24-week Treatment With Lixisenatide in Type 2 Diabetes Insufficiently Controlled With Metformin and Insulin Glargine

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects on glycemic control of lixisenatide in comparison to placebo as an add-on treatment to insulin glargine and metformin over a period of 24 weeks. The secondary objectives are : - To assess the effects of lixisenatide on the percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7 % and < or = 6.5 %, on plasma glucose (fasting, post-prandial during a standardized meal challenge test, 7-point self monitored profiles), body weight, insulin glargine doses. - To evaluate lixisenatide safety and tolerability as add on treatment to insulin glargine and metformin. - To assess the impact of lixisenatide on treatment satisfaction using the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (state) (DTSQs) in the participating countries where it is validated.

Brief Title24-week Treatment With Lixisenatide in Type 2 Diabetes Insufficiently Controlled With Metformin and Insulin Glargine
Official TitleA Randomized, Placebo-controlled, 2-arm Parallel-group, Multicenter Study With a 24-week Double-blind Treatment Period Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Lixisenatide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Insufficiently Controlled With Insulin Glargine and Metformin
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects on glycemic control of
lixisenatide in comparison to placebo as an add-on treatment to insulin glargine and
metformin over a period of 24 weeks.

The secondary objectives are :

- To assess the effects of lixisenatide on the percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7 %
and < or = 6.5 %, on plasma glucose (fasting, post-prandial during a standardized meal
challenge test, 7-point self monitored profiles), body weight, insulin glargine doses.

- To evaluate lixisenatide safety and tolerability as add on treatment to insulin
glargine and metformin.

- To assess the impact of lixisenatide on treatment satisfaction using the Diabetes
Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (state) (DTSQs) in the participating countries
where it is validated.
Detailed Description
The study will comprise 3 periods:

- An up-to 14-week screening period, which includes an up to 2-week screening phase and a
12-week run-in phase with introduction and titration of insulin glargine on top of
metformin +/-TZDs.

- At the end of the run-in phase, patients whose HbA1c (centralized assay) is > or = 7%
and < or = 9% and whose mean fasting SMPG calculated from the self measurements for the
7 days prior to visit 12 (week -1) is less than or equal to 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/l),
will enter a 24-week double-blind randomized treatment period comparing lixisenatide to
placebo (on top of insulin glargine + metformin +/-TZDs).

- A 3 day-safety follow up period.
