Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Intervention: Insulin glargine (Drug); 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension and 25 % insulin lispro injection (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Sanofi

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Medical Affairs, Study Director, Affiliation: Sanofi

Summary

Study Primary Objectives: To compare glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c (A1C), between insulin glargine and 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension/25% insulin lispro as add-on therapies in subjects who failed oral combination therapy with sulfonylurea and metformin. Study Secondary Objectives : To compare the following measures between subjects receiving insulin glargine or 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension/25% insulin lispro:

- Incidence of hypoglycemia

- Change in weight

- Change in serum lipid profile

- Percentage of subjects achieving A1C levels ≤7%

Clinical Details

Official title: Lantus® (Insulin Glargine[rDNA Origin] Injection) vs Humalog® Mix 75/25 (75% Insulin Lispro Protamine Suspension and 25% Insulin Lispro Injection) as add-on Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Failing Sulfonylurea and Glucophage (Metformin) Combination Treatment: a Randomized, Open, Parallel Study

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels at week 24

Secondary outcome:

Percentage of Patients Achieving Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values ≤ 7.0% at Week 24

Percentage of Patients Achieving Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values ≤ 8.0% at Week 24

Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FBG) values at week 24

Change from baseline in serum lipid values at week 24

Number and severity of hypoglycemic events and time of occurrence of hypoglycemic events

Detailed description: The planned duration of enrollment is 6 months. The study consists of 2 weeks screening phase and a study period that was planned to be 24 weeks.
