A phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of danuglipron (PF-06882961), an oral small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of danuglipron (PF-06882961), which is a novel, oral small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in Japanese participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials and methods

This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study enrolled adult Japanese participants with T2DM inadequately controlled on diet and exercise. Participants received twice-daily oral doses of placebo or multiple ascending doses of danuglipron titrated to 40, 80 or 120 mg twice daily over 8 weeks. The primary outcome was the safety and tolerability of danuglipron. Secondary and exploratory outcomes included plasma pharmacokinetics, glycaemic parameters and body we
