Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials spanning Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 4 evaluate the therapeutic profile of tofogliflozin in healthy volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic kidney disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Sponsored by industry entities like Sanofi and Kowa alongside academic institutions such as Shinshu University and Kanazawa University, these studies focus on bioequivalence, safety, and metabolic outcomes. Although most trials are completed, recruitment continues for a Phase 2 clinical trial examining urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratios in diabetic renal disease.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Tofogliflozin selectively binds to human sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (hSGLT2), blocking renal glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubules and inducing urinary glucose excretion. This reduced glycemic load lowers plasma glucose levels and ameliorates metabolic stress, underpinning its clinical utility in treating conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic kidney disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
Facility Environment Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring.
Quality Control Basic purity and activity testing. Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma).
Process Validation Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records.
Quality Assurance Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits.
Regulatory Impact High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF).
