Trial Outcomes & Findings for 24-week Treatment With Lixisenatide in Type 2 Diabetes Insufficiently Controlled With Metformin and Insulin Glargine (NCT NCT00975286)

NCT ID: NCT00975286

Last Updated: 2016-10-11

Results Overview

Absolute change = HbA1c value at Week 24 minus HbA1c value at baseline. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug or up to the introduction of rescue therapy, whichever is the earliest. For a patient to be included in mITT population, both baseline and at least 1 post baseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable, were required.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 140 centers in 25 countries between October 13, 2009 and August 01, 2011.

A total of 1470 patients were screened of which 1024 were screen or run-in failures; main reason for screen failure was glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values being out of the defined protocol range (greater than or equal to 7% and less than or equal to 9%). A total of 446 patients were randomized.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 24

Population: mITT population:all randomized patients who received at least 1 dose;had baseline,at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment, irrespective of compliance with study protocol/procedures. Number of patients analyzed=patients with baseline and at least 1 post-baseline HbA1c assessment during on-treatment period. Last observation carried forward used.

Absolute change = HbA1c value at Week 24 minus HbA1c value at baseline. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug or up to the introduction of rescue therapy, whichever is the earliest. For a patient to be included in mITT population, both baseline and at least 1 post baseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable, were required.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 24

Population: mITT population. Here, number of patients analyzed = patients with baseline and at least 1 post-baseline 2-hour PPG assessment during on-treatment period. Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

The 2-hour PPG test measured blood glucose 2 hours after eating a standardized meal. Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to the last dosing day of study drug or up to the introduction of rescue therapy, whichever is the earliest. For a patient to be included in mITT population, both baseline and at least 1 post baseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable, were required.

Threshold values - from baseline to Week 8: fasting SMPG/FPG \>200 milligram/deciliter (mg/dL) (11.1 mmol/L) or HbA1c \>9%, from Week 8 to Week 24: fasting SMPG/FPG \>180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L) or HbA1c \>8.5%.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 24

Population: mITT population. Here, number of patients analyzed = patients with baseline and at least 1 post-baseline DTSQ assessment during on-treatment period. Missing data was imputed using LOCF.

Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. DTSQ: 8-item questionnaire to assess treatment satisfaction and patient perception of hyper and hypoglycemia. Each question (Q) scored on a Likert scale from 0 to 6. Six items (Q1 and 4-8; higher score = more satisfaction) measured treatment satisfaction and were summed to calculate treatment satisfaction score which ranged from 0 (very dissatisfied) to 36 (very satisfied). Two items (Q2 and 3), which were not included, measured perceived hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, respectively and lower scores represented good perceived blood glucose control. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to 3 days after the last dose of study drug or up to the introduction of rescue therapy, whichever is the earliest. For a patient to be included in mITT population, both baseline and at least 1 post baseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable, were required.

Timeframe: First dose of study drug up to 3 days after the last dose administration

Population: Safety population included all randomized patients who were exposed to at least 1 dose of study drug, regardless of the amount of treatment administered.

Symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event with clinical symptoms that were considered to result from a hypoglycemic episode with an accompanying plasma glucose less than 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or associated with prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration if no plasma glucose measurement was available. Severe symptomatic hypoglycemia was symptomatic hypoglycemia event in which the patient required the assistance of another person and was associated with either a plasma glucose level below 36 mg/dL (2.0 mmol/L) or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration, if no plasma glucose measurement was available.
