Phase 3 Alogliptin Pediatric Study

Completed · Phase 3 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

In brief

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of alogliptin 25 milligram (mg) once daily compared to placebo when administered as monotherapy, or when added onto a background of metformin alone, insulin alone, or a combination of metformin and insulin, as measured by the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from Baseline at Week 26 in pediatric participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Additional Criteria That Must be Met Prior to Randomization:
For participants who have had the diagnosis of T2DM for less than 1 year and/or who are taking insulin at Screening, additional criteria will need to be met prior to randomization:
Must have an HbA1c level of >=6.5% to <11.0% if the participant is treatment naïve or on metformin alone or >=7.0% to <11.0% if the participant is on insulin alone or in combination with metformin.
The participant must not have received any investigational compound within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to randomization.
Must not have received an antidiabetic agent other than metformin or insulin within the 12 weeks prior to randomization.
Must not have received oral or parenteral steroids for more than 3 weeks (cumulatively) within the 6 months prior to randomization or have received a course of oral or parenteral steroids within the 2 months prior to randomization.
Has a systolic blood pressure <160 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) and a diastolic pressure <100 mm Hg. (Antihypertensive medications will be allowed during the study).
Has an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level <3*upper limit of normal (ULN) or an ALT level <5 *ULN with a confirmed diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).7. Does not plan to leave the geographic area within 1 calendar year following randomization.
For participants who have had the diagnosis of T2DM for less than 1 year and/or who are taking insulin prior to randomization, the following criteria must also be met:
Must have a fasting C-peptide concentration>=0.6 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) (>=0.20 nanomole per liter [nmol/L]) (drawn at least 1 week after treatment for ketosis or acidosis, if applicable).
No presence of autoantibodies as documented by glutamic acid decarboxylase [GAD] 65 and islet antigen [IA]-2 antibodies below the upper limit of the normal reference ranges at randomization.
