About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Study of LY2189265 Compared to Insulin Glargine in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on a Sulfonylurea and/or Biguanide

The purpose of this trial is to examine the efficacy and safety of once-weekly LY2189265 (dulaglutide) in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus taking an oral antihyperglycemic medication (OAM).

Read the detailed description

Rescue therapy (defined as alternative antihyperglycemic medication use or dose modification of oral antihyperglycemic medication [OAM]) may have been initiated during the planned treatment period if the participant discontinued study drug or met prespecified thresholds for severe, persistent hyperglycemia. Efficacy data, as well as data for hypoglycemic episodes from participants who permanently discontinued study treatment but switched to another diabetes medication and remained in the study, were censored from the point of initiating new treatment onwards.

Being tested
LY2189265, Insulin glargine, Sulfonylureas (SU), Biguanide (BG)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 26 Weeks

    Least squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, oral antihyperglycemic medication regimen (sulfonylureas only, biguanides only, or both), and baseline body mass index (BMI) group (<25 or >=25 kilograms per meter squared [kg/m^2]) as fixed effects, baseline HbA1c as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) <=6.5% or <7% at 26 Weeks

    The percentage of participants achieving HbA1c level less than 7.0% and less than or equal to 6.5% was analyzed with a longitudinal logistic regression model with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, oral antihyperglycemic medication regimen (sulfonylureas only, biguanides only, or both), and baseline body mass index (BMI) group (<25 or >=25 kilograms per meter squared [kg/m^2]) as fixed effects, baseline HbA1c as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Up to 26 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) at 26 Weeks

    Least squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, oral antihyperglycemic medication regimen (sulfonylureas only, biguanides only, or both), and baseline body mass index (BMI) group (<25 or >=25 kilograms per meter squared [kg/m^2]) as fixed effects, baseline FBG as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in 8-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) at 26 Weeks

    Participants were to test and record SMBG concentrations in their study diaries before each meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), approximately 2 hours after the start of each meal, at bedtime, and before breakfast the next morning (second pre-morning meal). Least squares (LS) means were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, oral antihyperglycemic medication regimen (sulfonylureas only, biguanides only, or both), and baseline body mass index (BMI) group (<25 or >=25 kilograms per meter squared [kg/m^2]) as fixed effects and baseline SMBG as a covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to 26 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at 26 Weeks

    Least squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, oral antihyperglycemic medication regimen (sulfonylureas only, biguanides only, or both), and baseline body mass index (BMI) group (<25 or >=25 kilograms per meter squared [kg/m^2]) as fixed effects, baseline body weight as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

  5. Percentage of Participants With Hypoglycemic Episodes

    The percentage of participants with hypoglycemic episodes was calculated by dividing the number of participants with at least one hypoglycemic episode over the 26-week treatment period by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100%. All classifications of hypoglycemia (documented symptomatic, asymptomatic, severe, nocturnal, non-nocturnal, probable symptomatic, relative, and unspecified) were included, except for episodes of relative hypoglycemia that were not severe. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing LY2189265, Insulin glargine and Sulfonylureas (SU) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 15 sites in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 20 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Japan. 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. 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 20 Oct 2014). 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?

Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 26 Weeks (time frame: Baseline, 26 weeks). 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 NCT01584232, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Oct 2014.
