Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: To compare insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination versus insulin glargine over 24 weeks on: - Glycemic control in relation to a meal as evaluated by post-prandial plasma glucose and lucose excursions during a standardized meal test - Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7% or =6.5% - 7-point Self-Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) profile - Body weight - Insulin glargine dose - Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) - Percentage of patients requiring rescue therapy during the 24-week open label treatment period - To assess safety and tolerability of insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio combination.;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: from baseline to week 24;Main Objective: To compare insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio combination versus insulin glargine on glycemic control over 24 weeks, as evaluated by HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) reduction in type 2 diabetic patients treated with metformin

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change in post-prandial glucose during meal test - Change in blood excursion during meal test - Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c =6.5 % or <7 % - Change in 7-point SMPG profiles - Change in body weight - Insulin glargine dose - Change in FPG - Percentage of patients requiring rescue therapy during the 24-week openlabel treatment period;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Change in post-prandial glucose during meal test, Change in blood excursion during meal test, Change in 7-point SMPG profiles, Change in body weight, Change in FPG : from baseline to week 24 - Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c =6.5 % or <7 %, Insulin glargine dose : at week 24 - Percentage of patients requiring rescue therapy during the 24-week openlabel treatment period : over the 24-week treatment period
