Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1 study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of MEDI0382 (Cotadutide) in Japanese T2DM patients.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy of ascending doses of Cotadutide in Japanese obese subjects with T2DM. Approximately 20 subjects will be screened in total and 16 subjects will be randomized to Cotadutide or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. Those subjects who receive Cotadutide will be titrated up to HCTD. The study has a 2-week screening period, a run-in period of 9 days and an up to 7-week up-titration treatment period followed by a 3-week treatment extension period (if applicable), followed by a 28-day follow-up period.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Provision of signed and dated written informed consent prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses.

2. Subject must be 20 to 74 years of age at screening.

3. HbA1c range of 6.5% to 8.5% at screening and run-in visit.

4. Willing and able to self-inject investigational product for the duration of the study.

5. Individuals who are diagnosed with T2DM and have inadequate glycaemic control with diet and exercise.

6. Individuals whose current condition at enrolment are drug naïve defined as

• Never received medical treatment for diabetes (insulin and/or other anti-diabetic agents [oral or injection]) OR
• Received medical treatment for diabetes for less than 30 days since diagnosis.Subjects also should not have a history of insulin therapy within 2 weeks of screening (with the exception of insulin therapy during a hospitalization for other causes or use in gestational diabetes) OR
• Previously received medical treatment for diabetes but have not been treated within 6 weeks of randomization.

7. BMI within the range 25 to 35 kg/m2 at screening.

8. Negative pregnancy test for female subjects.

9. Female subjects of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a male partner must be willing to use at least one highly effective method of contraception from screening and up to 4 weeks after the last dose of investigational product.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects with any of the following results at screening and run-in visit

2. History of, or any existing condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product, put the subject at risk, influence the subject's ability to participate or affect the interpretation of the results of the study and/or any subject unable or unwilling to follow study procedures.

3. Acute pancreatitis at screening or history of chronic pancreatitis or serum triglyceride levels > 11 mmol/L (1000 mg/dL) at screening.

4. Significant inflammatory bowel disease, gastroparesis or other severe disease or surgery affecting the upper GI tract (including weight-reducing surgery and procedures), which may affect gastric emptying or could affect the interpretation of safety and tolerability data.

5. Significant hepatic disease (except for NASH or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease without portal hypertension or cirrhosis) and/or subjects with any of the following results at screening or run-in visit.

• Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≥ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥ 3 × ULN
• Total bilirubin (TBL) ≥ 2 × ULN

6. Impaired renal function defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/minute/1.73m2 at screening or run-in visit (GFR estimated according to Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] using MDRD Study Equation IDMS-traceable [International System of Units (SI)]).

7. Poorly controlled hypertension defined as, For age ≤ 55 years; Systolic BP > 140 mmHg Diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg For age > 55 years; Systolic BP > 150 mmHg Diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg After 10 minutes of supine rest and confirmed by repeated measurement at screening or run-in visit. Subjects who fail BP screening criteria may be considered for 24-hour or day time ABPM at the discretion of the investigator. Subjects who maintain a mean 24-hour BP < 130/80 mmHg with a preserved nocturnal dip of > 15% or day time BP < 135/85 mmHg will be considered eligible

8. Resting heart rate is ≥ 80 bpm at screening or run-in visit.

9. Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of the 12-lead ECG or any abnormalities that may interfere with the interpretation of serial ECG changes, including QTc interval changes at screening, as judged by the investigator.

10. Prolonged QT intervals corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 450 msec, or family history of long QT-segment at screening or run-in visit.
