December 7, 2023 updated by: Takeda

Treatment Preference for Weekly DPP-4 Inhibitors Versus Daily DPP-4 Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to examine the participant's preference for treatment with once-weekly dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor trelagliptin versus once-daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor alogliptin among the participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are being treated with once-daily dosing of DPP-4 inhibitor.

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

The drugs being tested in this study are called Trelagliptin and Alogliptin. This study will look at the participant's preference for treatment with Trelagliptin versus Alogliptin.

The study enrolled 60 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups:

  • Trelagliptin 100 mg, followed by Alogliptin 25 mg
  • Alogliptin 25 mg, followed by Trelagliptin 100 mg All participants will be asked to take one tablet of trelagliptin orally once a week or one tablet of alogliptin orally once a day throughout the study period.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is 16 weeks. Participants will make 3 visits to the clinic.

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.

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
Number of Participants by Their Treatment Preference Using Standardized Questions at the End of Treatment Period
Time Frame: At Week 16
Participants answered standardized questions about their preference of drug therapy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Participants selected one choice from the following 4 choices; either once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor or daily DPP-4 inhibitor, once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor, daily DPP-4 inhibitor, neither once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor nor daily DPP-4 inhibitor. Reported data was the number of participants with a choice of either trelagliptin (once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor) or alogliptin (once-daily DPP-4 inhibitor), trelagliptin, alogliptin, neither trelagliptin nor alogliptin.

IPD Plan Description

Takeda makes patient-level, de-identified data sets and associated documents available after applicable marketing approvals and commercial availability have been received, an opportunity for the primary publication of the research has been allowed, and other criteria have been met as set forth in Takeda's Data Sharing Policy (see www.TakedaClinicalTrials.com/approach for details). To obtain access, researchers must submit a legitimate academic research proposal for adjudication by an independent review panel, who will review the scientific merit of the research and the requestor's qualifications and conflict of interest that can result in potential bias. Once approved, qualified researchers who sign a data sharing agreement are provided access to these data in a secure research environment.
