Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02787551
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the superiority of the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination (FRC) versus GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) change.

Secondary Objectives:

To compare the overall efficacy and safety of the insulin glargine/lixisenatide FRC to GLP-1 RA on top of metformin (with or without pioglitazone, with or without sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 \[SGLT2\] inhibitor) in participants with type 2 diabetes.

To evaluate safety, efficacy and other endpoints of FRC up to the end of the extension period.

Detailed Description

The maximum duration for GLP1-RA participants was approximately 29 weeks: up to 2 week screening period, a 26 week treatment period (either randomized or uncontrolled), and a 3 or 9 day post-treatment safety follow-up period.

Maximum duration for FRC participants was approximately 55 weeks: up to 2-week screening period, a 26-week randomized treatment period, a 26-week extension period and a 3-day post-treatment safety follow-up period.

All primary and secondary efficacy, safety and other outcome measures were assessed at the end of the extension period.

Dose individually adjusted. Single arm extension period: Participants who completed core treatment period and met eligibility criteria entered in extension treatment period and received same treatment (FRC injected subcutaneously QD on top of OAD therapy) for 26 weeks (up to Week 52). Dose individually adjusted.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) to Week 26: Core PeriodBaseline, Week 26

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted least squares (LS) mean and standard error (SE) were obtained from Mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data using all available post baseline data during the 26 week treatment period.

Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) to Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodBaseline, Week 52

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 52 value.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Reaching HbA1c <7 % or <=6.5% at Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodWeek 52

Participants without any available HbA1c assessment at Week 52 were considered as non-responders.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) to Week 26: Core PeriodBaseline, Week 26

Change in FPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted LS means and SE were obtained from MMRM to account for missing data using all available post baseline data during the 26 week treatment period.

Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Blood Glucose Excursion During Standardized Meal Test to Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodBaseline, Week 52

2-hour plasma glucose excursion = 2-hour PPG value minus plasma glucose value obtained 30 minutes prior to the start of meal and before IMP administration if IMP was injected before breakfast. Change in plasma glucose excursions were calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 52 value. Missing data was imputed using LOCF.

Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue Therapy During the 26 Week Treatment Period: Core PeriodFrom Baseline to Week 26

Routine HbA1c value was used to determine the requirement of rescue medication. Threshold values at Week 12 or later on Week 12: HbA1c \>8%.

Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 26: Core PeriodBaseline, Week 26

Change in body weight was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value.

Percentage of Participants Reaching HbA1c <7% or <=6.5% at Week 26: Core PeriodWeek 26

Participants without any available HbA1c assessment at Week 26 were considered as non-responders.

Change From Baseline in the Daily Average of the 7-point Self-monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) to Week 26: Core PeriodBaseline, Week 26

The 7-point SMPG profile was measured at the following 7 points: pre-prandial and 2 hours postprandial for breakfast, lunch, dinner and at bedtime. Two hours postprandial (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was defined as 2 hours after the start of the meal. Adjusted LS means and SE were obtained from MMRM to account for missing data using all available post baseline data during the 26 week treatment period.

Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) During Standardized Meal Test to Week 26: Core PeriodBaseline, Week 26

The 2-hour PPG test measured blood glucose 2 hours after eating a liquid standardized breakfast meal. Change in PPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) During Standardized Meal Test to Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodBaseline, Week 52

The 2-hour PPG test measured blood glucose 2 hours after eating a liquid standardized breakfast meal. Change in PPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 52 value. Missing data was imputed using LOCF.

Change From Baseline in the Daily Average of the 7-point Self-monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) to Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodBaseline, Week 52

The 7-point SMPG profile was measured at the following 7 points: pre-prandial and 2 hours postprandial for breakfast, lunch, dinner and at bedtime. Two hours postprandial (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was defined as 2 hours after the start of the meal.

Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue Therapy During the 52 Week Treatment Period: Single Arm Extension PeriodFrom Week 26 to Week 52

Routine HbA1c value was used to determine the requirement of rescue medication. Threshold values at Week 12 or later on Week 12: HbA1c \>8%.

Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Blood Glucose Excursion During Standardized Meal Test to Week 26: Core PeriodBaseline, Week 26

2-hour plasma glucose excursion = 2-hour PPG value minus plasma glucose value obtained 30 minutes prior to the start of meal and before investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration if IMP was injected before breakfast. Change in plasma glucose excursions were calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Missing data was imputed using LOCF.

Change From Baseline in Body Weight to Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodBaseline, Week 52

Change in body weight was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 52 value.

Number of Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia Events Per Participant-Year: Core PeriodFrom Baseline to Week 26

Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of \<=3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). Hypoglycemic episodes with plasma glucose of \<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL) were also analyzed.

Number of Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia Events Per Participant-Year: Single Arm Extension PeriodFrom Baseline to Week 52

Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of \<=3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). Hypoglycemic episodes with plasma glucose of \<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL) were also analyzed.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) to Week 52: Single Arm Extension PeriodBaseline, Week 52
