Frequently asked questions about Saxagliptin/Metformin

What is Saxagliptin used for?

Saxagliptin is used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). It is being studied in patients with Type 2 Diabetes who are not controlled with diet and exercise, as an add-on to metformin, and in triple therapy regimens. It is an investigational small molecule in Phase 3 clinical development.

How does Saxagliptin work?

Saxagliptin is a small molecule that targets DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), an enzyme that degrades incretin hormones. By inhibiting DPP-4, Saxagliptin increases levels of active incretins, which help regulate blood glucose by enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon release, thereby improving glycemic control in Type 2 Diabetes.

Who makes Saxagliptin?

Saxagliptin is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AZN. AstraZeneca is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Saxagliptin in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

What phase is Saxagliptin in?

Saxagliptin is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trials are evaluating its use in Type 2 Diabetes, including as monotherapy, add-on to metformin, and in triple therapy combinations.

What clinical trials is Saxagliptin in?

Saxagliptin has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT00374907 (a Phase 3 study in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes not controlled with diet and exercise), NCT00666458 (a Phase 3 add-on to metformin comparison with sitagliptin), and NCT01619059 (a Phase 3 triple therapy study). All trials are completed.

Is Saxagliptin the same as Onglyza?

Saxagliptin is also known as Onglyza. It is a DPP-4 inhibitor being developed by AstraZeneca for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials and is not yet approved.
