Background: This post-marketing surveillance examined the safety and efficacy of long-term teneligliptin therapy in Japanese patients.
Research Design And Methods: We report interim results (cut-off date: 28 June 2017) of a 3-year PMS undertaken in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Survey items included demographics, treatments, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and laboratory variables.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of canagliflozin in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in clinical settings.
Methods: The authors conducted a 1-year post-marketing surveillance (PMS) of canagliflozin in almost all the elderly patients (≥65 years old) with T2DM who began taking canagliflozin during the first 3 months after its launch in Japan. The main outcomes included the incidences of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), serious ADRs, and the changes of laboratory tests as well as efficacy variables.
