Safety and Efficacy Study of Insulin Lispro Versus Insulin Aspart in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin Pump Therapy

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01474538
Lead Sponsor
Eli Lilly and Company
Brief Summary

This study will provide information on the use of insulin lispro and insulin aspart in insulin pumps in participants with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

This study will provide clinical information on the use of insulin lispro in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in participants with type 2 diabetes. This study is designed to allow comparison of the 2 rapid-acting insulin analogs, with regard to their efficacy and safety, when used as a pump insulin therapy in this participant population. Each participant will be randomized to 1 of the 2 sequence groups in a 1:1 ratio and randomization will be stratified according to screening A1C (less than or equal to 8.0% or greater than 8.0%) and thiazolidinedione (TZD) use (yes or no). The study design includes the following periods: Screening/Randomization, Treatment Period 1 (16 weeks), and Treatment Period 2 (16 weeks).

Inclusion Criteria
  • Have type 2 diabetes (per World Health Organization [WHO] Classification of Diabetes)
  • Have been treated with CSII therapy using a rapid-acting analog for the previous 6 months
  • Have a screening A1C less than or equal to 9.0% (no lower limit for A1C)

  • Have a history of stable body weight (not varying by greater than 10% for at least 3 months prior to screening)
  • For participants on oral anti-diabetes medications (OAMs): must have been on a stable dose of OAMs, labeled for use with insulin, for at least 3 months prior to study entry
Exclusion Criteria
  • Have severe insulin resistance [require greater than 2 units/kilogram/day (U/kg/day) of insulin]
  • Are taking or have taken within the last 3 months, antihyperglycemic medication not approved for use with insulin, injectable non-insulin antihyperglycemic medications, or have a contraindication to current antihyperglycemic medication
  • Have a serum creatinine greater than or equal to 2 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) if not on metformin; known metabolic or lactic acidosis; any condition associated with hypoperfusion, hypoxemia, dehydration, or sepsis; and/or a radiologic contrast study within 48 hours prior to study entry
  • Are receiving chronic (lasting longer than 2 weeks) systemic glucocorticoid therapy (excluding topical, intraocular, intraarticular, and inhaled preparations) or have received such therapy within 2 weeks immediately before screening
  • Have had more than 1 episode of hypoglycemia (defined as requiring assistance of a third party due to disabling hypoglycemia) within 6 months prior to entry into the study

Insulin Aspart, then Insulin LisproInsulin AspartInsulin aspart (100 U/mL) administered by CSII pump for 16 weeks in Treatment Period 1, followed by insulin lispro (100 U/mL) administered by CSII pump for 16 weeks in Treatment Period 2.
Insulin Lispro, then Insulin AspartInsulin LisproInsulin lispro \[100 units/milliliter (U/mL)\] administered by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump for 16 weeks in Treatment Period 1, followed by insulin aspart (100 U/mL) administered by CSII pump for 16 weeks in Treatment Period 2.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) at EndpointAfter 16 weeks of each treatment (Periods1 and 2)

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a form of hemoglobin which is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over the last 8-12 weeks. Least Squares (LS) means were adjusted for treatment, period, sequence, thiazolidinedione use (Yes/No), baseline HbA1c (\>8% or ≤8%) and participants.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Daily Insulin DoseWeek 16 of each treatment (Periods 1 and 2)

Total daily insulin dose was the average of the last 3 days total insulin dose immediately prior to the Week 16 (endpoint) visit of each treatment period. Least Squares (LS) means were adjusted for treatment, period, sequence, thiazolidinedione use (Yes/No), baseline Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (\>8% or ≤8%) and participants.

Rate of Hypoglycemic Events Per 30 DaysBaseline through 16 weeks of each treatment (Periods 1 and 2)

A hypoglycemic episode is defined as any time a participant feels that he/she is experiencing a sign or symptom that is associated with hypoglycemia, or has blood glucose concentration of ≤70 milligrams/deciliter \[mg/dL (3.9 millimoles/liter (mmol/L)\]. Least Squares (LS) means were adjusted for treatment, period, sequence, baseline hypoglycemic event rate, thiazolidinedione use (Yes/No) and baseline Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (\>8% or ≤8%).

Change From Baseline in WeightBaseline, Week 16 of treatment Periods 1 and 2

Least Squares (LS) means were adjusted for treatment, period, sequence, thiazolidinedione use (Yes/No), baseline Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (\>8% or ≤8%), baseline weight and participants.

Percentage of Participants With Hypoglycemic EventsBaseline through 16 weeks of each treatment (Periods 1 and 2)

A hypoglycemic episode is defined as any time a participant feels that he/she is experiencing a sign or symptom that is associated with hypoglycemia, or has blood glucose concentration of ≤ 70 milligrams/deciliter \[mg/dL (3.9 millimoles/liter (mmol/L)\]. The percentage of participants is the total number of participants experiencing hypoglycemic events divided by number of participants in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.
