Insulin Glargine in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Sanofi-Aventis
Information provided by:	Sanofi-Aventis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00311818

Purpose

Primary objective:

To compare efficacy of oral antidiabetics (OAD) combination therapy with either HOE901 insulin analogue once daily or Lispro insulin analogue at mealtime in terms of change in HbA1c (baseline to endpoint).

Secondary objectives:

To compare the OAD combination therapy with either HOE901 insulin analogue once daily or Lispro insulin analogue at mealtime in terms of efficacy and safety.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus	Drug: Insulin glargine	Phase IV

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	44-week, Parallel, Open, Randomized, Multinational, Multi-center Clinical Trial to Compare Efficacy and Safety of the Combination Therapy of an Oral Anti-diabetic Drug Treatment With Either HOE901 Insulin Once Daily or Lispro Insulin Analogue at Mealtime in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Poorly Controlled With Oral Anti-diabetic Drug Treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Frequency of subjects with HbA1c: ≤ 6.5 %, 6.5 %< HbA1c ≤ 7.0 %, 7.0 %<HbA1c ≤ 8.0 % and HbA1c > 8.0 % [ Time Frame: at endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change in fasting blood glucose, (FBG) [ Time Frame: baseline to endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Frequency of subjects with: FBG ≤ 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/l), 100 mg/dl < FBG ≤ 126 mg/dl(7.0 mmol/l) and FBG > 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) [ Time Frame: at endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in nocturnal blood glucose [ Time Frame: baseline to endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in fasting plasma glucose [ Time Frame: baseline to endpoint and all visits ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in mean daytime blood glucose [ Time Frame: baseline to endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in mean daily blood glucose [ Time Frame: baseline to endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in blood glucose at the remaining time points of the 8-point-blood glucose profiles [ Time Frame: baseline to endpoint ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Frequency of subjects with hypoglycemic events (overall, severe, nocturnal, symptomatic) [ Time Frame: from the inform consent signature to the end of the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Start Date:	June 2003
Primary Completion Date:	May 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 75 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus for at least 1 year (no history of ketoacidosis) and treatment with oral antidiabetics (OAD) for at least 6 months prior to study entry
Subjects poorly controlled with previous OAD treatment: any mono or combination therapy approved in combination with insulin according to local SPCs (summary of product characteristics), not including use of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, at a stable dose for least 3 month prior to study entry
Poor metabolic control with HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) values between 7.5 % and 10.5 % and FBG > or = 120 mg/dl (6.6 mmol/l)
Body mass index < or = 35 kg/m2
Ability and willingness of a tight antidiabetic therapy under a stable life-style with regular meals and to perform blood glucose self monitoring and especially blood glucose profiles using a blood glucose meter at home, as evidence by daily FBG measurements and a complete 8-point blood glucose profile obtained over a 24-hour period

Exclusion Criteria:

Treatment with any insulin in the last 4 weeks prior to study entry
Diabetes mellitus following pancreatectomy
GAD positive (glutamic acid decarboxylase)
Diabetic retinopathy with surgical treatment (laser photocoagulation or vitrectomy) in the 3 months prior to study entry or which may require surgical treatment within 3 months of study entry
Pregnant or breast-feeding
Women of childbearing potential who did not take adequate contraceptive protection such as systemic hormones (birth control pills, implant), intrauterine device, or a barrier method (diaphragm with intravaginal spermicidal, cervical cap, male or female condom)
History of hypersensitivity to the study medication or to drugs with similar chemical structures
Treatment with any investigational drug in the last 3 months before study entry
Previous enrollment in a study involving HOE901 insulin analogue
Likelihood of requiring treatment during the study period with drugs not permitted by the study protocol (e.g. non-cardio selective beta-blockers, systemic corticosteroids)
Clinically relevant cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine, hematological or other major systemic disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult
History of drug or alcohol abuse
Impaired hepatic function, as shown by, but not limited to,alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) above 3x the upper limit of normal, if no lower values are required by the individually administered OAD
Impaired renal function, as shown by, but not limited to, serum creatinine > 177 mmol/l (> 2 mg/dl), if no lower values are required by the individually administered OAD
