6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In clinical trials, approximately 2,600 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were treated with Nateglinide Tablets.
Of these, approximately 1,335 patients were treated for 6 months or longer and approximately 190 patients for one year or longer.
Table 1 shows the most common adverse reactions associated with Nateglinide Tablets.
Table 1: Adverse Reactions other than Hypoglycemia (%) occurring Greater than or Equal to 2% in Nateglinide Tablets-Treated Patients from Pool of 12 to 64 week Placebo Controlled Trials Placebo Nateglinide Tablets N=458 N=1441 Preferred Term Upper Respiratory Infection 8.1 10.5 Back Pain 3.7 4.0 Flu Symptoms 2.6 3.6 Dizziness 2.2 3.6 Arthropathy 2.2 3.3 Diarrhea 3.1 3.2 Accidental Trauma 1.7 2.9 Bronchitis 2.6 2.7 Coughing 2.2 2.4 Hypoglycemia Episodes of severe hypoglycemia (plasma glucose less than 36 mg/dL) were reported in two patients treated with Nateglinide Tablets.
Non-severe hypoglycemia occurred in 2.4 % of Nateglinide Tablets treated patients and 0.4 % of placebo-treated patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].
Weight Gain Patients treated with Nateglinide Tablets had statistically significant mean increases in weight compared to placebo.
In clinical trials, the mean weight increases with Nateglinide Tablets 60 mg (3 times daily) and Nateglinide Tablets 120 mg (3 times daily) compared to placebo were 1.0 kg and 1.6 kg respectively.
Laboratory Test Increases in Uric Acid: There were increases in mean uric acid levels for patients treated with Nateglinide Tablets alone, Nateglinide Tablets in combination with metformin, metformin alone, and glyburide alone.
The respective differences from placebo were 0.29 mg/dL, 0.45 mg/dL, 0.28 mg/dL, and 0.19 mg/dL.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Nateglinide Tablets.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Rash, itching, and urticaria Hepatobiliary Disorders: Jaundice, cholestatic hepatitis, and elevated liver enzymes
