Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of LY2189265 in comparison to Insulin Glargine, both in combination with Insulin Lispro (plus or minus Metformin), in participants with Type 2 Diabetes treated with 1 or 2 injections of insulin.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Drug: Insulin Glargine Drug: LY2189265 Drug: Insulin Lispro Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The term rescue therapy in this trial was defined as therapy for participants who met criteria for persistent severe hyperglycemia and therapy for participants who required new intervention for any other reason. The latter included participants who discontinued study drug due to adverse events, participant decision, or any other reason. For efficacy analyses, participants who received rescue medication were included in the analysis population, but only measurements obtained prior to taking rescue therapy were included in the efficacy analysis. For safety analyses, with the exception of hypoglycemia, all measurements including those obtained after taking rescue therapy were included in the analysis.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline to 26-week Endpoint in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks ]
    Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted by treatment, country, baseline metformin, and baseline HbA1c.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline to 52-week Endpoint in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 52 weeks ]
    Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted by treatment, country, baseline metformin, and baseline HbA1c.

  2. Percentage of Participants Attaining Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Less Than 7% and Less Than or Equal to 6.5% at Weeks 26 and 52 [ Time Frame: 26 weeks and 52 weeks ]
    The percentage of participants achieving HbA1c level less than 7.0% and less than or equal to 6.5% was analyzed with a repeated logistic regression model (generalized estimating equation model) with baseline HbA1c, baseline metformin, country, and treatment as factors included in the model.

  3. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in the Percentage of Participants Achieving Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Less Than 7% Without Nocturnal or Severe Hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    The percentage of participants achieving HbA1c less than 7.0% without nocturnal (defined as any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking) or severe (episodes requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer resuscitative actions) hypoglycemia was analyzed with a repeated logistic regression model (generalized estimating equation model) with baseline HbA1c, baseline metformin, country, and treatment as factors included in the model.

  4. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in Blood Glucose Values From the 8-point Self-monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) Profiles [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    The self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) data were collected at the following 8 time points: pre-morning meal; 2 hours post-morning meal; pre-midday meal; 2 hours post-midday meal; pre-evening meal; 2 hours post-evening meal; bedtime; and 3AM or 5 hours after bedtime. The mean of the 8 time points (Daily Mean) was also calculated. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, metformin, country, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline as a covariate.

  5. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in Fasting Serum Glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    Fasting serum glucose was measured by the central laboratory. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, country, visit, metformin use, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline fasting blood glucose as a covariate.

  6. Total Daily Insulin Dose Overall and by Components (Insulin Lispro and Insulin Glargine) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 26 weeks and 52 weeks ]
    Total daily insulin (TDI) dose was reported at baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks. Daily Insulin Lispro and Insulin Glargine doses were reported at 26 and 52 weeks.

  7. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country, treatment, and metformin use as fixed effects and baseline body weight as a covariate.

  9. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks, 52 Weeks, and 4 Weeks After Last Dose in Body Mass Index (BMI) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    Body mass index is an estimate of body fat based on body weight divided by height squared. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, country, visit, metformin use, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline BMI as a covariate.

  10. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in the EQ-5D [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    The EQ-5D questionnaire is a generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. It consists of 2 parts: the first part assesses 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) that have 3 possible levels of response (no problem, some problem, or extreme problem). These dimensions are converted into a weighted health-state Index Score. The EQ-5D United Kingdom (UK) score ranges from -0.59 to 1.0, where a score of 1.0 indicates perfect health and negative values are valued as worse than dead. The second part consists of a visual analog scale (VAS) on which the participants rated their perceived health state on that day from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health). Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted by treatment, country, metformin use, and baseline.

  11. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in the Impact of Weight on Activities of Daily Living (IW-ADL) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    The Impact of Weight on Activities of Daily Living questionnaire (renamed the Ability to Perform Physical Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire [APPADL]) contains 7 items that assess how difficult it is for participants to engage in certain activities considered to be integral to normal daily life, such as walking, standing and climbing stairs. Items are scored on a 5-point numeric rating scale where 5 = "not at all difficult" and 1 = "unable to do". The individual scores from all 7 items are summed and a single total score is calculated and may range between 7 and 35. A higher score indicates better ability to perform activities of daily living. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country, treatment, and metformin use as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.

  12. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in the Impact of Weight on Self-Perception (IW-SP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    The Impact of Weight on Self-Perception (IW-SP) questionnaire contains 3 items that assess how often the participants' body weight affects how happy they are with their appearance and how often they feel self-conscious when out in public. Items are scored on a 5-point numeric rating scale where 5 = never and 1 = always. A single total score is calculated by summing the scores for all 3 items. Total score ranges between 3 and 15, where a higher score is indicative of better self-perception. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country, treatment, and metformin use as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.

  13. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in the Low Blood Sugar Survey (LBSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    The Low Blood Sugar Survey (LBSS) contains 33 items comprised of 2 subscales (behavior and worry), each of which is rated on a 5-point numeric rating scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). It captures behavioral changes associated with the concerns and experiences of hypoglycemia and the degree to which participants are worried about certain aspects associated with hypoglycemia during the previous 4 weeks. The behavior (or avoidance) subscale has 15 items, and the worry (or affect) subscale has 18 items. Subscale scores are calculated by summing participant responses to items (behavior range 0-60; worry range 0-72). A total score is calculated as the sum of both subscales (range 0-132). Higher scores indicate greater negative impact on subscales and total score. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country, treatment and metformin use as fixed effects and baseline score as a covariate.

  14. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in Pancreatic Enzymes [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]

    The QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave and was calculated from electrocardiogram (ECG) data using Fridericia's formula: QTc = QT/RR^0.33. Corrected QT (QTc) is the QT interval corrected for heart rate and RR, which is the interval between two R waves. PR is the interval between the P wave and the QRS complex. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, country, visit, metformin use, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline value as a covariate.

  23. Change From Baseline to 26 and 52 Weeks in Electrocardiogram Parameters, Heart Rate [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks ]
    Electrocardiogram (ECG) heart rate was measured. Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, country, visit, metformin use, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline value as a covariate.
