Frequently asked questions about vildagliptin

What is vildagliptin used for?

Vildagliptin is used to treat type 2 diabetes and has also been studied in prediabetes, renal impairment, and healthy volunteers. It is a small molecule DPP4 inhibitor developed by Novartis AG (NVS). The clinical program includes 62 completed trials with a total enrollment of 27,375 participants across these metabolic indications.

What does vildagliptin target?

Vildagliptin targets DPP4, also known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4. It is a DPP4 inhibitor, a small molecule that acts on this enzyme. By inhibiting DPP4, vildagliptin belongs to the incretin-based class of glucose-lowering agents used in type 2 diabetes. The target is recorded under ChEMBL identifier CHEMBL142703.

Who makes vildagliptin?

Vildagliptin is developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor behind the clinical program, which includes 62 completed trials enrolling a total of 27,375 participants. The drug is a small molecule DPP4 inhibitor studied mainly in type 2 diabetes and related metabolic conditions.

What phase is vildagliptin in?

Vildagliptin is in Phase 2 development according to its current program status. Its clinical record includes 62 completed trials and no active trials, with a total enrollment of 27,375 participants. The studies span Phase 2 and Phase 3 and cover type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, renal impairment, and healthy volunteer populations.

What clinical trials is vildagliptin in?

Vildagliptin has completed 62 trials, including NCT01871558, a Phase 3 study of vildagliptin plus metformin in type 2 diabetes patients starting basal insulin in France. NCT01582230 tested vildagliptin 50 mg twice daily added to insulin with or without metformin across China, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. NCT01497522 and NCT01452113 are additional completed studies.
