Pharmacokinetics of Single-dose Ertugliflozin in Patients With Hepatic Impairment.

Purpose: Ertugliflozin, an oral, highly selective inhibitor of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, is approved in the United States and the European Union for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hepatic impairment may affect, to varying degrees, the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of drugs and may be associated with a lower plasma protein binding compared with that in healthy individuals. This study was conducted to assess the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetic (PK), safety, and tolerability profiles of ertugliflozin after administration of a single, 15-mg oral dose.

Assessment of the Drug Interaction Potential of Ertugliflozin With Sitagliptin, Metformin, Glimepiride, or Simvastatin in Healthy Subjects.

Ertugliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, is expected to be coadministered with sitagliptin, metformin, glimepiride, and/or simvastatin. Four separate open-label, randomized, single-dose, crossover studies were conducted in healthy adults to assess the potential pharmacokinetic interactions between ertugliflozin 15 mg and sitagliptin 100 mg (n = 12), metformin 1000 mg (n = 18), glimepiride 1 mg (n = 18), or simvastatin 40 mg (n = 18). Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic parameters derived from plasma concentration-time data were analyzed using mixed-effects models to assess interactions.

Novel Application of the Two-Period Microtracer Approach to Determine Absolute Oral Bioavailability and Fraction Absorbed of Ertugliflozin.

Ertugliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, is approved in the United States for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A novel two-period study design with C microtracer dosing in each period was used to determine absolute oral bioavailability (F) and fraction absorbed (F ) of ertugliflozin. Eight healthy adult men received 100-μg i.

A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo- and Active-Controlled Crossover Study to Determine the Effect of Single-Dose Ertugliflozin on QTc Interval in Healthy Volunteers.

Ertugliflozin, a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, is being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This randomized, 6-sequence, 3-period crossover study assessed the effect of ertugliflozin (100 mg; supratherapeutic dose) vs placebo and moxifloxacin (400 mg; positive control) on the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) in 42 male or female healthy subjects. Triplicate electrocardiograms were performed predose and serially over 48 hours postdose in each treatment period.

Effect of ertugliflozin on glucose control, body weight, blood pressure and bone density in type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy (VERTIS MET).

Aim: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled (HbA1c, 7.0%-10.5%) with metformin monotherapy (≥1500 mg/d for ≥8 weeks).

Phase III, efficacy and safety study of ertugliflozin monotherapy in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone.

Aims: To conduct a phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ertugliflozin monotherapy in people with type 2 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: This was a 52-week, double-blind, multicentre, randomized, parallel-group study with a 26-week, placebo-controlled treatment period (phase A), followed by a 26-week active-controlled treatment period (phase B) in 461 men and women, aged ≥18 years with inadequate glycaemic control (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] concentration 7.0% to 10.
