NCT00715624

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without metformin over a period of 24 weeks of treatment, followed by an extension. The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide when added to basal insulin on body weight, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after standardized meal challenge test, percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than 7 percent (%), percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, change in basal insulin and total insulin doses; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Absolute Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 24

    Absolute change = HbA1c value at Week 24 minus HbA1c value at baseline. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to 3 days after the last dose of study drug, on or before Visit 12 (Week 24) or Day 169 if Visit 12 is not available, and before the introduction of rescue therapy. 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.

    Baseline, Week 24

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • Change From Baseline in Average 7-Point Self Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) Profiles at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • Change From Baseline in Total Insulin Dose at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Change From Baseline in Glucose Excursion at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • Percentage of Patients With at Least 5% Weight Loss From Baseline at Week 24

    Baseline, Week 24

  • Number of Patients With Symptomatic Hypoglycemia and Severe Symptomatic Hypoglycemia

    First dose of study drug up to 3 days after the last dose administration for up to 125 weeks
