About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Multicenter 12-week Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of AVE0010 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Not Treated With Antidiabetic Agents

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks of lixisenatide (AVE0010), in comparison to placebo, used in a 2-step dose titration regimen in monotherapy, over a period of 12 weeks of treatment.

The primary objective is to assess the effects of lixisenatide, in comparison to placebo, on glycemic control using a 2-step dose titration regimen in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 12.

Secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide, in comparison to placebo, on glycemic control in terms of HbA1c reduction when it is used in a one-step dose titration regimen over a period of 12 weeks, body weight, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) after a standardized meal, to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 4-arm, unbalanced design, parallel group study with a two-step titration regimen or a one-step titration regimen. The study is double-blind with regard to active and placebo treatments; however neither the study drug volume nor the titration regimens (that is, two-step or one-step) are blinded.

Being tested
Lixisenatide (AVE0010), Placebo, Pen auto-injector

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Absolute Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12

    Absolute change = HbA1c value at Week 12 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 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) at Week 12

    The 2-hour PPG test measured blood glucose 2 hours after eating a standardized meal (performed in selected sites). Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 12

    Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 value. 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 12

    Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 12 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to 1 day 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  4. Percentage of Patients With Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Level Less Than 7% at Week 12

    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.

    Measured: Week 12

  5. Percentage of Patients With Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Level Less Than or Equal to 6.5% at Week 12

    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.

    Measured: Week 12

  6. Percentage of Patients Requiring Rescue Therapy During the Double-Blind Treatment Period

    Routine fasting self monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) and central laboratory FPG values were used to determine the requirement of rescue medication. If fasting SMPG value exceeded the specified limit for 3 consecutive days, the central laboratory FPG was performed. Threshold values for fasting SMPG/FPG: from baseline to Week 8: >270 milligram/deciliter (mg/dL) (15 mmol/L) and from Week 8 to Week 12: >240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L). 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.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lixisenatide (AVE0010) and Pen auto-injector in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sanofi at 12 sites in 12 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Belgium, India, Israel, Japan and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Dec 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00688701, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2016.
