Clinical study to asses whether the treatment with the drug imeglimin in combination with the drug sitagliptin in treatment of adult-onset sugar diabetes is safe and more effective than treatment with sitagliptin alone. The treatments will be assigned randomly and neither the patients nor their doctor will know what treatment is given, as those who will receive sitagliptin alone, for masking purposes, will also be given placebo - dummy tablets that look just like imeglimin.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of the safety and efficacy of imeglimin or placebo add-on therapy in type 2 diabetic subjects not adequately controlled by sitagliptin monotherapy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the effect on glycemic efficacy using HbA1c as the primary evaluation criterion of 12-week treatment with imeglimin versus placebo add-on therapy in type 2 diabetic subjects inadequately controlled by sitagliptin monotherapy;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect on other glycemic and non glycemic parameters of 12-week treatment with imeglimin versus placebo add-on therapy in type 2 diabetic subjects inadequately controlled by sitagliptin monotherapy To assess the safety and tolerability of 12-week treatment with imeglimin versus placebo add-on therapy in type 2 diabetic subjects inadequately controlled by sitagliptin monotherapy To assess imeglimin pre-dose concentration in the plasma at visits V7, V8 and V9 and 4-hour post-dose concentration at Visit 8 ;Primary end point(s): The primary assessment of efficacy will be made based on the change in HbA1c between Visit 6 (Baseline) and Visit 9 (Week 12). HbA1c will be measured from fasting blood samples collected at these time points. This parameter will be assessed both using the ITT and the PP populations and by LOCF and observed cases. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline to week 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): HbA1c responder (Yes/No): defined as HbA1c = 7.0% at Week 12 - Change from baseline to Week 12 in fasting plasma glucose, insulin and c-peptide - Change from baseline to Week 12 in homeostasis model of insulin resistance and beta-cell function (HOMA-IR and HOMA-B) - Change from baseline to Week 12 in pro-insulin/insulin ratio - Change from baseline to Week 12 in total cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C - Change from baseline to Week 12 in triglycerides - Change from baseline to Week 12 in hsCRP, fibrinogen. - Percentage of subjects requiring rescue therapy any time between receiving first dose and Week 12. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: On V1, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, insulin and c-peptide, total cholesterol, triglycerides and hsCRP. On V3, V4 and V5: fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c. On V6 and V9: HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose and insulin, pro-insulin and c-peptide, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Apo B, hsCRP, fibrinogen. On V7: HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose and insulin, pro-insulin and c-peptide, triglycerides and hsCRP. On V8: HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose and insulin, pro-insulin and c-peptide, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and hsCRP. On V10: fasting plasma glucose, insulin and c-peptide, triglycerides, hsCRP
