About

Primary Objective:

To compare LixiLan to insulin glargine in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from baseline to Week 26 in patients with type 2 Diabetes.

Secondary Objective:

To compare the overall efficacy and safety of LixiLan to insulin glargine (with or without OADs) over a 26 Week treatment period in patients with type 2 Diabetes.

Full description

The maximum study duration per patient will be approximately 29 weeks: an up to 2-week screening period, a 26-week randomized open-label treatment period and a 3-day post-treatment safety follow up period.

Enrollment: 521 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria:

• At the screening visit: Age <20 years.

• Pregnancy or lactation, women of childbearing potential with no effective contraceptive method.
• Use of oral or injectable glucose-lowering agents other than those stated during the inclusion criteria in the 3 months before the screening visit.
• Previous treatment with insulin (except for short-term treatment due to intercurrent illness including gestational diabetes at the discretion of the trial physician).
• Laboratory findings at the time of screening:
• Amylase and/or lipase: >3 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN) laboratory range,
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST): >3 ULN,
• Calcitonin ≥20 pg/mL (5.9 pmol/L),
• Positive serum pregnancy test in female of childbearing potential.
• Contraindication to use of lixisenatide according to the local labeling. History of hypersensitivity to any Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists or to metacresol.
• Contraindication to use of insulin glargine according to local labeling. History of hypersensitivity to insulin glargine or to any of the excipients.
• Patient who has a severe renal function impairment with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m^2 or end-stage renal disease for patient not treated with metformin.
• Personal or immediate family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or genetic condition that predisposes to MTC (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
• History of pancreatitis (unless pancreatitis was related to gallstones and cholecystectomy has been performed), pancreatitis during previous treatment with incretin therapies, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery.

521 participants in 2 patient groups

LixiLan

Experimental group

Description:

LixiLan (insulin glargine/lixisenatide) is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily. Dose is individually adjusted. Background therapy with OADs (except dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor) should be continued during the treatment period.

Treatment:

Drug: Insulin glargine/lixisenatide (HOE901/AVE0010)

Drug: Oral anti-diabetic drugs

insulin glargine

Active Comparator group

Description:

Insulin glargine (HOE901) is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily. Dose is individually adjusted. Background therapy with OADs (except dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor) should be continued during the treatment period.

Treatment:

Drug: Insulin glargine (HOE901)

Drug: Oral anti-diabetic drugs
