An Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability Study of Canagliflozin in the Treatment of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Monotherapy

September 5, 2014 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Arm, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Canagliflozin in the Treatment of Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 different doses of canagliflozin compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are receiving treatment with metformin monotherapy (ie, treatment with a single drug) and have inadequate glycemic (blood sugar) control.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither the patient nor the study doctor will know the identity of assigned study drug), placebo-controlled, parallel-group,3-arm (3 treatment groups) multicenter study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of canagliflozin compared to placebo (a capsule that is identical in appearance to canagliflozin but does not contain active drug) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are not achieving an adequate response from current antihyperglycemic therapy with metformin to control their diabetes. Canagliflozin (a Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitor) is currently under development to lower blood sugar levels in patients with T2DM. Patients will take single-blind placebo capsules orally (by mouth) for 2 weeks before randomization. Patients will be randomly assigned canagliflozin or matching placebo, orally, twice daily, with 1 capsule taken with the morning meal and 1 capsule taken with the evening meal (2 capsules per day) and concurrent with metformin, if applicable, for up to 18 weeks. The dosing time of metformin should remain the same throughout the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 18
Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 18
The table below shows the least-squares (LS) mean change in HbA1c from Baseline to Week 18 for each treatment group. The statistical analyses show the treatment differences (ie, each canagliflozin group minus placebo) in the LS mean change.
Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 18

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
