THIS IS DEC2012 COMPILATION. READER MAY ENCOUNTER AN APPROVED OR DROPPED ENTRY
A variety of new drugs are in development for the treatment of type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In addition to new dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-IV) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide (GLP) 1 analogs, basal insulin analogs, and new insulin formulations, there are also unique dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α/γ agonist, G-protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40 agonist, sodium dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, and several other unique agents now in development.
A list of 25 drug candidates has been compiled for which diabetes is at least one proposed or approved indication, and for which one indication has reached Phase III or Registration phases. Each entry includes the name of the drug candidate, the sponsor, and, where applicable, chemical structures, collaboration partners; method of action; indication (by market, where applicable); and phase of trial. Some products are still in clinical trial phases for new indications or formulations after winning marketing approval for initial indications; these approvals, where applicable, are listed on the bottom of each entry.

Merck is the dominant player in the market for diabetes drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors, with the blockbuster success of its first-in-class therapy Januvia (Sitagliptin). And the Whitehouse Station, NJ-based pharma giant has built a pipeline of novel and combo therapies that could build on this position.In September, Merck published phase 2b results for MK-3102 that showed efficacy and safety nearly even with Januvia. Janumet is more effective for some patients, since it’s a combination of Januvia and metformin, but MK-3102 is convenient with a once-weekly dosage.
