Multiple Phase 1 and Phase 3 clinical trials have evaluated miglitol, primarily in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as type 1 diabetes mellitus and healthy volunteers. Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies such as Sanwa Kagaku Kenkyusho Co., Ltd. and Astellas Pharma Inc., these studies examined miglitol as monotherapy, in combination with insulin or biguanides, and for its drug interaction profile. All recorded clinical trials have completed recruitment.
