About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Albiglutide as Compared With Liraglutide in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This open-label study examines the efficacy and safety of albiglutide as compared with liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Read the detailed description
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2 parallel-group study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a weekly subcutaneously injected dose of albiglutide as compared with liraglutide. Subjects with a historical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and whose glycemia is inadequately controlled on their current regimen of metformin, thiazolidinedione, sulfonylurea, or any combination of these oral antidiabetics will be recruited into the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 32
HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in HbA1c was calculated as the value at Week 32 minus the value at Baseline. The analysis was performed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group, region, history of prior myocardial infarction (yes versus no), and age category (<65 years versus ≥65 years) as factors and Baseline HbA1c as a continuous covariate. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.
Measured: Baseline and Week 32
Secondary outcomes (6)
Mean Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Weeks 4, 6, 12, 18 and 26
HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The LOCF method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing. Participants were considered in the treatment week if they had received at least one dose in that treatment week.
Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4, 6, 12, 18 and 26
Mean Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 32
The FPG test measures blood sugar levels after the participant has not eaten (fasted) for 12 to 14 hours. The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the value at Baseline. The analysis was performed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group, region, Baseline HbA1c category, history of prior myocardial infarction (yes versus no), and age category (<65 years versus ≥65 years) as factors and Baseline FPG as a continuous covariate. The LOCF method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing. Participants were considered in the treatment week if they had received at least one dose in that treatment week.
Measured: Baseline and Week 32
Mean Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 26
The FPG test measures blood sugar levels after the participant has not eaten (fasted) for 12 to 14 hours. The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the value at Baseline. The LOCF method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing. Participants were considered in the treatment week if they had received at least one dose in that treatment week.
Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 26
Number of Participants Who Achieved HbA1c Response Level of <6.5% and <7.0% at Week 32
Number of participants who achieved HbA1c response levels of <6.5% and <7.0% at Week 32 were assessed. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.
Measured: Week 32
Time to Hyperglycemia Rescue at Week 32
Participants who experienced persistent hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) could have qualified for hyperglycemia rescue. The conditions for hyperglycemia rescue were as follows: fasting plasma glucose (FPG) >=280 milligram/decilitre (mg/dL) >= Week 2 and < Week 4, FPG >=250 mg/dL >= Week 4 and <Week 12, HbA1c ≥8.5% and ≤0.5% reduction from Baseline- >= Week 12 and <Week 26, or HbA1c ≥8.5% >= Week 26. Time to hyperglycemia rescue is defined as the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of hyperglycemia rescue plus one day, or the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of the last visit during the active treatment period plus one day for participants not requiring rescue. This time was divided by 7 to express the result in weeks. All times extending beyond Week 32 relevant to hyperglycemia rescue were censored at Week 32.
Measured: Week 32
Mean Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 32
The Baseline value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 32 minus the value at Baseline. The analysis was performed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group, region, Baseline HbA1c category, history of prior myocardial infarction (yes versus no), and age category (<65 years versus ≥65 years) as factors and Baseline weight as a continuous covariate. The LOCF method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing. Weight values obtained after hyperglycemia rescue were treated as missing and replaced with pre-rescue values.
Measured: Baseline and Week 32

Primary outcome
Mean Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 32
Time frame: Baseline and Week 32
HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in HbA1c was calculated as the value at Week 32 minus the value at Baseline. The analysis was performed using an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group, region, history of prior myocardial infarction (yes versus no), and age category (<65 years versus ≥65 years) as factors and Baseline HbA1c as a continuous covariate. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last non-missing post-Baseline on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing albiglutide and liraglutide in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 173 sites in 8 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 173 sites in United States, Australia, Peru, South Korea, Philippines and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 May 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Mean Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 32 (time frame: Baseline and Week 32). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01128894, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2017.
