About this study

Official title: Metact® Combination Tablets Special Drug Use Surveillance Survey on Long-term Use for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term use of pioglitazone/metformin hydrochloride combination tablets in the routine clinical setting in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for whom therapy with pioglitazone hydrochloride combined with metformin hydrochloride is considered suitable.

Read the detailed description

This is a special drug use surveillance (survey on long-term use) designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term use of pioglitazone/metformin hydrochloride combination tablets (Metact Combination Tablets) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the routine clinical setting.

The following items will also be studied:

  1. The effects on safety and efficacy caused by changing the administration method of metformin hydrochloride associated with switching to Metact Combination Tablets
  2. The effects on compliance associated with switching to Metact Combination Tablets
  3. Safety and efficacy in patients who showed inadequate response to pioglitazone hydrochloride and were then switched to Metact Combination Tablets

The planned sample size was 1000 participants. The usual adult dosage is one tablet of Metact administered orally once daily after breakfast (15 mg/500 mg or 30 mg/500 mg of pioglitazone/metformin hydrochloride).

<Precautions Related to Dosage and Administration> Edema due to pioglitazone administration has been reported with comparative frequency in women. Therefore, it is preferable to be vigilant for edema and start Metact Combination Tablets at a dosage equivalent to 15 mg of pioglitazone once daily when administering the study drug to women.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions

    Adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product reported from the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug. Among these, events which are considered possibly associated with a medicinal product are defined as adverse drug reactions.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Tabulation of the HbA1c test value and change at each test time point (test value at each test time point after baseline - test value at baseline). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. n=number of participants analyzed at each time point. Final assessment is defined as a cumulative assessment of Month 12 and Early Termination Visit data.

    Measured: Baseline and Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment

  2. Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose

    Tabulation of fasting blood glucose test values and change at each test time point (test value at each test time point after baseline - test value at baseline). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. n=number of participants analyzed at each time point. Final assessment is defined as a cumulative assessment of Month 12 and Early Termination Visit data.

    Measured: Baseline and Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Insulin

    Tabulation of fasting insulin test values and change at each test time point (test value at each test time point after baseline - test value at baseline). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. n=number of participants analyzed at each time point. Final assessment is defined as a cumulative assessment of Month 12 and Early Termination Visit data.

    Measured: Baseline and Months 3, 6, 9, 12 and final assessment
