Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To investigate the effects of repeated subcutaneous doses of lixisenatide 20 µg (once daily) QD as compared to liraglutide 1.2 mg QD or 1.8 mg QD in reducing post-prandial plasma glucose (PPG) assessed as area under the plasma glucoseconcentration- time curve (AUC) after a standardized breakfast at the end of a 8- week treatment period in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) not adequately controlled with insulin glargine (± metformin);Secondary Objective: •To assess the effects of lixisenatide 20 µg QD as compared to liraglutide 1.2 QD or 1.8 mg QD after a 8-week treatment period in patients with T2DM not adequately controlled with insulin glargine (± metformin) on: -Post-prandial C-peptide, glucagon and appetite perceptions after a standardized breakfast -Appetite perceptions after standardized dinner -Gastric emptying after a standardized labelled test meal -Fasting plasma glucose, 24-hour plasma glucose profile -HbA1c -Insulin glargine dose -7-point self monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) -Body weight and waist circumference -24-hour heart rate and blood pressure • To assess lixisenatide and liraglutide safety and tolerability as add on treatment to insulin glargine (± metformin);Primary end point(s): Change from baseline for area under the plasma glucose concentration time profile from time of standardized breakfast start (30 minutes after IMP injection =T0.5) until 4 hours later (T4.5) subtracting the pre-meal plasma glucose value;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: up to 4h30 after study drug injection on Day-3 and Day 56 (10 timepoints)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Change from baseline for AUC 0:30-5:30h: area under the glucagon concentration-time curve, from time of standardized breakfast start (30 min after IMP injection=T0.5) until 5 hours later (T5.5) subtracting the pre-meal values Change from baseline for AUC 0:30-5:30h: area under C-peptide concentration time curve, from time of standardized breakfast start (30 min after IMP injection=T0.5) until 5 hours later (T5.5) subtracting the pre-meal values From breath test analysis, change from baseline to Day 55 for gastric emptying coefficient (GEC) Number of patients with 2-hour post-prandial plasma glucose level <140 mg/dL;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: up to 5h30 after study drug injection on Day-3 and Day 56 (11 timepoints) Day-4 and Day 55 (15 samples per evaluation day) Day-3 and Day 56
