Efficacy and Safety of Lixisenatide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Insufficiently Controlled by Metformin (With or Without Sulfonylurea): a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study With 24-week Treatment Period
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Lixisenatide (AVE0010), Placebo, and 3 other interventions for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 391 participants across 35 sites in 4 countries.
Detailed 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 metformin with or without sulfonylurea, over a period of 24 weeks of treatment. The primary objective is to assess the effects on glycemic control of lixisenatide (AVE0010) in comparison to placebo as an add-on treatment to metformin with or without sulfonylurea in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 24. The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide over 24 weeks on percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than (\< ) 7 percent (%) or HbA1c less than or equal to (\<=) 6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and glucose excursion during standardized meal test, body weight; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

Interventions
Self administered by subcutaneous injections once daily within the hour preceding breakfast.
Self administered by subcutaneous injections once daily within the hour preceding breakfast.
Metformin to be continued at stable dose (at least 1.0 gram per day and not more than 1.5 gram per day) up to Week 24.
Sulfonylurea if given at screening, to be continued up to Week 24. In patients with a screening HbA1c \<8% the dose is decreased by 25% to 50% at randomization and then increased up to the screening dose between Week 4 and 12 as per fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) values. In patients with a screening HbA1c \>=8%, the dose is not to be changed at randomization. In any case, after Week 12, sulfonylurea is to be continued at a stable dose.
