Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of alogliptin after a single or multiple administrations, once daily (QD), of oral alogliptin in healthy Korean subjects.

Read the detailed description

Alogliptin is a selective, orally available inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 being developed by Takeda Global Research \& Development Center, Inc. as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) prolongs the action of 2 important incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). These hormones are responsible for increasing insulin synthesis, regulating β-cell proliferation, inhibiting gastric emptying and inhibiting glucagon secretion.

Evaluations of alogliptin and its clinical efficacy have been conducted in multiple countries including the United States and Japan. As development of alogliptin expands to other countries, additional studies are needed to bridge between the data previously acquired.

The main objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of alogliptin in healthy Korean participants.

  3. The participant is a healthy adult male or female participant of Korean descent.
  4. The participant is aged 18 to 55 years, inclusive, at the time of informed consent and first study medication dose.
  5. The participant has a body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 26.0 kg/m2, inclusive at Screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The participant has received any investigational compound within 30 days prior to Screening.

Participant has current or recent (within 6 months) gastrointestinal disease that would be expected to influence the absorption of drugs (i.e., a history of malabsorption, esophageal reflux, peptic ulcer disease, erosive esophagitis frequent [more than once per week] occurrence of heartburn, or any surgical intervention [e.g., cholecystectomy]).
  13. Participant has a history of cancer, except basal cell carcinoma which has been in remission for at least 5 years prior to Day 1.

  15. Participant has used nicotine-containing products (including but not limited to cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco, nicotine patch or nicotine gum) within 28 days prior to Check-in Day -1. Cotinine test is positive at Screening or Check-in (Day -1).
  16. The participant has poor peripheral venous access.
  17. Participant has donated or lost 450 mL or more of his or her blood volume (including plasmapheresis), or had a transfusion of any blood product within 30 days prior to Day 1.
  18. Participant has a Screening or Check-in (Day -1) abnormal (clinically significant) electrocardiogram (ECG). Entry of any participant with an abnormal (not clinically significant) ECG must be approved, and documented by signature by the principal investigator.
  19. Participant has abnormal Screening or Day -1 laboratory values that suggest a clinically significant underlying disease or participant with the following lab abnormalities: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2x the upper limits of normal.
  20. Participant has a hemoglobin value \<12 g/dL at Screening only.
  21. Participant has a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or has a diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg at Screening or Check-in (Day -1).
