About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Study of LY2189265 Monotherapy Compared to Placebo and Liraglutide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this trial is to examine the efficacy and safety of once-weekly LY2189265 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not taking oral antidiabetic medication.

Read the detailed description

Rescue therapy (defined as alternative antihyperglycemic medication use or dose modification of oral antihyperglycemic medication [OAM]) may have been initiated during the planned treatment period if the participant discontinued study drug or met prespecified thresholds for severe, persistent hyperglycemia. Efficacy data, as well as data for hypoglycemic episodes from participants who permanently discontinued study treatment but switched to another diabetes medication and remained in the study, were censored from the point of initiating new treatment onwards.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 26 Weeks

    Least squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, prestudy therapy (oral antihyperglycemic medication [OAM] yes/no), baseline body mass index (BMI) group (<25 or >=25 kilograms per meter squared [kg/m^2]) as fixed effects, baseline HbA1c as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 52 Weeks

    LS means were calculated using MMRM analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects, baseline HbA1c as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 52 weeks

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HbA1c <=6.5% or <7%

    The percentage of participants achieving HbA1c level less than 7.0% and less than or equal to 6.5% at Week 26 and Week 52 was analyzed with a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test stratified by prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no) and baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2).

    Measured: Up to 26 and 52 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    LS means were calculated using MMRM analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects, baseline FBG as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline in 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Participants were to test and record SMBG concentrations in their study diaries before each meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), approximately 2 hours after the start of each meal, and at bedtime. LS means were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), and baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects and baseline SMBG as a covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  5. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    LS means were calculated using MMRM analysis with treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects, baseline body weight as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  6. Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity Using Updated Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA 2) at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    HOMA 2 quantifies insulin resistance and beta-cell function. HOMA2-S is a computer model that uses fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations to estimate insulin sensitivity (%S) as a percentage of a normal reference population (normal young adults). The normal reference population was set at 100%. Change in insulin sensitivity was assessed based on change from baseline of HOMA2-%S using fasting insulin (FI) and fasting C-peptide (FCP). LS means were calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), and baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects and baseline HOMA2-%S as a covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  7. Change From Baseline in Beta-cell Function Using Updated Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA 2) at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    HOMA 2 quantifies insulin resistance and beta-cell function. HOMA2-B is a computer model that uses fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations to estimate steady state beta-cell function (%B) as a percentage of a normal reference population (normal young adults). The normal reference population was set at 100%. Change in beta-cell function was assessed based on change from baseline of HOMA2-%B using fasting insulin (FI) and fasting C-peptide (FCP). LS means were calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), and baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects and baseline HOMA2-%B as a covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  8. Percentage of Participants With Hypoglycemic Episodes

    The percentage of participants with hypoglycemic episodes was calculated by dividing the number of participants with at least one hypoglycemic episode over the 26-week or 52-week treatment period by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100%. All classifications of hypoglycemia (documented symptomatic, asymptomatic, severe, nocturnal, non-nocturnal, probable symptomatic, relative, and unspecified) were included, except for episodes of relative hypoglycemia that were not severe. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 weeks and Baseline through 52 weeks

  9. 30-Day Rate of Hypoglycemic Episodes

    The 30-day total hypoglycemia rate over 26 weeks and 52 weeks of treatment is summarized. All classifications of hypoglycemia (documented symptomatic, asymptomatic, severe, nocturnal, non-nocturnal, probable symptomatic, relative, and unspecified) were included, except for episodes of relative hypoglycemia that were not severe. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 weeks and Baseline through 52 weeks

  10. Number of Participants With Adjudicated Cardiovascular Events at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Deaths and nonfatal cardiovascular adverse events were adjudicated by a committee of physicians with cardiology expertise external to the Sponsor. The nonfatal cardiovascular events subjected to adjudication included myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, coronary interventions (such as coronary artery bypass graft or percutaneous coronary intervention), and cerebrovascular events including cerebrovascular accident (stroke) and transient ischemic attack. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 weeks and Baseline through 52 weeks

  11. Change From Baseline in Pulse Rate at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Sitting pulse rate was measured. LS means were calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), and baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects and baseline pulse rate as a covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  12. Change From Baseline in Blood Pressure at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Sitting systolic blood pressure (SBP) and sitting diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured. LS means were calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, prestudy therapy (OAM yes/no), and baseline BMI group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) as fixed effects and baseline blood pressure as a covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  13. Number of Participants With Adjudicated Pancreatitis at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Events of pancreatitis (including suspected pancreatitis and severe or serious abdominal pain) were adjudicated by a committee of expert physicians external to the Sponsor. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 weeks and Baseline through 52 weeks

  14. Change From Baseline in Pancreatic Enzymes at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Pancreatic enzyme (lipase and total amylase) concentrations were measured.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  15. Change From Baseline in Serum Calcitonin at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  16. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent LY2189265 Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    A participant was considered to have treatment-emergent LY2189265 ADAs if the participant had at least 1 titer that was treatment-emergent relative to baseline, defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in titer from the baseline measurement.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 weeks and Baseline through 52 weeks

  17. Number of Participants Requiring Additional Intervention Due to Hyperglycemia at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Additional intervention was defined as any additional therapeutic intervention in participants who developed persistent, severe hyperglycemia despite full compliance with the assigned therapeutic regimen, or initiation of an alternative antihyperglycemic medication following study drug discontinuation. The number of participants requiring additional intervention due to hyperglycemia is summarized cumulatively at 26 and 52 weeks.

    Measured: Baseline through 26 weeks and Baseline through 52 weeks

  18. Change From Baseline in Electrocardiogram Parameters at 26 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Fridericia Corrected QT (QTcF) Interval and PR Interval are summarized. 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: QTcF = 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. LS means were calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment as a fixed effect and the baseline ECG parameter as the covariate.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

A Phase 3 study testing LY2189265 and Liraglutide in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 14 sites in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 22 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 30 Oct 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?

Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 26 Weeks (time frame: Baseline, 26 weeks). 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 NCT01558271, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 May 2015.
