Clinical Trials

Multiple Phase 1 clinical trials sponsored by LG Chem, currently of unknown recruitment status, evaluate gemigliptin for metabolic indications, specifically type 2 diabetes mellitus and concurrent dyslipidemias. These early-phase investigations assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the compound, as well as potential drug-drug interactions following oral co-administration with dapagliflozin. Together, these studies aim to establish the overall pharmacological profile and therapeutic safety of gemigliptin for managing metabolic disorders.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Gemigliptin functions as a potent and selective dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, binding the enzyme with high affinity (Ki = 7.25 nM) to prevent the degradation of circulating incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1. By preserving active incretin levels, the compound enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release, thereby improving glycemic control in clinical conditions including type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemias.
