NCT02072096

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to compare the benefits and risks associated with the use of 2 treatment strategies to lower blood sugar in participants aged 65 and older with T2DM. One strategy is based on the use of oral and injectable medications that only reduce blood sugar (glucose) when it is high. The other strategy is based on non-glucose dependent agents. The trial will last up to 72 weeks for each participant.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Achieving and Maintaining Individualized Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Targets Without Clinically Significant Hypoglycemia

    Failed to reach and maintain HbA1c target, without clinically significant hypoglycemia, is defined as having 2 consecutive HbA1c \> upper limit of HbA1c target over 12 weeks starting from Week 24 for participants with HbA1c data beyond Week 24, or Week 24 HbA1c \> upper limit of HbA1c target for participants without HbA1c data beyond Week 24. Clinically significant hypoglycemia is defined as any severe hypoglycemia or repeated hypoglycemia interrupting participants activities or sleep and associated with blood glucose ≤3.9 millimole per liter (mmol/L), or repeated asymptomatic hypoglycemia associated with blood glucose \<3.0 mmol/L. Success is defined as lacking of failure.

    Baseline to last participant visit (up to 72 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Percentage of Participants Requiring Alternative Treatment Due to Glycemic Failure of First Line Injectable Therapy

    Baseline to last participant visit (up to 72 weeks)

  • Number of Participants With Total Hypoglycemia and Other Categories of Hypoglycemia

    Baseline to last participant visit (up to 72 weeks)

  • Change From Baseline of Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio

    Baseline, Week 72

  • Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Baseline, Week 72

  • Change From Baseline of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    Baseline, Week 72

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Change From Baseline in Adult Low Blood Sugar Survey (ALBSS) Score

    Baseline, Week 72

  • Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Score

    Baseline, Week 72

  • Change From Baseline in Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) Score

    Baseline, Week 72

Study Arms (2)

Strategy A (Glucose-Dependent)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants may receive oral and injectable (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists \[GLP-1 RA\]) therapies that exert a glucose-dependent mode of action. Medications allowed in this arm include: metformin, pioglitazone, acarbose, linagliptin, sitagliptin, liraglutide, exenatide once weekly (QW), and exenatide twice daily (BID). Choice of therapy is based on investigator's discretion. Treatment used in label. Treatment may last up to 72 weeks.

Strategy B (Reference)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive glimepiride and may receive basal insulin glargine as a first line injectable therapy. Medications allowed in this arm include: glimepiride, metformin, pioglitazone, acarbose, linagliptin, sitagliptin and basal insulin glargine. Choice of therapy is based on investigator's discretion. Treatment used in label. Insulin glargine is titrated according treatment algorithm. Treatment may last up to 72 weeks.
