Abstract
AimsTo investigate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and safety of the glucokinase activator AZD6370 after 1day of administration under fed and fasted conditions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsThis was a two-part study. In Part A, patients received a single oral dose of AZD6370 (20, 60 or 180mg) or placebo in the fasted or fed states (both n=8). In Part B, patients (n=8) received placebo and a total dose of AZD6370 180mg given in one, two or four divided doses. Plasma glucose, insulin and C-peptide changes versus placebo were assessed. ResultsAZD6370 provided dose-dependent reductions in plasma glucose of up to 30% versus placebo in both fasted and fed patients (p<0.001 at 60 and 180mg doses). Insulin secretion increased with dose, but absolute increases were relatively small in the fasted versus fed state (0–4h). Dosing AZD6370 twice or four-times over 1day gave a smoother 24-h glucose profile than single-dose. AZD6370 was rapidly absorbed. Pharmacokinetics of AZD6370 were dose-independent and unaffected by food. AZD6370 was generally well tolerated. ConclusionsAZD6370 produced dose-dependent glucose reductions and increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in patients with T2DM.
