Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus | Drug: metformin Drug: ipragliflozin Drug: glimepiride | Phase 4 |
This is a multicenter study that will compare ipragliflozin/metformin with glimepiride/metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with albuminuria.
The study will include screening and 24-week treatment period. Subjects entering the study have been on a stable dose of at least 1000 mg/day metformin monotherapy for at least 8 weeks (56 days) prior to Visit 1. For randomization, subject will be stratified by the site and the administration of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (angiotensin receptor blockers and/or angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors) at Visit 2. Subjects will be centrally randomized to either ipragliflozin/metformin group or glimepiride/metformin group and receive 24-week treatment by each group

- The percentage of change of Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Early morning urinary sample will be collected for the test
- The percentage of patients whose UACR level is normalized or improved more than 50% [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Early morning urinary sample will be collected for the test
- Change from baseline in Estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Test parameter e-GFR shall be measured at the local laboratory
- Change from baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Test parameter HbA1c shall be measured at the local laboratory
- Change from baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Test parameter FPG shall be measured at the local laboratory
- Change from baseline in body weight [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Body Weight shall be measured by the same scale for the clinical trial period
- Change from baseline in blood pressure [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Blood pressure will be measured two times with 1-2 minutes interval by the same arm and procedure during the study
- Change from baseline in Uric Acid [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Test parameter Uric Acid shall be measured at the local laboratory
- Change from baseline in health status as measured through EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level Health State Utility Index (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]The EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire consists of 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression
- Change from baseline in health status as measured through EuroQol-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ VAS) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]The EQ VAS measures the score (0 to 100) of change from baseline to 24 weeks
- Change from baseline in Quality of Life as measured through Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life-19 (ADDQoL-19) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 24 weeks ]Quality of Life will be assessed through ADDQoL-19. Patients will be asked to complete the questionnaires at visit 2 and 5
