About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Insulin Glargine and Exenatide: A Randomized Clinical Trial With Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Ambulatory Glucose Profile Analysis

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effect on 24-hour blood glucose patterns, HbA1c, and weight management when adding insulin glargine, or exenatide, or a combination of insulin glargine and exenatide to metformin.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to characterize the diurnal glucose patterns produced by insulin glargine alone, exenatide (GLP-1 agonist) alone and the combination of insulin glargine and exenatide in subjects taking stable dose of metformin and to evaluate their efficacy in terms of improvement in glucose exposure, variability, stability, incidence of hypoglycemia and weight management.

An ancillary study was approved as part of this study. The purpose of the ancillary study was to use CGM to characterize the glycemic response to a fixed breakfast meal consumed by study participants receiving different medications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. HbA1c Change

    Measure the changes in HbA1C attributable to exenatide, insulin glargine and their combination.

    Employ CGM with AGP analysis to determine if there is an incremental benefit for subjects who do not reach target to add exenatide to insulin glargine or insulin glargine to exenatide in patients taking metformin.

    Measured: baseline to final visit (32 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline in Incidence of Hypoglycemia (Frequency)

    Employ Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) with Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) analysis to characterize the diurnal patterns produced by oral medications (metformin) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

    Employ CGM to measure the effect of exenatide, insulin glargine and exenatide plus insulin glargine in terms of underlying physiological defects and alter medications in a manner that improves- iv. Incidence of hypoglycemia (frequency)

    Change from baseline was calculated as mean incidence rate at baseline minus mean incidence rate at final visit (32 weeks)

    Measured: baseline to final visit (32 weeks)

  2. Change From Baseline in Incidence of Hypoglycemia (Degree)

    Employ Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) with Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) analysis to characterize the diurnal patterns produced by oral medications (metformin) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

    Employ CGM to measure the effect of exenatide, insulin glargine and exenatide plus insulin glargine in terms of underlying physiological defects and alter medications in a manner that improves- iv. Incidence of hypoglycemia (degree) Change from baseline was calculated as mean incidence percentage at baseline minus mean incidence percentage at final visit (32 weeks)

    Measured: baseline to final visit (32 weeks)

  3. Change From Baseline in Glucose Stability (Absolute Hourly Rate of Change in Median Curve)

    Employ Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) with Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) analysis to characterize the diurnal patterns produced by oral medications (metformin) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

    Employ CGM to measure the effect of exenatide, insulin glargine and exenatide plus insulin glargine in terms of underlying physiological defects and alter medications in a manner that improves iii. Glucose stability (absolute hourly rate of change in median curve)

    Change from baseline was calculated as mean absolute hourly rate of change in median curve at baseline minus rate at final visit (32 weeks). Mean absolute hourly rate of change in the smoothed median curve is calculated as delta subscript MC = (|p subscript 50 zero - p subscript 50 23|+Sum superscript 23 subscript i = 1| p subscript 50i - p subscript 50 i-1| over T.

    i = hour of day p subscript 50i = smoothed 50th percentile value for ith hour of day T = total # of non-missing hourly smoothed percentiles

    Measured: baseline to final visit (32 weeks)

  4. Change From Baseline in CGM Glucose Variability

    Employ Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) with Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) analysis to characterize the diurnal patterns produced by oral medications (metformin) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

    Employ CGM to measure the effect of exenatide, insulin glargine and exenatide plus insulin glargine in terms of underlying physiological defects and alter medications in a manner that improves- ii. Glucose variability (inter-quartile range)

    IQR is the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles. Change from baseline was calculated as IQR at baseline minus IQR value at final visit (32 weeks).

    Measured: baseline to final visit (32 weeks)

  5. Change From Baseline in Glucose Exposure (Area Under the Diurnal Median Curve or AUC)

    Employ Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) with Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) analysis to characterize the diurnal patterns produced by oral medications (metformin) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

    Employ CGM to measure the effect of exenatide, insulin glargine and exenatide plus insulin glargine in terms of underlying physiological defects and alter medications in a manner that improves- i. Glucose exposure (area under the diurnal median curve) Change from baseline was calculated as area under the diurnal median curve at baseline minus AUC value at final visit (32 weeks).

    AUC is calculated using modified rectangle method AUC = sum of superscript 23, subscript i=0 P subscript 50i I = hour of day P subscript 50i = smoother 50th percentile value for ith hour of day

    Measured: baseline - final visit (32 weeks)

  6. Change From Baseline in Weight Changes

    Measure the changes in weight attributable to exenatide, insulin glargine and their combinations.

    Employ CGM with AGP analysis to determine if there is an incremental benefit for subjects who do not reach target to add exenatide to insulin glargine or insulin glargine to exenatide in patients taking metformin.

    Change from baseline was calculated as weight in pounds at baseline minus weight in pounds at final visit (32 weeks).

    Measured: baseline - final visit (32 weeks)

What does the primary outcome measure?

HbA1c Change (time frame: baseline to final visit (32 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
