Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose Primary Objective: - The purpose of this study is to compare insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio combination versus insulin glargine on glycemic control over 24 weeks, as evaluated by HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) reduction in type 2 diabetic patients treated with metformin Secondary Objectives: - To compare insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination versus insulin glargine over 24 weeks on: - Glycemic control in relation to a meal as evaluated by post-prandial plasma glucose and glucose excursions during a standardized meal test - Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7% or ≤6.5% - 7-point Self-Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) profile - Body weight - Insulin glargine dose - Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) - Percentage of patients requiring rescue therapy during the 24-week open label treatment period - To assess safety and tolerability of insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio combination.

Official TitleA Randomized, 24-week, Open-label, 2-arm Parallel-group, Multicenter Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Glargine/Lixisenatide Fixed Ratio Combination Versus Insulin Glargine on Top of Metformin in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:

- The purpose of this study is to compare insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio
combination versus insulin glargine on glycemic control over 24 weeks, as evaluated by
HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) reduction in type 2 diabetic patients treated with
metformin

Secondary Objectives:

- To compare insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination versus insulin
glargine over 24 weeks on:

- Glycemic control in relation to a meal as evaluated by post-prandial plasma
glucose and glucose excursions during a standardized meal test

- Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7% or ≤6.5%

- 7-point Self-Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) profile

- Body weight

- Insulin glargine dose

- Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

- Percentage of patients requiring rescue therapy during the 24-week open label
treatment period

- To assess safety and tolerability of insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio
combination.

Study Arm (s)
  • Experimental: Insulin glargine /lixisenatide fixed ratio combination
    The insulin glargine /lixisenatide fixed ratio combination is self-administered once daily in the morning within one hour before breakfast. Treatment will be initiated and individually adjusted weekly according to fasting self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) (target fasting SMPG between 80 and 100 mg/dl (4.4 and 5.6 mmol/l).
    Subjects should continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin.
  • Active Comparator: Insulin glargine
    Insulin glargine is self-administered once daily in the morning within one hour before breakfast. Treatment will be initiated and individually adjusted weekly according to fasting self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) (target fasting SMPG between 80 and 100 mg/dl (4.4 and 5.6 mmol/l).
    Subjects should continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin.
