History of Changes
  Purpose

Primary Objective:

- To compare the two treatment regimens in terms of change of HbA1c from baseline to endpoint (week 24)

Secondary Objective:

  • To assess the effect of the 2 lixisenatide regimens on:

    • The percentage of patients who reached the target of HbA1c < 7% or ≤ 6.5% at week 24
    • Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
    • 7-point Self-Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) profiles
    • Body weight
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of the 2 lixisenatide regimens

Official Title: A 24-week, Open-label, Randomized, 2-arm Parallel Group, Multinational, Multi-center Clinical Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Lixisenatide Injected Prior to the Main Meal of the Day Versus Lixisenatide Injected Prior to Breakfast in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Not Adequately Controlled on Metformin
