigliptin/omarigliptin group was similar to that of the placebo/omarigliptin group.ConclusionsAddition of once-weekly omarigliptin to AHA therapy with an SU, GL, BG, TZD, or AGI for up to 52 weeks was generally safe and well tolerated, and provided persistent efficacy.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01697592.FundingMSD K.K., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA.
