A Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MK-1293 Compared to Lantus™ in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) (MK-1293-003)
- Conditions
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT02059161
- Lead Sponsor
- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of MK-1293 to Lantus™ in participants with T1DM. The primary hypothesis is that after 24 weeks, the mean change in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) from baseline is non-inferior in participants treated with MK-1293 compared with participants treated with Lantus™.

Group Intervention Description MK-1293 MK-1293 MK-1293 dosed subcutaneously once daily at bedtime for 52 weeks. Doses were individually titrated post randomization to the suggested target for fasting fingerstick glucose levels of \>70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and ≤100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). MK-1293 Prandial Insulin MK-1293 dosed subcutaneously once daily at bedtime for 52 weeks. Doses were individually titrated post randomization to the suggested target for fasting fingerstick glucose levels of \>70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and ≤100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Lantus Lantus™ Lantus dosed subcutaneously once daily at bedtime for 52 weeks. Doses were individually titrated post-randomization to the suggested target for fasting fingerstick glucose levels of \>70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and ≤100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Lantus Prandial Insulin Lantus dosed subcutaneously once daily at bedtime for 52 weeks. Doses were individually titrated post-randomization to the suggested target for fasting fingerstick glucose levels of \>70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and ≤100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in AIA Titer After 24 Weeks of Treatment Baseline and Week 24 This immunogenicity analysis will assess the effect of treatment with MK-1293 compared with Lantus on anti-insulin antibody development after 24 weeks of treatment. This change from baseline reflects the Week 24 AIA titer minus the Week 0 AIA titer.
Percentage of Participants Who Develop Insulin Neutralizing Antibodies Up Through Week 24 Up to Week 24 Percentage of Participants Who Develop Insulin Neutralizing Antibodies Up Through Week 24. This immunogenicity analysis assessed the effect of treatment with MK-1293 and with Lantus on insulin-neutralizing antibody (INab) development up through 24 weeks of treatment.
Primary: Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) at Week 24 Baseline and Week 24 A1C is blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over prolonged periods of time and is reported as a percentage (%). This change from baseline reflects the Week 24 A1C minus the Week 0 A1C.
Percentage of Participants With Negative AIA at Baseline Who Develop Confirmed Positive AIA at Any Time Up Through Week 24 Up to Week 24 Percentage of participants who became positive to AIA at or before Week 24, among participants who were AIA negative at baseline.
