Brief summary

Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess the dose-response relationship of SAR425899 versus placebo in terms of glycemic control as measured by the change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Secondary Objectives: * To assess the effect of SAR425899 on body weight. * To assess the safety and immunogenicity profile of SAR425899, including assessment of the heart rate (HR) change by electrocardiogram (ECG) and Holter monitor. * To assess the proportion of participants achieving predefined HbA1c targets of \<7% and \<6.5% as well as the proportion of participants achieving \>=5% and \>=10% body weight loss. * To assess the effect of once daily dosing of SAR425899 on additional parameters of glycemic control and lipid metabolism. * To assess the effect of once daily dosing of SAR425899 on additional pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers. * To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and parameters of SAR425899, inter-individual and inter-occasion variability in PK parameters using a population PK approach.

Change From Baseline in Average 7 Point Self-Monitoring Plasma Glucose (SMPG) to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Change in 7-point SMPG profile from baseline to Week 26 was assessed by summary statistics. 7-point SMPG profiles were measured at the following 7 points at each visit (Baseline, and Week 26): pre-prandial and 2 hours postprandial for breakfast, lunch, dinner and at bedtime. Two hours postprandial (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is defined as 2 hours after the start of the meal.
Mean Change From Baseline in Body Weight to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Change in body weight was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Missing post- baseline values were imputed by placebo control-based MI method under the missing not at random framework.
Change From Baseline in Beta-Cell Function to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Beta-cell function was assessed by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)-beta, derived from FPG and fasting plasma insulin (FPI). HOMA-beta was derived from FPG and FPI as (20\*FPI \[micro units/milliliter\]) divided by (FPG \[mmol/L\] minus 3.5). Change was calculated for HOMA-beta by subtracting the Baseline value from Week 26 value\*100.
Change From Baseline in Insulin Resistance to Week 26Baseline, Week 26Insulin Resistance was assessed by homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), derived from FPG and FPI. HOMA-IR was derived from FPG and FPI as (FPI \[micro units per milliliter\] \* FPG \[mmol/L\]) divided by 22.5. Change was calculated for HOMA-beta by subtracting the Baseline value from Week 26 value.
Change From Baseline in Pharmacodynamic Biomarkers to Week 26 - Waist and Hip CircumferencesBaseline,Week 26Waist circumference was measured at the midpoint between the lower margin of the least palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest, using a stretch-resistant tape providing a constant 100 gm tension. Hip circumference was measured around the widest portion of the buttocks, with the tape parallel to the floor. Each measurement was repeated twice; if the measurements were within 1 cm of one another, the average was calculated, and if the difference exceeded 1 cm, the measurements were repeated.
Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue TherapyBaseline up to 26 weeksRescue medication was introduced in case FPG or HbA1c values were above pre-defined thresholds, and if no reasons were found for insufficient glucose control, and appropriate action failed to decrease FPG / HbA1c under the threshold values (from baseline to Week 8: FPG \>270 mg/dL 15.0 mmol/L, from Week 8 to Week 14: FPG \>13.3 mmol/L, and from Week 14 to Week 26: FPG \>11.1 mmol/L or HbA1c\>8%). The choice of rescue therapy was at the Investigator's discretion with the exception of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 59 centers in 8 countries. A total of 539 participants were screened between 2 December 2016 and 2 June 2017, of whom, 245 participants were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to exclusion criteria met. The study was double-blind for SAR425899 vs placebo and open-label for active comparator liraglutide.

Pre-assignment details

Total of 294 participants were randomized using interactive response technology, however 2 participants were screened failures and were randomized by error in liraglutide and SAR425899 0.20 mg groups, therefore a total of 296 participants were randomized and treated in study. Randomization was stratified by glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) at screening visit(\<8% vs \>=8%) and body mass index (BMI)(\<35.0 kg/m\^2 vs \>=35.0kg/m\^2) at Day 1(start of investigational medicinal product\[IMP\]administration).

Change From Baseline in Average 7 Point Self-Monitoring Plasma Glucose (SMPG) to Week 26

Change in 7-point SMPG profile from baseline to Week 26 was assessed by summary statistics. 7-point SMPG profiles were measured at the following 7 points at each visit (Baseline, and Week 26): pre-prandial and 2 hours postprandial for breakfast, lunch, dinner and at bedtime. Two hours postprandial (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is defined as 2 hours after the start of the meal.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 26

Population: Analysis was performed on ITT population. Overall number of participants analyzed = participants with at least 1 baseline and 1 post-baseline SMPG assessment during 26 week treatment period.

Percentage of Participants Reached HbA1c Target of <6.5% or <7% at Week 26

The analysis included assessment collected during the study, including those obtained after IMP discontinuation or introduction of rescue therapy. Participants with no measurement at Week 26 were treated as non-responders.

Time frame: Week 26

Population: Analysis was performed on ITT population.

Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue Therapy

Rescue medication was introduced in case FPG or HbA1c values were above pre-defined thresholds, and if no reasons were found for insufficient glucose control, and appropriate action failed to decrease FPG / HbA1c under the threshold values (from baseline to Week 8: FPG \>270 mg/dL 15.0 mmol/L, from Week 8 to Week 14: FPG \>13.3 mmol/L, and from Week 14 to Week 26: FPG \>11.1 mmol/L or HbA1c\>8%). The choice of rescue therapy was at the Investigator's discretion with the exception of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors.

Time frame: Baseline up to 26 weeks

Population: Analysis was performed on ITT population.
