Bexagliflozin Drug/Drug Interaction Study With Exenatide Injection

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Type2 Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine the drug-drug interaction when given the study drug, bexagliflozin, with one of the most commonly prescribed glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) exenatide. The study will also evaluate how safe the study drug is and how well the study drug is tolerated when administered with exenatide injection.

• Subjects with adequate venous access at multiple sites in both arms.
• Subjects who were willing and able to be confined to the clinical research facility as required by the protocol.
• Subjects who had the ability to comprehend and who were willing to provide written informed consent in accordance with institutional and regulatory guidelines.

You may not qualify if…

• Subjects who were determined by the investigator or sub-investigator to be unsuitable for participation in the study based on medical conditions or factors that would have influenced adherence to study activities.
• Subjects with a clinically significant history of allergy to drugs or latex.
• Subjects with a history of hypoglycemia.
• Subjects with a history of alcohol or drug dependence in the last 12 months.
• Subjects who donated 400 mL of whole blood within 56 days, 200 mL of whole blood within one month, or donated blood components within 14 days of screening.
• Subjects who used prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs within 14 days prior to the first dose.
• Subjects who used vitamin preparations or supplements (including St. John's Wort and ginseng) within 14 days prior to the first dose .
• Subjects who were not willing to refrain from smoking, alcohol, grapefruit, grapefruit juice or related products, caffeine consumption (including chocolate), and strenuous exercise within 72 h prior to Day 1 and through the end of the PK study.
• Male subjects who did not agree to refrain from donating sperm and use appropriate birth control methods including condoms with spermicide, female partner's use of diaphragm with spermicide, or stable oral, implanted, or injected contraceptive hormones, or with an intrauterine device, or female partner is surgically sterile (i.e. have undergone partial or full hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or postmenopausal (absence of menses greater than 12 months and age >45 years), for a period of 30 days after discharge from the clinic.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential who were not willing to use an adequate method of contraception including bilateral tubal ligation, intrauterine device, diaphragm with spermicide and male partner's use of male condom with spermicide, and to not become pregnant for the duration of the study. Female subjects who were surgically sterile (partial or full hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or postmenopausal (absence of menses greater than 12 months and age >45 years) were eligible if they tested negative on the pregnancy test.
• Subjects who had been treated with an investigational drug within 30 days or 7 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug in this trial.
• Subjects who had previously received exenatide, or any other GLP-1 RAs within three months from the screening or subjects who had had any GLP-1 RA and suffered an adverse reaction due to the medication.
• Subjects who had previously received bexagliflozin, or any other SGLT2 inhibitors within 3 months from the screening.
• Subjects whose screening ECG demonstrates any one of the following: heart rate >100 bpm, QRS >120 msec, QTc >470 msec (corrected by Fridericia's formula), PR >220 msec (a subject with PR >220 msec was generally to be excluded but exceptions may have been allowed at the discretion of the investigator), or any clinically significant arrhythmia.
• Subjects whose sitting blood pressure was above 140/90 mmHg at screening. If the sitting blood pressure at screening was above 140/90 mmHg, one repeat measurement was allowed and the subject may have been randomized if the blood pressure was 140/90 +/-5 mm Hg at the discretion of the Investigator.
• Subjects who had a positive result of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, urinary drug or urinary cotinine test.
• Subjects with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
• Subjects who had had a febrile illness within 5 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Subjects vaccinated within 30 days (with the exception of the flu vaccine) prior to the first dose of investigational drug.
• Subjects with a history of acute or chronic pancreatitis or gall stones.
• Positive urine glucose at screening.
• Subjects with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or a history of kidney transplant.
• Subjects with digestion problems, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroparesis, and any other disorder deemed by the investigator to be clinically significant.
