TAK-648 Multiple-Rising Dose Study in Healthy Japanese Participants and Non-Japanese Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-center, multiple-dose study in healthy participants and participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of TAK-648 when administered as multiple oral doses of TAK-648 solution at escalating dose levels in healthy participants of Japanese decent and participants with T2DM.
