A clinical trial in patients with type II diabetes with increased risk of cardiovascular events (incidents that may cause damage to the heart muscle), to study how well a person’s diabetes is controlled over a 2-3 month period with bexagliflozin, by measuring blood sugar levels using a HbA1c test, and to determine safety by assessing occurrence of cardiovascular events.

A double blind placebo controlled study to evaluate the effects of bexagliflozin on hemoglobin A1c in patients with type 2 diabetes and increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events

Group 3: Age = 55 years with 2 or more of the following: a) diabetes duration of = 10 years, b) uncontrolled hypertension defined as SBP > 140 mmHg despite 3 or more anti-hypertensive medications c) current smoking, d) urine albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) > 30 mg/g, e) eGFR of 45 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, or f) HDL < 1 mmol/L (38 mg/dL) 7. Female subjects of childbearing potential who are willing to use an adequate method of contraception and to not become pregnant for the duration of the study. Adequate contraceptive measures include, but are not limited to, oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, Depo-Provera, Norplant, hormonal contraceptive implants, bilateral tubal ligation, partner with vasectomy, condom or diaphragm plus contraceptive sponge, foam, or jelly, and abstinence 8. Subjects who are willing and able to return for all clinic visits and to complete all study required procedures, including self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) measurement, and take run-in medication, missing no more than one dose due to non-compliance. 9. Subjects who receive anti-hypertensive medications at a stable dosage for = 2 weeks prior to randomization 10. Subjects wh

Frequent symptomatic hypoglycemia (greater than one episode per week on average) 4. Genitourinary tract infection within 6 weeks of screening or history of = 3 genitourinary infections requiring treatment within the last 6 months 5. Cancer, active or in remission for 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) with the exception of isolated Gilbert’s syndrome); or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.5 x ULN 8.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The Primary endpoint will be determined at baseline and at 24 weeks with supportive additional data for the model provided at 6 and 12 weeks.; Main Objective: The primary efficacy objective of this trial is to evaluate the placebo-adjusted change in HbA1c from baseline after 24 weeks of exposure to bexagliflozin in type 2 diabetic subjects with increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events. The primary safety objective of this study is the contribution of at least 134 major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE+) to an eventual meta-analysis that is intended to exclude a hazard ratio of 1.8 or greater for subjects exposed to bexagliflozin compared to subjects exposed to placebo. MACE+ is defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina. An additional objective is the evaluation of the safety of exposure to bexagliflozin for a minimum of 52 weeks in a treatment population that is at elevated risk for major adverse cardiovascular events. ; Secondary Objective: Efficacy objectives: • To evaluate the effect of bexagliflozin compared to placebo on the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24 in randomized subjects who have been prescribed insulin to control their diabetes • To evaluate the effect of bexagliflozin on the change in body weight from baseline to week 48 in randomized subjects with a BMI = 25 kg/m2 compared to placebo • To evaluate the effect of bexagliflozin on the change in systolic blood pressure from baseline to week 24 in subjects with baseline systolic blood pressure = 140 mmHg compared to placebo • To assess the effect of bexagliflozin treatment on the change in HbA1c versus placebo over time • To evaluate the effect of bexagliflozin treatment on the chan

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The key secondary efficacy endpoints include: •Change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24 in randomized subjects who have been prescribed insulin to control their diabetes • Change in body weight from baseline to week 48 in subjects with a BMI = 25 kg/m2 • Change in SBP from baseline to week 24 in subjects with baseline systolic blood pressure = 140 mmHg The exploratory secondary efficacy endpoints include: • Change from baseline in HbA1c over time • Change from baseline in FPG over time • Change from baseline in body weight over time • Change from baseline in SBP over time • Requirement of additional anti-diabetic medications, including insulin; and time to first use of additional anti-diabetic medication • Requirement of reduced anti-diabetic medications, including insulin dose over time • Hospitalization for heart failure in all subjects and in subjects with a history of heart failure • Time to hospitalization for heart failure in subjects in all subjects and in subjects with a history of heart failure The safety endpoints include: • Time to a 5-point composite adjudicated endpoint of CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization • Time-to a 6-point composite adjudicated endpoint of CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, and coronary revascularization; and time to onset of event • Time to individual events including all-cause mortality, CV death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, transient ischemic attack, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, and coronary revascularization; and time to onset
