Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Type 2 diabetes is among the most common chronic condition in adults 65 years of age or older. A recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported that more than 20% of adults aged 65 years or older have diabetes. These individuals are often under-treated with respect to glucose-lowering medications, and their care is complicated by the extent of their clinical and functional status. Age-related changes in physiology, diabetes-associated illnesses and other illnesses (such as renal, cardiac, and hepatic insufficiency), as well as use of multiple medications make standard oral anti-hyperglycemic therapy and insulin use problematic. In addition, hypoglycemia is more common and severe in older rather than younger patients taking oral antidiabetic drugs which can precipitate serious events such as falls and hip fractures. While avoidance of hypoglycemia is paramount in elderly diabetic patients, many commonly used medications are associated with a substantial risk for hypoglycemia. New classes of drug which avoid such complications in the elderly population are of increasing interest as this population continues to expand. Takeda is developing SYR-322 (alogliptin) for the improvement of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. SYR-322 is an inhibitor of the dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV is thought to be primarily responsible for the degradation of 2 peptide hormones released in response to nutrient ingestion. It is expected that inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV will improve glycemic (glucose) control in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study will compare the effectiveness and safety of SYR-322 with that of glipizide (a commonly used diabetes medication) in adults who are 65 to 90 years of age with Type 2 diabetes. Individuals who participate in this study will either have failed diet and exercise therapy alone during the 2 months before Screening, or will have been receiving a single oral antidiabetic medication without obtaining good blood glucose (sugar) control. Each participant will be required to commit to screening visits. Study participation is anticipated to be up to 59 weeks. The total target number to be randomized in India would be 40. The total target number randomized in India is 35. <
