Ipx-461

IPX-461 was granted Fast Track designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2009. However, in 2016, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter to the New Drug Application (NDA) for IPX-461, citing concerns regarding the drug's efficacy and safety. The FDA also requested additional clinical trials to further evaluate the benefits and risks of IPX-461.

The pharmacokinetics of IPX-461 have been studied in healthy volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes. Following oral administration, IPX-461 is rapidly absorbed, with peak plasma concentrations reached within 1-2 hours. The drug has a long half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing. IPX-461 is extensively metabolized in the liver, with minimal excretion in the urine. IPX-461

Several clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of IPX-461 in patients with type 2 diabetes. In a phase II study, IPX-461 demonstrated significant improvements in glycemic control, including reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels. In a phase III study, IPX-461 showed comparable efficacy to pioglitazone, a marketed TZD, in improving glycemic control and lipid profiles. IPX-461 was granted Fast Track designation by the

The safety profile of IPX-461 has been evaluated in several clinical trials. The most common adverse events reported with IPX-461 include edema, weight gain, and headache. In a pooled analysis of phase II and III studies, IPX-461 was associated with a higher incidence of edema compared to placebo, but the incidence of other adverse events was similar. The pharmacokinetics of IPX-461 have been studied in
