Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief summary

Primary Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of SAR342434 versus Humalog in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) change from baseline to Week 26 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) also using insulin glargine. Secondary Objectives: To assess the immunogenicity of SAR342434 and Humalog in terms of positive/negative status and antibody titers at baseline and during the course of the study; To assess the relationship of anti-insulin antibodies with efficacy and safety. To assess the efficacy of SAR342434 and Humalog on: proportion of participants reaching target HbA1c \<7.0% and \<=6.5%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles, and insulin dose. To assess safety of SAR342434 and Humalog.

Detailed description

The study will consist of a: up to 2 weeks screening period, 26-week treatment period, and 1-day follow-up period. The maximum study duration will then be 28 weeks per participant and a 1-day safety follow-up.

Interventions

SAR342434 100 U/mL (dose range of 1 Unit to 80 Units) self-administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection, immediately (within 5 -10 minutes) before meals intake. Dose adjusted to achieve 2 hour post prandial glucose (PPG) in range of 6.7 to 8.9 mmol/L (120 to 160 mg/dL) while avoiding hypoglycemia.

Humalog 100 U/ml (dose range of 1 unit to 60 units) self-administered by SC injection, immediately (within 5-10 minutes) before meals intake. Dose adjusted to achieve a 2 hour PPG in range of 6.7 to 8.9 mmol/L (120 to 160 mg/dL) while avoiding hypoglycemia.

Insulin glargine 100 U/mL injected QD subcutaneously consistent with the local label. Doses adjusted to achieve glycemic target for fasting, preprandial plasma glucose (SMPG) between 4.4 to 7.2 mmol/L (80 to 130 mg/dL) without hypoglycemia.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted least square means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data, using all post-baseline HbA1c data available during the 6-month period and adequate contrasts at Week 26.

Percentage of Participants With HbA1c <7.0% and <=6.5% at Week 26Week 26Participants who had no available assessment for HbA1c at Week 26 were considered as non-responders.
Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From Baseline to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Change in FPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted least squares means and standard errors were obtained from a MMRM approach to account for missing data, using all post-baseline FPG data available during the 6-month period and adequate contrasts at Week 26.
Change in Mean 24-Hour Plasma Glucose Concentration From Baseline to Week 26Baseline, Week 26The mean 24-hour plasma glucose concentration was calculated based on 7-point self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles with plasma glucose measurements before and 2-hours after each main meal and at bedtime. 7-point SMPGs were performed at least two times in a week before baseline, before visit Week 12 and before visit Week 26. Mean 24-hour plasma glucose concentration was calculated for each profile and then averaged across profiles performed in the week before a visit. Change in mean 24-hour plasma glucose concentration was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted least squares means and standard errors were obtained from a MMRM to account for missing data, using all post-baseline data available during 6-month period and adequate contrasts at Week 26.

Severe hypoglycemia was an event in which the participant required the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia was an event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia were accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration of \<=70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L). Hypoglycemic episodes with plasma glucose of 54 mg/dL (\<3.0 mmol/L) were also analyzed.

Participants with treatment-induced AIAs were participants who developed AIA following IMP administration (participants with at least one positive AIA sample at any time during on-treatment period, in those participants without pre-existing AIA or with missing baseline sample). Participants with treatment-boosted AIAs were participants with pre-existing AIAs that were boosted to a significant higher titer following IMP administration (participants with at least one AIA sample with at least a 4-fold increase in titers compared to baseline value at any time during on-treatment period, in those participants with pre-existing AIA).
Change in Post Prandial Glucose (PPG) Excursion From Baseline to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Plasma glucose excursions were calculated at breakfast, lunch and dinner for each 7-point SMPG profile, as 2-hour postprandial glucose (PPG) minus plasma glucose value obtained 30 minutes prior to start of the meal. Values of plasma glucose excursions at each visit were then calculated as average across the profiles performed in the week before the visit. Change in PPG excursions was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted least squares means and standard errors were obtained from a MMRM to account for missing data, using all post-baseline data available during the 6-month period and adequate contrasts at Week 26.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 103 centers in 12 countries. A total of 707 participants were screened between 14 January 2015 and 24 July 2015, of which 202 were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level \<6.5% or \>10% at screening visit.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 505 participants were randomized and treated in the study. Randomization was stratified by HbA1c at the screening visit (\<8%, \>=8%) and prior use of Humalog (Yes, No). Assignment to arms was done centrally using interactive voice/web response system in 1:1 ratio (SAR342434: Humalog).

Outcome results

Primary

Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 26

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Adjusted least square means and standard errors were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) to account for missing data, using all post-baseline HbA1c data available during the 6-month period and adequate contrasts at Week 26.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 26

Population: Analysis was performed on intent-to-treat (ITT) population that included all randomized participants, irrespective of compliance with the study protocol and procedures. Here, number of participants analyzed = participants with at least one post-baseline HbA1c assessment during the 6-month study period.

Comparison: Analysis was performed using a MMRM approach with treatment groups, randomization strata, visit (Week 12, Week 26) and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline HbA1c value and baseline HbA1c value-by-visit interaction as continuous fixed covariates. An unstructured correlation matrix was used to model within-participant errors.95% CI: [-0.215, 0.067]
