What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Total Daily Bolus Amount of Exogenous Insulin Required Calculated Over Days 3 to 27 (Treatment Outpatient Period)

    Baseline was calculated as the mean value from Day -6 to -2 for Expansion groups and from Day -6 to Day -3 for Pioneer Group. Percent mean change from baseline was calculated as 100*(sum [each daily value - baseline]/number of assessments)/baseline over Days 3 to 27. Least squares (LS) Means and confidence interval (CI) for the Expansion groups were based on an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with covariates of baseline mean total bolus insulin, treatment group, factor used to stratify the randomization (screening A1C <= 8%, > 8%), and random effect of participant*treatment group. LS Means and CI for the Pioneer Group were based on the arithmetic treatment mean.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 3 to Day 27

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percent Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Bolus Amount of Exogenous Insulin Required at Each Meal Calculated Over Days 3 to 27 (Treatment Outpatient Period)

    Baseline was calculated as the mean value from Day -6 to -2 for Expansion groups and from Day -6 to Day -3 for Pioneer Group. Percent mean change from baseline was calculated as 100*(sum [each daily value - baseline] / number of assessments)/baseline over Days 3 to 27. Percent change was calculated and is presented separately for each meal: i.e., breakfast, lunch and dinner. LS Means and CI for the Expansion groups were based on an ANCOVA model . LS Means and CI for the Pioneer Group were based on the arithmetic treatment mean.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 3 to Day 27

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in Total Daily Amount of Exogenous Insulin (Total Daily Bolus + Total Daily Basal) Required Calculated Over Days 3 to 27 (Treatment Outpatient Period)

    Baseline was calculated as the mean value from Day -6 to -2 for Expansion groups and from Day -6 to Day -3 for Pioneer Group. Percent mean change from baseline was calculated as 100*(sum [each daily value - baseline]/ number of assessments)/baseline over Days 3 to 27. LS Means and CI for the Expansion groups were based on an ANCOVA model. LS Means and CI for the Pioneer Group were based on the arithmetic treatment mean.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 3 to Day 27

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Day 29

    Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to first dose of study drug. Change in FPG was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Day 29 value. LS Means and CI for the Expansion groups were based on a linear mixed repeated measures model.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 29

  4. Change From Day 1 in 3-hour Plasma Glucose AUC (AUC0-3 h) Following a Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT) at Day 29: Expansion Groups

    A MMTT with frequent blood sample collection and with urine collection was performed on Day 1 and Day 29. Participants fasted (with the exception of water or non-caffeinated, calorie-free beverages) for at least 8 hours before the start of the MMTT and until the final blood sample was collected. Study drug was to be given within 15 minutes before liquid "Boost® Original" breakfast. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time-zero to 3h postdose on Day 1 and Day 29 was calculated using the linear-up/log-down trapezoidal rule. Change was calculated by subtracting Day 1 value from Day 29 value. LS Means and CI were based on a linear mixed model.

    Measured: Prior to start of mixed meal and 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min post start of mixed meal, on Day 1 and Day 29

  5. Change From Baseline in Percent Time Per Day Spent in Euglycemic Range (>=70 and <=180 mg/dL) Over Days 3 to 27 (Treatment Outpatient Period) Based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring

    Baseline was calculated as the mean value from Day -6 to -2 for Expansion groups and from Day -6 to Day -3 for Pioneer Group. Change in percent time per day spent in euglycemic range was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Day 29 value. LS Means and CI for the Expansion groups were based on a mixed model. LS mean and CI for the Pioneer Group were based on the arithmetic treatment mean.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 3 to Day 27

  6. Change From Day 1 in 3-hour Urinary Glucose Excretion Following a Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT) to Day 29: Expansion Groups

    A MMTT with frequent blood sample collection and with urine collection was performed on Day 1 and Day 29. Participants fasted (with the exception of water or non-caffeinated, calorie-free beverages) for at least 8 hours before the start of the MMTT and until the final blood sample was collected. Study drug was to be given within 15 minutes before liquid "Boost® Original" breakfast. Participants were asked to void immediately before blood sample 15 minutes before start of mixed meal and immediately after the 180-minute (3 hour) blood sample was collected, and all urine between the -15 minute and post-180-minute time points was collected for urine glucose calculation. Change was calculated by subtracting Day 1 value from Day 29 value. LS Means were based on a linear mixed model.

    Measured: From 15 minutes before start of mixed meal until 180 min post start of mixed meal, on Day 1 and Day 29

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sotagliflozin in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals at 7 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 19 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 12 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 2019). 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?

Percent Change From Baseline in Total Daily Bolus Amount of Exogenous Insulin Required Calculated Over Days 3 to 27 (Treatment Outpatient Period) (time frame: Baseline, Day 3 to Day 27). 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 NCT01742208, 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 12 Feb 2020.
