Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to determine whether NLRP3 inhibition with dapansutrile represents a new pharmacological option for diabetes management with potential as an anti-inflammatory agent to also address micro- and macro-vascular risk and complications from diabetes.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Drug: Dapansutrile Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
To date, no other oral NLRP3 inhibitor has sufficiently advanced in development to be tested in a chronic low-grade inflammatory disease such as type 2 diabetes mellitus over a period of 3 to 4 months as proposed in this trial. Based on the publicly available information, dapansutrile is the most advanced oral NLRP3 inhibitor in development. The rationale is built upon dapansutrile's clinical and extensive preclinical and safety findings, and from data in chronic animal toxicology studies to date, which together enable and support its investigation in select chronic low-grade inflammatory diseases. Therefore, the investigators have selected type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications, including risk for cardiovascular disease, as a disease with clinical features of low-grade inflammation to further investigate the therapeutic potential of NLRP3 inhibition with dapansutrile.

Drug: Dapansutrile
Patients receive investigational product.
Other Names:
  • 3-methanesulfonyl-propionitrile
  • OLT1177

Placebo Comparator: Control Group
Matching placebo (2 tablets) administered twice a day from day 1 through the Week 26 visit, inclusive. All tablets will be self-administered by mouth with water, with or without food.
Drug: Placebo
Patients receive placebo.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in HbA1c in blood of patients for dapansutrile compared to placebo [ Time Frame: two time assessment at baseline and week 26 ]
    Comparison of change in HbA1c for dapansutrile and placebo


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in HbA1c in blood of patients for dapansutrile compared to placebo [ Time Frame: six time assessment at baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 ]
    Comparison of change in HbA1c for dapansutrile and placebo

  2. Change in fasting plasma glucose for dapansutrile compared to placebo [ Time Frame: seven time assessement at baseline and week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 26 ]
    Comparison of change in fasting plasma glucose for dapansutrile and placebo
