Frequently asked questions about taspoglutide

What is taspoglutide used for?

Taspoglutide was developed for the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. It was studied in adults whose blood glucose was inadequately controlled, including patients on metformin monotherapy and patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. All of its clinical trials have been completed.

What does taspoglutide target?

Taspoglutide targets GLP1R, the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, and acts as an agonist at that receptor. GLP1R agonism is the mechanism explored in its clinical program for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. Taspoglutide is described as a small molecule.

Who makes taspoglutide?

Taspoglutide was developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. Roche sponsored the clinical trial program evaluating the compound in type 2 diabetes, including the Phase 3 studies and an earlier Phase 1 study.

What phase is taspoglutide in?

Taspoglutide reached Phase 3 development for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. It is an investigational agent and is not approved. Its registered trials are all completed, with no active studies, and the program includes 12 completed trials enrolling a total of 7,322 participants.

What clinical trials is taspoglutide in?

Completed taspoglutide trials include NCT01018173, a Phase 3 study in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease that enrolled 2,118 participants, and NCT00909597, a Phase 3 study comparing taspoglutide with pioglitazone in 756 patients. NCT00823992 tested it versus placebo in obese patients with type 2 diabetes on metformin.
