Efficacy and Safety of Sotagliflozin Versus Placebo in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Background of Metformin

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2019-03-22
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the superiority of Sotagliflozin versus placebo on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have inadequate glycemic control with metformin.

Secondary Objectives:

• To compare Sotagliflozin versus placebo for.

• Change from baseline in 2-hour postprandial glucose (PPG) following a mixed meal.

• Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG).

• Change from Baseline in systolic blood pressure (SBP) for participants with baseline SBP ≥130 millimeter of mercury (mmHg).

• Change from baseline in SBP for all participants.

• Change from baseline in body weight.

• Proportion of participants with HbA1c <6.5% and <7.0%.

• To evaluate the safety of Sotagliflozin versus placebo.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Criteria

Inclusion criteria :

• Participants with Type 2 Diabetes currently treated with diet and exercise and on metformin at a stable dose ≥1500 milligrams per day (mg/day) for at least 12 weeks. However, participants on metformin at a dose <1500 mg/day at the time of enrollment (stable dose for at least 12 weeks before enrollment) may be eligible for screening if documentation of lack of tolerance of a metformin dose ≥1500 mg/day can be provided.

• Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria:

• Age <18 years at Screening or < legal age of majority, whichever is greater.

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

• Body Mass Index (BMI) ≤20 or >45 kilograms per meter square (kg/m^2) at Screening

• Hemoglobin A1c <7% or >10% via central laboratory test at screening.

• Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) >15 millimole per liter (mmol/L) (270 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]) measured by the central laboratory at screening (Visit 1) and confirmed by a repeat test (>15 mmol/L [270 mg/dL]) before randomization.

• Women of childbearing potential not willing to use highly effective method(s) of birth control or who are unwilling or unable to be tested for pregnancy during the study.

• Treated with an antidiabetic pharmacological regimen other than metformin ≥1500 mg per day (or maximum tolerated dose) within the 12 weeks preceding the Screening Visit.

• Previous use of any types of insulin for >1 month (at any time, aside from pregnancy for treatment of gestational diabetes).

• History of prior gastric surgical procedure, including gastric banding, within 3 years before the Screening Visit.

• History of diabetic ketoacidosis or nonketotic hyperosmolar coma within 12 weeks prior to the Screening Visit.

• Mean of 3 separate blood pressure measurements >180 mmHg (SBP) or >100 mmHg (diastolic blood pressure [DBP]).

• History of hypertensive urgency or emergency within 12 weeks prior to Screening.

• Participants with severe anemia, severe cardiovascular (including congestive heart failure New York Heart Association [NYHA] IV), respiratory, hepatic, neurological, psychiatric, or active malignant tumor or other major systemic disease or participants with short life expectancy making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult.

• Aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase: >3 times the upper limit of the normal laboratory range.

• Total bilirubin: >1.5 times the upper limit of the normal laboratory range (except in case of Gilbert's syndrome).

• Use of systemic glucocorticoids (excluding topical or ophthalmic application or inhaled forms) for more than 10 consecutive days within 90 days prior to the Screening Visit.

• Participants who has taken other investigational drugs or prohibited therapy for this study within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives from screening or randomization, whichever is longer.

• Pregnant (confirmed by serum pregnancy test at Screening) or breastfeeding women.

• Participants is unwilling or unable to perform self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), complete the participants diary, or comply with study visits and other study procedures as required per protocol.

• Contraindication to metformin as per local labelling.
