Safety and Efficacy of Bexagliflozin Compared to Placebo as Add-on Therapy to Metformin in Type 2 Diabetes Subjects

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Type2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03259789
Lead Sponsor
Theracos
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bexagliflozin compared to placebo as an add-on therapy to metformin in lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Detailed Description

Approximately 300 subjects with inadequately controlled T2DM on metformin were to be recruited from the United States and Japan. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive bexagliflozin tablets, 20 mg, or bexagliflozin tablets, placebo, in a ratio of 1:1 once daily for 24 weeks. Subjects were to continue taking metformin for the duration of the study. The study also enrolled 50 subjects with extremely poorly controlled T2DM on metformin to receive open-label bexagliflozin tablets, 20 mg, for 24 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 24 for Double-blind GroupBaseline to week 24

HbA1c was obtained at baseline and at Week 24. The model-adjusted change from baseline was calculated using mixed-effects repeated measures analysis.

Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 24 for High Glycemic GroupBaseline to week 24

The change in HbA1c from baseline at Week 24 in High Glycemic Group was calculated by subtracting the mean HbA1c at baseline from the mean HbA1c at Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of Subjects Achieving HbA1c < 7% Over Time for Double-blind GroupBaseline, up to 24 weeks

The proportion of subjects who achieved HbA1c \< 7% at 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks were calculated based on the number of subjects with a value at each time point for each group. The model-adjusted proportion was calculated based on a logistic analysis using Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) logistic regression that includes country, treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction and the baseline HbA1c value as a fixed effect covariate. An unstructured correlation structure will be used, or autoregressive if the model with the unstructured structure does not converge.

Proportion of Subjects Achieving HbA1c < 7% Over Time for High Glycemic GroupBaseline, up to 24 weeks

The proportion of subjects who achieved HbA1c \< 7% at 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks were calculated based on the number of subjects with a value at each time point for each group.

Change in Body Mass From Baseline to Week 24 in Subjects With a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 for Double-blind GroupBaseline to week 24

Changes in body mass from baseline to week 24 was calculated based on LS means for both bexagliflozin and placebo groups.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24 for Double-blind GroupBaseline, up to 24 weeks

FPG was obtained at baseline and at Week 24. The model-adjusted change from baseline was calculated using mixed-effects repeated measures analysis.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24 for High Glycemic GroupBaseline, up to 24 weeks

The change in FPG from baseline at Week 24 for High Glycemic Group was calculated by subtracting the mean FPG at baseline from the mean FPG at Week 24

Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) at Week 24Baseline to week 24

Changes from baseline at Week 24 in SBP for the double-blind group and high glycemic group

Change in Body Mass From Baseline to Week 24 in Subjects With a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 for High Glycemic GroupBaseline to week 24

The change in body mass from baseline at week 24 for High Glycemic group was calculated by subtracting the mean body mass at baseline from the mean body mass at week 24

Change From Baseline in HbA1c Over Time in Double-blind Treatment GroupBaseline, up to 24 weeks

The change from baseline in HbA1c at 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks was calculated based on the number of subjects with a value at each time point for each group. The model-adjusted change from baseline was calculated based on a mixed-effects repeated measures analysis that includes country, treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction and the baseline HbA1c value as a fixed effect covariate.

Change in HbA1c Over Time Among Subjects Who Have Baseline HbA1c of > 10.5% and ≤ 12.0%Baseline, up to 24 weeks

The change from baseline in HbA1c at 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks was calculated based on the number of subjects with a value at each time point in High Glycemic Group.
