Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

A 12-week treatment with cofrogliptin provided significant glucose-lowering, and was safe, well tolerated.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Mean change from baseline in glucose total AUC0-3 h during MTT

10 mg

−1.75

mean · mmol h/L

25 mg

−1.54

mean · mmol h/L

Placebo

0.36

mean · mmol h/L

10 mg vs Placebo: P = 0.01 · 25 mg vs Placebo: P = 0.02

Secondary outcomes

Change from baseline in Cmax of glucose during meal tolerance test (MTT) 0-3 h · week 12

Significant benefit with cofrogliptin vs placebo

Change from baseline in glucose total AUC0-3 h and Cmax of glucose during OGTT 0-3 h · week 10

Significant benefit with cofrogliptin vs placebo

Normoglycaemia · week 10

More cofrogliptin-treated patients achieved normoglycaemia vs placebo

Safety

Adverse events

Serious AEs or severe hypoglycaemia
0
Incidence of AEs generally comparable in all groups; all AEs mild or moderate
