Background Few studies have assessed the use of new oral anti-diabetic agents in Asian populations. This study assesses the efficacy and safety of saxagliptin versus placebo in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Materials and Methods Five hundred sixty-eight drug-naive adult patients with T2DM and glycated haemoglobin levels (HbA(1c)) of 7.0-10.0% (53-86 mmol/mol) were randomized 1 : 1 to receive saxagliptin 5 mg daily or placebo. Efficacy endpoints included changes from baseline to week 24 in HbA(1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), post-prandial glucose area under the curve from 0 to 180 min (PPG AUC(0-180)), and the proportion of patients achieving HbA(1c) = 1 AE (excluding hypoglycaemia) was 43.3% for saxagliptin and 35.6% for placebo. Few patients in either treatment group experienced an SAE (2.8%, saxagliptin; 1.4%, placebo). A low proportion of patients reported hypoglycaemic events (1.8%, saxagliptin; 0.7%, placebo).Conclusions Saxagliptin improved glycaemic control and was well tolerated in drug-naive Asian patients with T2DM.
