A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety of Canagliflozin in Older Children and Adolescents With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

March 1, 2017 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

Open-Label, Multicenter, Multiple Oral Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety of Canagliflozin in Older Children and Adolescents ≥10 to <18 Years of Age With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Currently on a Stable Dose of Metformin

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (blood levels) and pharmacodynamics (the action or effects a drug has on the body) of canagliflozin in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 10 to 17 years (inclusive). Other purposes are to investigate safety and assess the ease of swallowing the tablets.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The participants who meet the eligibility criteria, will receive a single dose of placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) and this will be followed by baseline 24 hour pharmacodynamic assessments. On the next morning participants will receive the first canagliflozin dose and will be discharged home to continue canagliflozin treatment for 13 additional days. There will be 2 treatment groups (8 participants in each): the first group will receive canagliflozin 100 mg daily, the second group will receive either canagliflozin 300 mg or canagliflozin 50 mg daily. The canagliflozin dose for the second treatment group will be determined after the sponsor has evaluated the results from the first 5 participants. On day 14 of treatment the participants will be admitted again for 24 hour pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics assessments. The participants will continue to take their normal dose and schedule of metformin during the entire study. The total duration of the study is approximately 50 days.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin following multiple oral doses of canagliflozin
Time Frame: From Days 14 to 17
Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin are used to evaluate how long canagliflozin stays in the body.
From Days 14 to 17

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Plasma glucose concentration following multiple oral doses of canagliflozin
Time Frame: From Days -1 to 1, and from Days 14 to 15
Plasma glucose is equal to the amount of glucose in the plasma at the defined time points.
From Days -1 to 1, and from Days 14 to 15
Urine glucose excretion following multiple oral doses of canagliflozin
Time Frame: From Days -1 to 1, and from Days 14 to 15
Urine glucose excretion is equal to the amount of glucose excreted into the urine over defined time intervals.
From Days -1 to 1, and from Days 14 to 15
Renal threshold for glucose excretion following multiple oral doses of canagliflozin
Time Frame: From Days -1 to 1, and from Days 14 to 15
Renal threshold is defined as the plasma glucose concentration above which glucose is excreted in the urine.
From Days -1 to 1, and from Days 14 to 15
Acceptability of the canagliflozin tablet
Time Frame: Day 14
A questionnaire containing 5 questions about the acceptability of the tablet (taste, smell, swallowability, residual mouth taste, and overall feeling) will be administered to the participants at the end of the treatment phase. Each question is rated using a 5 or 6-point scale. The scales comprise the following outcomes: very negative, negative, neutral, positive, and very positive. Results will be summarized descriptively.
Day 14
Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability
Time Frame: Approximately 50 days
Approximately 50 days
