April 23, 2014 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, 18-Week 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 Alone or in Combination With a Sulphonylurea

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the addition of canagliflozin relative to the addition of placebo in patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone or in combination with a sulphonylurea.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a double-blind (neither study staff or the patient will know the identity of the treatment assigned) study of canagliflozin where Chinese and other Asian adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone or in combination with a sulphonylurea (SU) will be randomized (assigned to 1 of 3 treatments by chance) to receive the addition of treatment with canagliflozin 100 mg once daily, canagliflozin 300 mg once daily, or matching placebo capsules (placebo is a treatment identical in appearance to canagliflozin but does not contain active drug). All patients will take orally (by mouth) 1 single-blind placebo capsule once daily before the first meal of the day for up to 2 weeks (last dose of single-blind placebo to be taken the day before the baseline (Day 1) visit. On Day 1, patients will take orally, once daily 1 capsule of canagliflozin 100 mg, canagliflozin 300 mg, or placebo before the first meal of the day for up to 18 weeks.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Patients with T2DM with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy or on metformin in combination with an SU at protocol-specified doses and having HbA1c >=7.0% and <=10.5% at Week -2 are eligible for enrollment in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of diabetic ketoacidosis, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), pancreas or beta cell transplantation, or diabetes secondary to pancreatitis or pancreatectomy
  • Has repeated (ie, 2 or more over a 1-week period) fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and/or fasting self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) measurements >=270 mg/dL (15 mmol/L) during the pre-treatment phase, despite reinforcement of diet and exercise counseling
  • History of a severe hypoglycemic episode within 6 months before screening

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 Glycosylated Hemoglobin (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.
