Frequently asked questions about aleglitazar

What is aleglitazar used for?

Aleglitazar is an investigational small molecule being developed for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been studied in healthy volunteers for drug interaction and pharmacokinetic trials. The drug is in Phase 3 clinical development, though all listed trials have been completed.

Who makes aleglitazar?

Aleglitazar is being developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. The company has conducted clinical trials of the drug across multiple countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, China, and others.

What phase is aleglitazar in?

Aleglitazar is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, not approved by regulatory authorities. All ten clinical trials listed for the drug have been completed, with no active trials currently ongoing.

What clinical trials has aleglitazar been in?

Aleglitazar has been studied in ten clinical trials with a total enrollment of 8,271 participants. Examples include NCT01188304, a Phase 1 study of aleglitazar with aspirin in healthy volunteers in the United States, and NCT01615354, a Phase 1 study with oral contraceptives in healthy female volunteers in the United Kingdom.

Is aleglitazar a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled drug?

Yes, aleglitazar has been studied in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. The control type used in these trials was placebo, and the studies were designed to be double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers knew who received the active drug.
