Efficacy and Safety of Efpeglenatide Versus Placebo in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Basal Insulin Alone or in Combination With Oral Antidiabetic Drug(s)

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Background therapy
Registration Number
NCT03713684
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with basal insulin alone or in combination with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs).

Secondary Objectives:

* To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo on glycemic control.

* To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo on body weight.

* To evaluate the safety of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide.

Detailed Description

Study duration per participant was approximately 64 weeks including an up to 2-week Screening Period, a 30-week Core Treatment Period, a 26-week Safety Extension Period, and a 6-week safety Follow-up Period.

Efpeglenatide 6 mgEfpeglenatide SAR439977Participants received Efpeglenatide 6 mg SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of basal insulin alone or in combination with OADs. Participants initiated dosing at 2 mg once weekly up to Week 1; which was up titrated to 4 mg until Week 4 and later up-titrated to 6 mg and maintained at the 6 mg dose through-out the treatment duration up to Week 56.
Efpeglenatide 2 mgEfpeglenatide SAR439977Participants received Efpeglenatide 2 milligrams (mg) SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of basal insulin alone or in combination with OADs.

Participants initiated dosing at 2 mg once weekly up to Week 1; which was up titrated to 4 mg and maintained at the 4 mg dose through-out the treatment duration up to Week 56.
Efpeglenatide 2 mgBackground therapyParticipants received Efpeglenatide 2 milligrams (mg) SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of basal insulin alone or in combination with OADs.
PlaceboBackground therapyParticipants received placebo (matched to efpeglenatide) subcutaneous (SC) injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of basal insulin alone or in combination with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week 30 in HbA1cBaseline to Week 30
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week 56 in HbA1cBaseline to Week 56

This analysis included Week 56 assessment performed per protocol as well as premature end of treatment/study visit recorded as Week 56 due to early termination.

Change From Baseline to Week 30 in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)Baseline to Week 30
Change From Baseline to Week 30 and Week 56 in Body WeightBaseline to Week 30 and Week 56

This analysis included Week 56 assessment performed per protocol as well as premature end of treatment/study visit recorded as Week 56 due to early termination.

Number of Participants With HbA1c <7.0% at Week 30Week 30

Participants who had no available assessment for HbA1c at Week 30 were considered as non-responders.

Number of Participants With At Least One Hypoglycemic Events (Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia <3.0 mmol/L [<54 mg/dL], and Severe Hypoglycemia)Baseline up to Week 56

Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of \<54 mg/dL (\<3.0 mmol/L). Severe hypoglycemia was an event requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions.

Number of Hypoglycemic Events (Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia <3.0 mmol/L [<54 mg/dL] and Severe Hypoglycemia) Per Participant-YearBaseline up to Week 56

Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of \<54 mg/dL (\<3.0 mmol/L). Severe hypoglycemia was an event requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions.
