A Study of LY2605541 in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Phase 3

Completed

Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Interventions: Drug: LY2605541
Drug: Insulin Lispro

Registration Number: NCT01792284

Lead Sponsor: Eli Lilly and Company

Brief Summary: The primary purpose of participation in this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of different dosing schedules of LY2605541 and how different dosing schedules of LY2605541 affect Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Participants will be treated for up to 36 weeks with LY2605541 (one 12-week Lead-in period and two 12-week Randomization periods) and will participate in a total of 42 weeks of total study enrollment, including a 2-week Screening period and a 4-week Follow-up period.

Detailed Description: This study involved a comparison of LY2605541 regimens, each administered with bolus insulin lispro. Eligible participants were switched to a fixed evening LY2605541dosing regimen at the beginning of the 12-week lead-in period. LY2605541 was administered SQ once-daily using a prefilled insulin device. The LY2605541dose was adjusted using a dosing algorithm adapted from Bartley and Bolli (Bartley et al. 2008, Bolli et al. 2009) based on the participant's blood glucose (BG) values and documented hypoglycemia during the previous week. Participants not already receiving insulin lispro for prandial dosing were switched to insulin lispro at the beginning of the 12-week lead-in period. Adjustments to insulin lispro doses were based on the insulin dosing algorithms adapted from Riddle and Bergenstal (Riddle et al. 2003, Bergenstal et al. 2008). At the time of randomization, participants were randomized to begin either the fixed evening dosing regimen or the variable time dosing regimen. Each participant was crossed over to the alternate regimen after 12 weeks. The insulin device (prefilled pen) remained the same throughout the study.

Group	Intervention	Description
LY2605541 Fixed Time Dosing	LY2605541	Participant-specific dose of LY2605541 administered subcutaneously (SQ) at approximately the same time every evening for 12 weeks in the Lead-in Period and in Randomization Period 1 or Randomization Period 2. Participant-specific dose of insulin lispro SQ when \>20% of calories were consumed (pre-meal). Insulin dose and adjustments to insulin dose were determined by insulin algorithms based on self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG). Target glucose values were as follows: Preprandial and bedtime BG between 71 and 130 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) Insulin adjustment and glucose correction between 71 and 100 mg/dL.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 12 Weeks	At 12 Week in Each Randomization Period	HbA1c is a test that measures a person's average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) analysis including the following fixed effects: treatment, period, sequence, baseline HbA1c (last nonmissing value at or before randomization), week (defined from the start of each Randomization Period), and treatment-by-week interaction.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
30-Day Adjusted Rate of Total and Nocturnal Hypoglycemic Events	Baseline (Day 1) of Randomization Period through 24 Weeks (12 weeks in each Randomization Period)	Total hypoglycemic events (HE) include any event based on a blood glucose \<=70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (3.9 millimoles per liter \[mmol/L\]), with or without signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia or an event associated with signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia but without a glucose measurement. Nocturnal HE include any total HE that occurred between bedtime and waking. Group Means are presented and were calculated from negative binomial regression models (number of episodes = treatment + period + treatment sequence + baseline HbA1c \[\<=8.0% or \>8.0%\], with log \[exposure in days/30\] as an offset variable). Group Mean (LS mean) is estimated by taking the inverse link function on individual participant covariates first and then averages over all participants.
Intra-participant Variability in SMBG at 12 Weeks	At 12 Week in Each Randomization Period	A summary of glucose variability (intra-participant variability) as measured by the average of between-day standard deviations of individual SMBG time points. LS means were calculated using MMRM analysis including the following fixed effects: treatment, period, sequence, baseline intra-participant variability in SMBG (last nonmissing value at or before randomization), baseline HbA1c (\<=8.0% or \>8.0%), week (defined from the start of each Randomization Period), and treatment-by-week interaction.
Change From Day 1 of Lead-In Period to 36 Weeks in Body Weight	Day 1 of Lead-In Period, 36 Weeks	LS means were calculated using MMRM analysis, including visit and baseline weight (last non-missing value at or before the beginning of Lead-in Period) as covariates.
Participants With Treatment-Emergent Anti-LY2605541 Antibody Response	Day 1 of Lead-in Period through 36 Weeks	The number of participants with a treatment emergent anti-LY2605541 antibody response (TEAR) is presented. Positive TEAR was defined as change from baseline to post-baseline in the anti-LY2605541 antibody level either from 1) undetectable to detectable or from 2) detectable to the value with at least 130% relative increase from baseline.
Percentage of Participants With Total and Nocturnal Hypoglycemic Events	Baseline (Day 1) of Randomization Period through 24 weeks (12 weeks in each Randomization Period)	Total HE include any event based on a blood glucose \<=70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), with or without signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia or an event associated with signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia but without a glucose measurement. Nocturnal HE include any total HE that occurred between bedtime and waking. The percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants with hypoglycemic episodes by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100.
Intra-Participant Variability of FBG at 12 Weeks	At 12 Weeks in Each Randomization Period	FBG was measured by SMBG. Between-day glucose variability is measured by the standard deviation of FBG.
