Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
Baseline and Week 24

The change in the value of glycosylated hemoglobin (the concentration of glucose bound to hemoglobin as a percent of the absolute maximum that can be bound) collected at Week 24 relative to Baseline. A mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, country, visit and visit by treatment interaction as fixed factors and with Baseline value and Baseline value by visit interaction as covariates with an unstructured covariance structure was used for analysis.

Secondary Endpoints

Incidence of HbA1c <7%
Week 24
Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose
Baseline and Week 24
Change From Baseline in 2-hour Postprandial Glucose (PPG) Following a Meal Tolerance Test (MTT)

Fasiglifam was developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was studied as an oral small molecule therapy intended to improve glycemic control in adults with the condition. The clinical program included a Phase 3 trial in participants with type 2 diabetes.

What does Fasiglifam target?

Fasiglifam targets FFAR1, also known as free fatty acid receptor 1. It acts as a positive allosteric modulator of this receptor. This mechanism was designed to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Who is developing Fasiglifam?

Fasiglifam was developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda sponsored the clinical trial program for the drug in type 2 diabetes.

What phase is Fasiglifam in?

Fasiglifam reached Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 trial has been completed.

What clinical trials is Fasiglifam in?

Fasiglifam was studied in one Phase 3 clinical trial, NCT01456195, titled Comparison of TAK-875 (Fasiglifam) With Placebo in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes. The trial was completed and enrolled 421 participants across the United States, Argentina, Bulgaria, Guatemala, Hungary, Mexico, Slovakia, and Ukraine.

Is Fasiglifam the same as TAK-875?

Yes, Fasiglifam is also known as TAK-875. Both names refer to the same investigational drug developed by Takeda for type 2 diabetes.
