About this study
Official title: A Repeat-dose Study in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacodynamics, of Albiglutide Liquid Drug Product
This is a phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel group, repeat-dose, study of 26 weeks duration to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic response of albiglutide liquid drug product relative to the commercial lyophilized drug product. The study will specifically evaluate the potential for immunogenicity (example [e.g.] incidences of anti-drug antibodies [ADA]) and injection site reactions (ISRs).
Albiglutide is a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) with a sufficiently long half-life to permit once a week injection. Currently, lyophilized albiglutide and the diluent are provided in a dual chamber cartridge (DCC), single-dose pen injector, requiring reconstitution prior to use. A liquid formulation of albiglutide will enable the commercialization of a liquid product in a single dose, ready-to-use prefilled syringe in an auto-injector.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26
Blood samples will be collected from participants at specific time points to evaluate HbA1c to monitor for potential hyperglycemia. The last measurement collected prior to the first dose of randomized study treatment was considered as Baseline value. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The analysis was performed using a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) method. The primary analysis will include all HbA1c values collected at scheduled visits from Week 4 up to Week 26. This will include values after hyperglycemia rescue and discontinuation from investigational product. Imputation under the non-inferiority null hypothesis for missing data will be incorporated.
Measured: Baseline and Week 26
Secondary outcomes (11)
Number of Participants With On-therapy Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability, is a congenital anomaly/ birth effect, other situations and is associated with liver injury or impaired liver function.
Measured: Up to Week 26
Number of Participants With Clinical Chemistry Parameters of Potential Clinical Concern (PCC)
Chemistry parameters for which PCC values were identified were alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (if value >3 * upper limit of normal [ULN]), albumin (if value >5 gram/liter [g/L] above ULN or below lower limit of normal [LLN]), alkaline phosphatase (alk.phosph.) (if value >3*ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (if value >3*ULN), total bilirubin (if value >1.5 ULN), calcium (if value <1.8 or >3.0 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]), carbon di oxide (CO2) (if value <16 or >40 mmol/L), creatinine (if value >159 micromoles per liter [µmol/L]), direct bilirubin (if value >1.35*ULN), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) (if value >3*ULN), potassium (if value >0.5 mmol/L below LLN and >1.0 mmol/L above ULN), protein (if value >15 g/L above ULN or below LLN), sodium (>5 mmol/L below LLN or above ULN), urate (if value >654 µmol/L) and urea (if value >2*ULN). Number of participants with chemistry parameters of PCC at 'any visit post-Baseline' are presented.
Measured: Up to Week 26

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The analysis was performed using a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) method. The primary analysis will include all HbA1c values collected at scheduled visits from Week 4 up to Week 26. This will include values after hyperglycemia rescue and discontinuation from investigational product. Imputation under the non-inferiority null hypothesis for missing data will be incorporated.

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 7 inclusion and 24 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 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 70 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. 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 May 2018). 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 Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26 (time frame: Baseline and Week 26). 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 NCT02683746, 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 Jul 2019.
