Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aims: Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that is being investigated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 28-day study conducted at 2 sites, in 29 subjects with T2DM not optimally controlled on insulin and up to 1 oral antihyperglycemic agent. Subjects were treated with canagliflozin 100 mg QD or 300 mg BID or placebo. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics and pharmacodynamic effects of canagliflozin were examined. Glucose malabsorption following a 75-g oral glucose challenge was also examined. Results: Canagliflozin pharmacokinetics were dose-dependent, and the elimination half-life ranged from 12-15 hours. After 28 days, the renal threshold for glucose excretion was reduced; urinary glucose excretion was increased; and A1C, fasting plasma glucose, and body weight decreased in subjects administered canagliflozin (A1C reductions: 0.19% with placebo, 0.73% with 100 mg QD, 0.92% with 300 mg BID; body weight changes: 0.03 kg increase with placebo, 0.73 kg reduction with 100 mg QD, 1.19 kg reduction with 300 mg BID). Glucose malabsorption was not observed with canagliflozin treatment. There were no deaths, serious adverse events, or severe hypoglycemic episodes. The incidence of adverse events was similar across groups. There were no clinically meaningful changes in routine laboratory safety tests, vital signs, or electrocardiograms. Conclusion: In subjects receiving insulin and oral antihyperglycemic therapy, canagliflozin was well tolerated without evidence for glucose malabsorption, had pharmacokinetic characteristics consistent with once-daily dosing, and improved glycemic control.
