What is being measured

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

  1. Model-adjusted Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 24

    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 nonmissing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 24 minus the value at Baseline. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): Change at Week 24 = treatment (placebo, albiglutide 30 mg, albiglutide 50 mg) + Baseline HbA1c + prior diabetes therapy + age category (<65 years versus ≥65 years). Participants who discontinued from study treatment before Week 24 had their last post-Baseline HbA1c carried forward for the analysis unless the value is past 14 days after the last dose of study drug. The open-label liraglutide group was a reference group and not included in the primary endpoint analysis model. Descriptive summary statistics are provided as a separate outcome measure.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  2. Mean HbA1c at Baseline, Week 24, and Change From Baseline at Week 24

    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 nonmissing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 24 minus the value at Baseline. Participants who discontinued from study treatment before Week 24 had their last post-Baseline HbA1c value carried forward for the summary, unless the value was past 14 days after the last dose of study drug. The open-label liraglutide group was a reference group; descriptive statistics comparing albiglutide and liraglutide were exploratory endpoints.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 52

    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 on or before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 52 minus the value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinically Meaningful Levels of HbA1c (i.e., the Percentage of Participants Achieving Treatment Goal of <6.5% and <7.0%) at Week 24

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3 month period. Clinically meaningful levels of response in HbA1c are defined as <6.5% and <7.0%. Participants who discontinued the study before Week 24 had their last post-Baseline HbA1c value carried forwrad for the summary unless the value was past 14 days after the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: Week 24

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinically Meaningful Levels of HbA1c (i.e., the Percentage of Participants Achieving Treatment Goal of <6.5% and <7.0%) at Week 52

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3 month period. Clinically meaningful levels of response in HbA1c are defined as <6.5% and <7.0%.

    Measured: Week 52

  4. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24

    FPG is an indicator of efficacy. The Baseline FPG value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the FPG value at Week 24 minus the FPG value at Baseline. Participants who discontinued from study treatment before Week 24 had their last post-Baseline FPG observation carried forward for the summary unless the value was 14 days past the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  5. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 52

    FPG is an indicator of efficacy. The Baseline FPG value is defined as the last non-missing value on or before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the FPG value at Week 52 minus the FPG value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  6. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 24

    The Baseline body weight value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the body weight value at Week 24 minus the value at Baseline. Participants who discontinued from the study treatment before Week 24 had their last non-missing weight carried forward for the summary, unless the value is past 14 days after the last dose of study drug.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 24

  7. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 52

    The Baseline body weight value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the body weight value at Week 52 minus the value at Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 52

  8. Time to Study Withdrawal Due to Hyperglycemia

    Participants who experienced persistent hyperglycemia after uptitration were to be withdrawn from the study. Hyperglycemia is defined as a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥280 mg/dL (≥15.5 mmol/L) from ≥Week 2 to <Week 4, ≥250 mg/dL (≥13.9 mmol/L) from ≥Week 4 to <Week 12, or ≥230 mg/dL (≥12.8 mmol/L) from ≥Week 12 to <Week 52, confirmed a second evaluation within 7 days.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 52

  9. Time to Study Withdrawal for Any Reason

    Time to withdrawal was calculated as the number of days between the date of first dose and the date of withdrawal plus 1. Time to withdrawal was summarized by visit.

    Measured: Baseline through Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Albiglutide 30 mg weekly, Albiglutide 50 mg weekly and Liraglutide 0.9 mg daily in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 74 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 5 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 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 74 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 18 May 2015). 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?

Model-adjusted Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline and Week 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Sep 2016.
