About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 2-arm Parallel-group, Multicenter 24-week Study Followed by an Extension Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of AVE0010 on Top of a Sulfonylurea in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Not Adequately Controlled With Sulfonylurea

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 sulfonylurea without or with 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 sulfonylurea with or without metformin on glycemic control in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (absolute change) at Week 24.

The secondary objectives are to assess the effects of lixisenatide on percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than (<) 7 percent (%); percentage of patients reaching HbA1c less than or equal to (<=) 6.5%; body weight; fasting plasma glucose (FPG); beta-cell function assessed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) beta; 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), glucagon, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide after a standardized meal challenge test in a sub-study in all patients in selected centers; to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

Read the detailed description

Patients who complete the 24-week main double-blind treatment would undergo a variable double-blind extension treatment, which ends for all patients at approximately the scheduled date of Week 76 visit (Visit 25) for the last randomized patient.

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 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 Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population, both baseline and at least 1 post baseline assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable, were required.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) at Week 24

    The 2-hour PPG blood sample was drawn 2 hours after start of a standardized meal (standardized meal challenge test performed in selected sites). Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to last dosing day 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

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

    Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to 1 day 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  3. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 24

    Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  4. Change From Baseline in Beta-cell Function Assessed by HOMA-beta at Week 24

    Beta cell function was assessed by HOMA-beta. HOMA-beta blood samples were drawn during a standardized meal challenge test (performed in selected sites). HOMA-beta (% of normal beta cells function) = (20 multiplied by fasting plasma insulin [micro unit per milliliter]) divided by (FPG [mmol/L] minus 3.5). Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to last dosing day 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  5. Change From Baseline in Fasting Glucagon and 2-hour Postprandial Glucagon at Week 24

    The fasting glucagon and the 2-hour postprandial glucagon blood samples were drawn during a standardized meal challenge test (performed in selected sites). Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to last dosing day 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  6. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Insulin (FPI) and 2-hour Postprandial Plasma Insulin at Week 24

    The fasting plasma insulin and the 2-hour postprandial plasma insulin blood samples were drawn during a standardized meal challenge test (performed in selected sites). Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to last dosing day 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  7. Change From Baseline in Fasting Proinsulin and 2-hour Postprandial Proinsulin at Week 24

    The fasting Proinsulin and the 2-hour postprandial Proinsulin blood samples were drawn during a standardized meal challenge test (performed in selected sites). Change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is time from the first dose of study drug and up to last dosing day 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.

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 31 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 14 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 16 sites in United States, Bulgaria, Czechia, Egypt, Germany and 11 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.

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 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 24 (time frame: Baseline, Week 24). 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 NCT00713830, which also lists 4 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?
