Efficacy and Safety of Efpeglenatide Versus Dulaglutide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Metformin

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Drug: Background therapy Metformin
Registration Number
NCT03684642
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the non-inferiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to once weekly injection of dulaglutide on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change in participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with metformin.

Secondary Objectives:

* To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide with once weekly injection of dulaglutide on glycemic control.

* To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide with once weekly injection of dulaglutide on body weight.

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

Detailed Description

Study duration per participant was approximately 65 weeks including an up to 3-week Screening Period, a 56-week Treatment Period and a 6-week safety Follow-up Period.

Efpeglenatide 6 mgEfpeglenatideParticipants received Efpeglenatide SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of metformin. Participants initiated dosing at 2 mg once weekly and increased every 2 weeks to the maximum of 6 mg once weekly for the treatment duration.
Efpeglenatide 4 mgEfpeglenatideParticipants received Efpeglenatide subcutaneous (SC) injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of metformin. Participants initiated dosing at 2 mg once weekly and increased every 2 weeks to the maximum of 4 mg once weekly for the treatment duration.

Dulaglutide 1.5 mgDulaglutideParticipants received Dulaglutide SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of metformin. Participants initiated dosing at 0.75 mg once weekly and increased after 2 weeks to 1.5 mg once weekly for the treatment duration.

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

Adjusted Least square (LS) means and Standard errors (SE) were obtained from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model to account for missing data. Missing values were imputed by baseline observation carried forward (BOCF)-like multiple imputation method.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week 56 in Body WeightBaseline to Week 56

Adjusted LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model to account for missing data. Missing values were imputed by BOCF-like multiple imputation method.

Number of Participants With HbA1c < 7.0 %Week 56

Participants who had no available assessment for HbA1c at Week 56 were considered as non-responders.

Change From Baseline to Week 56 in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)Baseline to Week 56

Adjusted LS means and SE were obtained from ANCOVA model to account for missing data. Missing values were imputed by BOCF-like multiple imputation method.

Number of Participants With At Least One Hypoglycemic Events (Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia <3.0 mmol/L [<54 mg/dL], 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 milligrams per deciliter (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.
