Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared to diet and exercise, sulfonylurea, metformin and a combination of sulfonylurea and metformin for treating subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Of the approximately 19 million people in the United States who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, 90% to 95% have type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus varies among racial and ethnic populations and has been shown to increase with age, obesity, family history, history of gestational diabetes, and physical inactivity. Over the next decade, a disproportionate increase in the elderly population will result in a marked increase in diabetic patients, placing an ever-increasing burden on families and the health care system.

In response to this problem, Takeda Global Research & Development Center, Inc. is developing SYR-322 (alogliptin), a selective, orally available inhibitor of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is thought to be primarily responsible for the in vivo degradation of 2 peptide hormones released in response to nutrient ingestion, namely glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide.

Individuals who want to participate in this study will be required to provide written informed consent. Study participation is anticipated to be about 14 Weeks. Multiple procedures will occur at each visit which may include blood collection, urine collection, vital signs including sitting and standing blood pressure and pulse, body height and weight, physical examinations and electrocardiograms.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Has type 2 diabetes mellitus and were either receiving no current treatment or currently treated with a sulfonylurea, metformin, or a combination of a sulfonylurea and metformin but experiencing inadequate glycemic control. Subjects qualified as receiving no current treatment if 1 of the following conditions applied:

• Subject was newly diagnosed (ie, had not received any treatment).
• Subject was treated with diet and exercise alone for the 3 months prior to Screening
• Subject had received <7 continuous days of any antidiabetic therapy within the 3 months prior to Screening.
• Subject had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus based on current American Diabetes Association criteria: fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL, oral glucose tolerance test at 2 hours after administration of the glucose load must have been ≥200 mg/dL, or symptoms of diabetes plus casual plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL.
• Body mass index ≥23 kg/m2 and ≤40 kg/m2.
• Fasting C-peptide concentration ≥0.8 ng/mL.
• Glycosylated hemoglobin concentration between 6.8% and 11.0%.
• Fasting plasma glucose >126 mg/dL at Screening.
• No treatment within the 3 months prior to Screening with any other agents known to have effects on glucose (other than as described above, a sulfonylurea, metformin, or a combination of a sulfonylurea and metformin in subjects on antidiabetics), including but not limited to the following:

• Other antidiabetic agents
• Investigational antidiabetic agents
• Niacin
• Regular use of systemic glucocorticoids.
• No treatment within the 3 months prior to Screening with weight-loss drugs
• If taking other non-excluded medications, must have been on a stable dose of medication for at least 4 weeks.
• Diastolic blood pressure ≤110 mm Hg and a systolic pressure of ≤180 mm Hg.
• Female subjects could neither be pregnant (confirmed by laboratory testing) nor lactating, and if of childbearing potential must have been practicing adequate contraception.
• Able and willing to monitor their own blood glucose concentrations with a home glucose monitor.
• No major illness or debility that in the investigator's opinion prohibited the subject from completing the study.
• Hemoglobin ≥12 g/dL for males and ≥10 g/dL for females.
• Hepatic transaminase ≤2 x upper limit of normal.

Exclusion Criteria

• History of cancer, other than squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, that had not been in full remission for at least 1 year prior to Screening.
• History of proteinuria >1000 mg/day on a 12- or 24-hour urine collection OR a urine albumin/creatinine ratio >1000 μg/mg at Screening. If elevated, the subject was to be rescreened within 1 week.

• History of treated peripheral or autonomic neuropathy.
• History of systolic dysfunction congestive heart failure.
• History of myocardial infarction within 1 year prior to Screening.
• History of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
• History of infection with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus.

• History of anaphylactic reaction(s) to any drug.
• History of angioedema.
• History of alcohol or substance abuse within the last 2 years.
