About this study

Official title: Long-term Study of ASP1941 - Long-term Study in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Decreased Renal Function (Japanese)

This study is to assess the effect of renal function on the efficacy and safety of ASP1941 in type 2 diabetic patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and mild to moderate renal impairment who have inadequate glycemic control on an exercise program and stable diet, or one oral hypoglycemic agent.

The severity of the reduction in renal function in each subject will be classified according to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimated using the Japanese GFR estimation equation. Subjects will start with a screening period, followed by a single-blind placebo run-in period, and will be randomized to the ASP1941 groups or the placebo group at a ratio of 2:1. For randomization, subjects will be stratified according to the severity of the reduction in renal function. In a treatment period, subject will receive study drug or placebo for 24 weeks under double-blind conditions.

At 24 week, subjects who are willing to continue participation in the study will receive study drug for another 28 weeks in an open label condition. ASP1941 can be increased. After completion of the study drug administration, a follow-up period will be provided.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. changes in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. changes in fasting plasma glucose

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks

  2. changes in fasting serum insulin level

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks

  3. changes in eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate)

    Measured: baseline and 52 weeks

  4. safety assessed by the incidence of adverse events, vital signs, laboratory tests and 12-lead ECGs

    Measured: for 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ASP1941 in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 8 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (time frame: baseline and 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01316094, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2025.
