Sumitomo Pharma and Poxel Announce Topline Results from Post-Marketing Clinical Study on TWYMEEG for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Japan Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. and POXEL SA announced topline results obtained from a post-marketing clinical study, TWINKLE (TWYMEEG in diabetic patients with renal impairment: A post-marketing long-term study) (“the Study”), in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment for TWYMEEG Tablets 500 mg (generic name: imeglimin hydrochloride, “the Drug”) being sold in Japan, based on the Risk Management Plan. The Study was an open-label, uncontrolled, long-term study in 60 Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment, who had no experience of type 2 diabetes treatment other than diet and exercise therapy or insufficient glycemic management in monotherapy with a hypoglycemic agent excluding insulin formulation. The Drugwas administered at 500 mg twice-daily to patients with moderate and severe renal impairment, characterized by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or higher to less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, or at 500 mg once-daily to patients with end-stage renal disease, characterized by an eGFR less than 15 mL/min/1.73m2, in monotherapy or in combination therapy with a hypoglycemic agent excluding insulin formulation, to evaluate safety and tolerability when administered orally for 52 weeks. The Drug was observed to be safe and well tolerated in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with renal impairment and no significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse events, their types and severities in this study from previous clinical studies. Specifically, most of the adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. The incidence of serious adverse events was 16.7% (10 of 60 subjects) and causality with the Drug could be ruled out in all cases. Incidence of adverse events leading to study treatment discontinuation was also limited (4 of 60 subjects). At present, administration of the Drug is not recommended for patients with renal impairment with eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2. Based on the results of the Study, Sumitomo Pharma is planning to conduct discussions with the regulatory authorities in Japan, on revising the package insert in fiscal 20241 for patients with renal impairment with eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2.
