Abstract

Background TRC150094, a novel mitochondrial modulator, reduces insulin resistance and is expected to improve the trinity of dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. In this multi-dose phase-2 study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of TRC150094 in diabetic subjects with dyslipidemia receiving standard of care. Methods A randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, Phase 2 study was conducted in 225 subjects from July 2013 to August 2015. The key inclusion criteria were body mass index of 23–35 kg/m2, age between 30 and 65 years, fasting glucose of ≥126 or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of ≥6.4% stabilized on treatment with ≤2 oral hypoglycemic agents, apolipoprotein-B (apo-B) ≥100 mg/dL, serum triglyceride (TG) ≥150 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥130 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥85 mmHg with/without antihypertensive treatment. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of three TRC150094 doses (25, 50, or 75 mg) or placebo for 24 weeks. The outcomes assessed included fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), and apoB. In addition, safety and tolerability were assessed. Results A reduction for dose up to 50 mg was noted for FPG in the range of 13.9 to 21.7 mg/dL (p < 0.05 for TRC150094 25 and 50 mg), fasting insulin reduction in the range 2.7 to 6.0 mU/L (all doses, p > 0.05), and improved HOMA-IR (−2.0 to −2.5) (all doses, p > 0.05) compared to placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. Furthermore, a significant reduction in MAP in the range 3.1 to 4.2 mmHg (p < 0.05 for TRC150094 25 and 75 mg) was noted. In addition, TRC150094 treatment was weight neutral, had a favorable effect on lowering atherogenic lipid fractions, including non-HDL cholesterol (−6.8 mg/dL at 50 mg dose). Adverse events were mild to moderate in nature and not dose-related. One adverse event not related to treatment led to the discontinuation of the study. Overall, TRC150094 was safe and well tolerated for up to 24 weeks. Conclusion In this study, TRC150094 treatment in the dose range of 25 to 50 mg showed improvement in various components of CMBCD, ie, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.
