Clinical trial NCT01258075
Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus Blood glucose Anti-diabetic Bile acid sequestrant Colesevelam HCl Oral suspension Pediatric Add-on therapy Add-on to metformin Metformin Adolescent Lipid
Sponsor: Daiichi Sankyo
Start date: 2011-02-24; Completion date: 2020-04-21
Enrollment: 236 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug in treating type 2 diabetes in children 10 to 17 years old.

The groups will be low-dose (0.625 g Welchol) and high-dose (3.75 g Welchol). The children will have a 2 in 5 chance of being assigned to the low-dose group. They will have a 3 in 5 chance of being assigned to the high-dose group.

We believe the study drug will be safe, well tolerated, and improve blood sugar control in children 10 to 17 years old.

Detailed description:
Colesevelam oral suspension will be studied as treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to evaluate clinical safety and efficacy in patients aged 10-17 years. The patients may have been treated with Metformin or have had no antidiabetic drug treatment in the previous three months.

Study Hypothesis: Colesevelam oral suspension for pediatric subjects with T2DM is safe, well tolerated, and shows improved blood sugar control (as evidenced by a significant change from baseline in hemoglobin A1C \[HbA1c\]).

Arms: arm 1: High-dose colesevelam suspended in a drink for oral administration once daily with dinner arm 2: Low-dose colesevelam suspended in a drink for oral administration once daily with dinner
Interventions: intervention 1: High-dose colesevelam intervention 2: Low-dose colesevelam
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 3.75 grams colesevelam hydrochloride in oral suspension intervention 2: 0.625 grams colesevelam hydrochloride in oral suspension
