Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of adding alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared to glipizide with metformin in diabetic patients.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

For patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, metformin is the usual first-line therapy in addition to diet control and exercise. For those patients with inadequate glycemic control with metformin monotherapy or experiencing serious side effects of metformin, sulfonylurea is a popular choice as a second-line oral antidiabetic treatment.

Alogliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor currently being developed by Takeda for use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This study is designed to further explore the durability of efficacy and safety of alogliptin compared to glipizide in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients whose blood sugar level is inadequately controlled with metformin therapy.

The duration of this study will be approximately 2 years.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 52 [Baseline and Week 52]

      The change from Baseline to Week 52 in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound). The least squares (LS) means are from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, study schedule, and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline metformin dose and Baseline HbA1c as covariates.

    2. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 104 [Baseline and Week 104]

      The change from Baseline to Week 104 in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound). The least squares (LS) means are from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, study schedule, and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline metformin dose and Baseline HbA1c as covariates.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin at Other Time Points [Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 26, 39, 65, 78, and 91.]

      The change from Baseline over time in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound). LS means are from an ANCOVA model with treatment, study schedule, and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline metformin dose and Baseline HbA1c as covariates.

    2. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose Over Time [Baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, and 104.]

      The change from Baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was assessed at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, and 104. LS means are from an ANCOVA model with treatment, study schedule, and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline FPG and Baseline metformin dose as covariates.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Glycosylated Hemoglobin Less Than or Equal to 6.5% [Weeks 26, 52, 78, and 104.]

      The percentage of participants with HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5% at Weeks 26, 52, 78, and 104. Participants who did not complete the scheduled Week 104 visit were assessed based on their response at the time of discontinuation.

    4. Percentage of Participants With Glycosylated Hemoglobin Less Than or Equal to 7.0% [Weeks 26, 52, 78, and 104.]

      Percentage of participants with HbA1c ≤ 7.0% at Weeks 26, 52, 78, and 104. Participants who did not complete the scheduled Week 104 visit were assessed based on their response at the time of discontinuation.

    5. Change From Baseline in Body Weight Over Time [Baseline and Weeks 12, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, and 104.]

      LS Means are from an ANCOVA model with treatment, study schedule and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline weight and Baseline metformin dose as covariates.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 52
    Description The change from Baseline to Week 52 in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound). The least squares (LS) means are from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, study schedule, and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline metformin dose and Baseline HbA1c as covariates.
    Time Frame Baseline and Week 52

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The Per-protocol set included all randomized patients who took at least 1 dose of double-blind study drug, with a Baseline assessment and at least 1 post-baseline assessment for that variable and who had no major protocol violations. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used.
    Arm/Group Title Metformin + Alogliptin 12.5 mg Metformin + Alogliptin 25 mg Metformin + Glipizide
    Arm/Group Description Alogliptin 12.5 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and the maximum tolerated dose of metformin (1500 mg to 3300 mg daily) for up to 104 weeks. Alogliptin 25 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and the maximum tolerated dose of metformin (1500 mg to 3300 mg daily) for up to 104 weeks. Glipizide 5 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and the maximum tolerated dose of metformin (1500 mg to 3300 mg daily) for up to 104 weeks. After at least 2 weeks of treatment but prior to Week 20, participants with persistent hyperglycemia (fasting plasma glucose ≥250 mg/dL) underwent a dose titration of glipizide up to 20 mg in 5-mg increments in 4-week intervals.

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Metformin + Alogliptin 25 mg, Metformin + Glipizide
    Comments The null hypotheses were tested in a fixed order at the 1-sided 0.0125 significance level at Weeks 52 and 104, independently: H01: Alogliptin 25 mg was inferior in HbA1c change from Baseline vs glipizide. H02: Alogliptin 12.5 mg was inferior vs glipizide. H03: Alogliptin 25 mg was not superior vs glipizide. H04: Alogliptin 12.5 mg was not superior vs glipizide. Each subsequent null hypothesis was tested only if all previously tested null hypotheses were rejected with respect to Weeks 52 and 104.
    Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
    Comments Non-inferiority was met if the upper limit of the 1-sided 98.75% CI for the difference between alogliptin 25 mg and glipizide in HbA1c change from Baseline was less than 0.3%. If the null hypothesis H01 was rejected, then H02 was tested to show noninferiority of alogliptin 12.5 mg versus glipizide with a margin of 0.3%. Non-inferiority was met if the upper limit of the 1-sided 98.75% CI for the difference between alogliptin 12.5 mg and glipizide in HbA1c change from Baseline was less than 0.3%.

    7. Primary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 104
    Description The change from Baseline to Week 104 in HbA1c (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound). The least squares (LS) means are from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, study schedule, and geographic region as class variables, and Baseline metformin dose and Baseline HbA1c as covariates.
    Time Frame Baseline and Week 104

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The Per-protocol set included all randomized patients who took at least 1 dose of double-blind study drug, with a Baseline assessment and at least 1 post-baseline assessment for that variable and who had no major protocol violations. Last observation carried forward was used (LOCF).
    Arm/Group Title Metformin + Alogliptin 12.5 mg Metformin + Alogliptin 25 mg Metformin + Glipizide
    Arm/Group Description Alogliptin 12.5 mg, tablets, orally, once daily and the maximum tolerated dose of metformin (1500 mg to 3300 mg daily) for up to 104 weeks.

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Metformin + Alogliptin 25 mg, Metformin + Glipizide
    Comments The null hypotheses were tested in a fixed order at the 1-sided 0.0125 significance level at Weeks 52 and 104, independently: H01: Alogliptin 25 mg was inferior in HbA1c change from Baseline vs glipizide. H02: Alogliptin 12.5 mg was inferior vs glipizide. H03: Alogliptin 25 mg was not superior vs glipizide. H04: Alogliptin 12.5 mg was not superior vs glipizide. Each subsequent null hypothesis was tested only if all previously tested null hypotheses were rejected with respect to Weeks 52 and 104.
    Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
    Comments Non-inferiority was met if the upper limit of the 1-sided 98.75% CI for the difference between alogliptin 25 mg and glipizide in HbA1c change from Baseline was less than 0.3%. If the null hypothesis H01 was rejected, then H02 was tested to show noninferiority of alogliptin 12.5 mg versus glipizide with a margin of 0.3%. Non-inferiority was met if the upper limit of the 1-sided 98.75% CI for the difference between alogliptin 12.5 mg and glipizide in HbA1c change from Baseline was less than 0.3%.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Collection of adverse events commenced from the time the participant was first administered double-blind study medication until the end of the study and from spontaneous reporting for 30 days after the end of treatment (up to 108 weeks).
    Adverse Event Reporting Description At each visit the investigator had to document any occurrence of adverse events and abnormal laboratory findings. Any event spontaneously reported by the participant or observed by the investigator was recorded, irrespective of the relation to study treatment.
