About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, 2-Way Crossover Study to Compare the Pharmacodynamics of Canagliflozin 300 mg Versus Dapagliflozin 10 mg in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacodynamics (ie, how the drug affects the body) of canagliflozin with the pharmacodynamics of dapagliflozin.

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted as a 2-part study. Part 1 is an open-label pilot study (the investigator and the participants know the identity of the assigned treatment) in which 6 healthy volunteers will be given 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 consecutive days. The total study duration for each volunteer in Part 1 will be approximately 35 days (including a screening phase, an open-label treatment phase, and a follow-up phase). Part 2 will be a double-blind (neither the investigator nor volunteers know the identity of the assigned treatment), randomized (the treatment is assigned by chance), 2-period crossover study (all volunteers will receive each of the 2 treatments but in a different order) with a two-stage sequential group design.

Approximately 34 healthy volunteers will be participating in the first stage. After all the participants of the first stage will complete Part 2, and the results are analyzed, based on the first stage outcomes the study will be either terminated or will proceed to the second stage, which will be conducted using the same study method as in the first stage.

Potentially, up to 30 volunteers will participate in the second stage. A total number of participants in Part 2 will be up to 64.

Volunteers assigned to Treatment Sequence 1 will receive 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily for 4 consecutive days (Period 1), and after a 12- to 14-day washout period (with no medication), 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 days (Period 2). Volunteers assigned to Treatment Sequence 2 will receive 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 days (Period 1), and after a 12- to 14-day washout period, 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily for 4 consecutive days (Period 2). The total study duration for each volunteer in Part 2 will be up to approximately 65 days (including a screening phase, a baseline phase, a double-blind treatment phase, a washout period, and a follow-up phase).

Volunteers can participate in Part 1 or Part 2 of the study, but not in both parts. Canagliflozin and dapagliflozin are used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CanagliflozinDrug

    Also called Invokana

    One 300 mg over-encapsulated tablet taken orally (by mouth) once daily for 4 days during Part 1 and Part 2 (Sequence 1 [treatment period 2] or Sequence 2 [treatment period 1]).

  • DapagliflozinDrug

    Also called Forxiga

    One 10 mg over-encapsulated tablet taken orally once daily for 4 days during Part 2 (Sequence 1 [treatment period 1] or Sequence 2 [treatment period 2]).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1: CanaExperimentalEach volunteer will receive 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 days.
Receives: Drug: Canagliflozin
Part 2: Sequence 1 (Dapa/Cana)ExperimentalEach volunteer will receive 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily for 4 days (treatment period 1) followed by 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 days (treatment period 2). Each treatment period will be separated by a 12- to 14-day washout period (with no medication).
Receives: Drug: Canagliflozin; Drug: Dapagliflozin
Part 2: Sequence 2 (Cana/Dapa)ExperimentalEach volunteer will receive 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 days (treatment period 1) followed by 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily for 4 days (treatment period 2). Each treatment period will be separated by a 12- to 14-day washout period.
Receives: Drug: Canagliflozin; Drug: Dapagliflozin

What is being measured

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

  1. Between treatment difference in 24-hour mean renal threshold for glucose for canagliflozin (300 mg once daily for 4 days) compared to dapagliflozin (10 mg once daily for 4 days)

    Renal threshold is defined as the plasma glucose concentration above which glucose is excreted in the urine.

    Measured: Day 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percent change from baseline in postprandial glucose area under the curve at 0-2 hours post-dose on Day 4 following 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily for 4 days or 10 mg of dapagliflozin once daily for 4 days

    Area under the concentration time curve (or area under the curve) is a measure of the body's exposure to glucose over a specific time period.

    Measured: Day -10 (Baseline) and Day 4

  2. Number of volunteers with adverse events

    Adverse events will be used as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: Up to Day 65

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Canagliflozin and Dapagliflozin in people with Healthy, run by Janssen-Cilag International NV at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 26 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Between treatment difference in 24-hour mean renal threshold for glucose for canagliflozin (300 mg once daily for 4 days) compared to dapagliflozin (10 mg once daily for 4 days) (time frame: Day 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Mar 2014.
