Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

Primary Objective: To compare the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination to lixisenatide alone and to insulin glargine alone (on top of metformin treatment) in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from baseline to Week 30. Secondary Objective: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination (FRC) to insulin glargine alone and to lixisenatide alone (on top of metformin treatment) over a 30 week treatment period in participants with type 2 diabetes.

Full detailed description

Approximately 37 weeks including up to 6 weeks of screening, 30-week treatment period, and a 3 days follow-up period.

Interventions

Treatment arms and agents.

DRUG

Insulin glargine/lixisenatide Fixed Ratio Combination

Insulin glargine/Lixisenatide FRC was self-administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection in the morning within one hour before breakfast using one of the 2 prefilled disposable SoloStar® pen-injectors: Pen A containing 100 U/mL insulin glargine (Lantus, 100 U/mL) and 50 mcg/mL lixisenatide in a ratio of 2 U:1 mcg, used for administration of doses from 10 U to 40 U (10 U/5mcg to 40 U/20mcg). Pen B containing 100 U/mL insulin glargine (Lantus, 100 U/mL) and 33 mcg/mL lixisenatide in a ratio of 3 U:1 mcg, used to administer doses from 41 U to 60 U (41 U/13 mcg to 60 U/20 mcg). The starting dose was 10 U/5 mcg. Dose was then adjusted individually to reach and maintain fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) of 80 mg/dL to 100 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L to 5.6 mmol/L) while avoiding hypoglycemia.

DRUG

Insulin glargine (HOE901)

Insulin glargine (100 U/mL) was self-administered by SC injection at approximately the same time every day. Dose was adjusted individually to reach and maintain fasting SMPG of 80 mg/dL to 100 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L to 5.6 mmol/L) while avoiding hypoglycemia.

DRUG

Lixisenatide (AVE0010)

Lixisenatide was self-administered by SC injection within 0 to 60 minutes before breakfast or evening meal. If the maintenance dose of 20 mcg was not tolerated, dose could be reduced to 10 mcg.

DRUG

Metformin

Pharmaceutical form: Tablet; Route of administration: Oral administration.

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 30

Time frame · Baseline, Week 30

Primary outcome was to test superiority of FRC versus Lixisenatide and non-inferiority versus Insulin glargine. Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 30 value.

Secondary outcomes

Percentage of Participants With HbA1c <7.0% or ≤6.5% at Week 30

Time frame · Week 30

Participants without Week 30 value for HbA1c were counted as non-responders.

Change in Plasma Glucose Excursion From Baseline to Week 30

Time frame · Baseline, Week 30

Plasma glucose excursion = 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (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 30 value. Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 30

Time frame · Baseline, Week 30

Change in body weight was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 30 value.

Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From Baseline to Week 30

Time frame · Baseline, Week 30

Change in FPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 30 value.

Mean Change in 7-point Self-monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) Profile From Baseline to Week 30

Time frame · Baseline, Week 30

Participants recorded a 7-point plasma glucose profile measured before and 2 hours after each meal and at bedtime two times in a week before baseline, before visit Week 12 and before visit Week 30 and the average value across the profiles performed in the week before a visit for the 7-time points was calculated. Change in average 7-point SMPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 30 value. The analysis included all scheduled measurements obtained during the study. The missing data was handled by mixed effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) approach.

Percentage of Participants Reaching HbA1c <7.0% With No Body Weight Gain at Week 30

Time frame · Week 30

Percentage of Participants Reaching HbA1c <7.0% With No Body Weight Gain at Week 30 and No Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia (Plasma Glucose [PG] ≤ 70 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L]) During 30-Week Treatment Period

Time frame · Baseline up to Week 30

Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of ≤70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L).

Average Daily Insulin Glargine Dose at Week 30

Time frame · Week 30

The analysis included scheduled measurements obtained up to the date of last injection of the IMP, including those obtained after introduction of rescue therapy.

Change in 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) From Baseline to Week 30

Time frame · Baseline, Week 30

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 30 value. Missing data was imputed using LOCF.

Percentage of Participants Reaching HbA1c <7.0% at Week 30 With No Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia (PG ≤ 70 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L]) During 30-Week Treatment Period

Time frame · Baseline up to Week 30

Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of ≤70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L). The analysis included all HbA1c measurements at Week 30, including those obtained after the IMP discontinuation or the introduction of rescue medication.
