    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE This study assessed the efficacy and safety of LixiLan, a fixed-ratio, titratable, combination of 2 units Insulin Glargine (Gla-100) and 1 μg lixisenatide administered once daily via a single pen, versus Gla-100 in Insulin-naive type 2 diabetes on metformin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants were randomized to once-daily LixiLan (n = 161) or Gla-100 (n = 162) for 24 weeks, while continuing metformin. LixiLan and Gla-100 were started at 10 units/5 μg and 10 units, respectively, and titrated based on the Gla-100 requirement according to fasting plasma glucose levels. The primary objective was to test noninferiority (upper bound of the 95% CI ≤0.4%) of LixiLan in reducing HbA1c; if met, statistical superiority was tested. Secondary objectives included body weight changes, hypoglycemia, and safety. RESULTS Baseline characteristics (mean age 57 years, diabetes duration 6–7 years, BMI 32 kg/m2) were similar between groups. At week 24, mean HbA1c was reduced from 8.0% (64 mmol/mol) at baseline to 6.3% (45 mmol/mol) and 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) with LixiLan and Gla-100, respectively, establishing statistical noninferiority and superiority of LixiLan (least-squared mean [95% CI] difference: −0.17% [−0.31, −0.04] {−1.9 mmol/mol [−3.4, −0.4]}; P = 0.01). HbA1c CONCLUSIONS LixiLan achieved statistically significant reductions to near-normal HbA1c levels with weight loss and no increased hypoglycemic risk, compared with Insulin Glargine alone, and a low incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events in type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin.

    Abstract:

    Aims To compare the efficacy and safety of LY2963016 Insulin Glargine (LY IGlar) and the reference product (Lantus®) Insulin Glargine (IGlar) in combination with oral antihyperglycaemic medications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods This phase III, randomized, double-blind, 24-week study enrolled patients with T2D who were Insulin-naive [glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥7 and ≤11.0%] or previously on IGlar (HbA1c ≤11%) and treated with ≥2 oral antihyperglycaemic medications. Patients were randomized to receive once-daily LY IGlar (n = 376) or IGlar (n = 380) for 24 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was to test the non-inferiority (0.4% and then 0.3% margin) of LY IGlar to IGlar, as measured by change in HbA1c from baseline to 24 weeks. Results Both treatment groups had similar and significant (p   0.05]. There were no treatment differences (p > 0.05) in fasting plasma glucose, proportion of patients reaching HbA1c <7% or Insulin dose at 24 weeks. Adverse events, allergic reactions, weight change, hypoglycaemia and Insulin antibodies were similar between treatment groups. Similar findings were observed in patients who were Insulin-naive or previously treated with IGlar at baseline. Conclusions Both LY IGlar and IGlar, when used in combination with oral antihyperglycaemic medications, provided effective and similar glucose control with similar safety profiles in patients with T2D.

    Abstract:

    Aims To compare the efficacy and safety of LY2963016 Insulin Glargine (LY IGlar) and the reference product (Lantus®) Insulin Glargine (IGlar) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods This phase III, randomized, open-label, 52-week study enrolled patients with T1D [glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤11%] being treated with basal (once-daily) and bolus Insulin. Patients were randomized to receive once-daily LY IGlar (n = 268) or IGlar (n = 267) in combination with mealtime Insulin lispro for 52 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was to test the non-inferiority (0.4% and then 0.3% margin) of LY IGlar to IGlar as measured by change in HbA1c from baseline to 24 weeks. Results Both treatment groups had similar and significant (p   0.05]. There were no significant (p > 0.05) treatment differences in other efficacy measures, including proportion of patients reaching HbA1c <7%, daily mean blood glucose, and Insulin dose at 24 and 52 weeks. At 52 weeks, similar findings were observed between LY IGlar and IGlar for safety outcomes, including adverse events, allergic reactions, hypoglycaemia, weight change and Insulin antibodies. Conclusions Both LY IGlar and IGlar, when used in combination with mealtime Insulin lispro, provided effective and similar glucose control and similar safety profiles.

  • Insulin degludec improves long term glycaemic control similarly to Insulin Glargine but with fewer hypoglycaemic episodes in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes on basal bolus Insulin therapy
    Diabetes Obesity and Metabolism, 2015
    Co-Authors: Priscilla Hollander, Julio Rosenstock, Charlotte T Hansen, Allen B. King, S. Del Prato, S. Sreenan, Mustafa Kemal Balci, M. Niemeyer, Manuel Munoztorres, Alan J. Garber
    Abstract:

    The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term safety and efficacy of Insulin degludec with those of Insulin Glargine in patients with advanced type 2 diabetes (T2D) over 78 weeks (the 52-week main trial and a 26-week extension). Patients were randomized to once-daily Insulin degludec or Insulin Glargine, with mealtime Insulin aspart ± metformin ± pioglitazone, and titrated to pre-breakfast plasma glucose values of 3.9–4.9 mmol/l (70–88 mg/dl). After 78 weeks, the overall rate of hypoglycaemia was 24% lower (p = 0.011) and the rate of nocturnal hypoglycaemia was 31% lower (p = 0.016) with Insulin degludec in the extension trial set, while both groups of patients achieved similar glycaemic control. Rates of adverse events and total Insulin doses were similar for both groups in the safety analysis set. During 18 months of treatment, Insulin degludec + mealtime Insulin aspart ± oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with T2D improves glycaemic control similarly, but confers lower risks of overall and nocturnal hypoglycaemia than with Insulin Glargine treatment.

    Co-Authors: Anthony H Barnett, David M. Kendall, Don Johns, R Brodows, Jude Burger, Anthony P Roberts, Michael E Trautmann
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective: This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety profiles of exenatide and Insulin Glargine therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes who had not achieved glucose control with metformin or sulfonylurea monotherapy. Methods: This multinational, randomized, open-label, crossover noninferiority study compared the efficacy of exenatide 10 pg BID and Insulin Glargine QD (titrated targeting a fasting serum glucose (FSG) level ≤5.6 mmol/L) in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with a single oral antidiabetic agent. The study included two 16-week treatment periods. The primary a priori outcome variable was the change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA lc ). Secondary outcomes included the proportion of patients achieving the American Diabetes Association (ADA) target HbA lc of ≤7% and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes target of ≤6.5%, the change in FSG, end-point values and change in the 7-point self-monitored glucose profile, and change in body weight. Adverse events were assessed based on standard laboratory tests and patient reports. Results: One hundred thirty-eight patients were randomized to study treatment (52.9% female, 47.1% male; 79.7% white; mean [SEM] age, 54.9 [0.8] years; duration of diabetes, 7.4 [0.4] years; body mass index, 31.1 [0.4] kg/m 2 ; weight, 84.8 [1.4] kg) while continuing to receive metformin (55.1%) or a sulfonylurea (44.9%). The population had a baseline least squares (LS) mean (SEM) HbA lc of 8.95% (0.09%) and an LS mean FSG concentration of 12.0 (0.3) mmol/L. Both exenatide and titrated Insulin Glargine therapy were associated with similar significant changes from baseline in HbA 1c (both, -1.36% [0.09%]; P 1c at end point was above the ADA target with both treatments (exenatide, 7.57% [0.09%]; Insulin Glargine, 7.58% [0.09%]). Similar proportions of patients achieved an HbA 1c ≤7% (37.5% and 39.8%, respectively; P = NS) or ≤6.5% (21.5% and 13.6%). Patients lost weight during exenatide treatment, whereas they gained weight during Insulin Glargine treatment; the between-group difference in weight change was statistically significant (LS mean difference, -2.2 [0.3] kg; 95% CI, -2.8 to-1.7; P P P P P P = NS). Condusions: In this open-label, crossover study, treatment with exenatide or Insulin Glargine for 16 weeks was associated with similar significant improvements from baseline in HbA 1c , independent of treatment order. The improvements in HbA 1c from baseline did not differ significantly between treatment groups. Exenatide therapy was associated with significant reductions in body weight and PPG excursions compared with Insulin Glargine, whereas Insulin Glargine was associated with a significantly greater reduction in FSG compared with exenatide. These findings provide additional information to guide treatment decisions in patients with type 2 diabetes who are potential candidates for either therapy.

  • exenatide versus Insulin Glargine in patients with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes a randomized trial
    Annals of Internal Medicine, 2005
    Co-Authors: Robert J Heine, Luc F Van Gaal, Don Johns, Michael J Mihm, Mario Widel, R Brodows
    Abstract:

    Background: Physicians may use either Insulin or exenatide injections for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have poor glycemic control despite taking oral blood glucose-lowering drugs. Objective: To compare effects of exenatide and Insulin Glargine on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus that is suboptimally controlled with metformin and a sulfonylurea. Design: 26-week multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: 82 outpatient study centers in 13 countries. Patients: 551 patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control (defined as hemoglobin A 1c level ranging from 7.0% to 10.0%) despite combination metformin and sulfonylurea therapy. Intervention: Exenatide, 10 μg twice daily, or Insulin Glargine, 1 daily dose titrated to maintain fasting blood glucose levels of less than 5.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dL). Measurements: Hemoglobin A 1c level, fasting plasma glucose level, body weight, 7-point self-monitored blood glucose, standardized test-meal challenge, safety, and tolerability. Results: Baseline mean hemoglobin A 1c level was 8.2% for patients receiving exenatide and 8.3% for those receiving Insulin Glargine. At week 26, both exenatide and Insulin Glargine reduced hemoglobin A 1c levels by 1.11% (difference, 0.017 percentage point [95% Cl, -0.123 to 0.157 percentage point]). Exenatide reduced postprandial glucose excursions more than Insulin Glargine, while Insulin Glargine reduced fasting glucose concentrations more than exenatide. Body weight decreased 2.3 kg with exenatide and increased 1.8 kg with Insulin Glargine (difference, -4.1 kg [Cl, -4.6 to -3.5 kg]). Rates of symptomatic hypoglycemia were similar, but nocturnal hypoglycemia occurred less frequently with exenatide (0.9 event/patient-year versus 2.4 events/ patient-year; difference, -1.6 events/patient-year [Cl, -2.3 to -0.9 event/patient year]). Gastrointestinal symptoms were more common in the exenatide group than in the Insulin Glargine group, including nausea (57.1% vs. 8.6%), vomiting (17.4% vs. 3.7%) and diarrhea (8.5% vs. 3.0%). Limitations: The trial was open-label and did not assess clinical complications related to diabetes. Of the 551 participants, 19.4% of those receiving exenatide and 9.7% of those receiving Insulin Glargine withdrew from the study. Only 21.6% of the Insulin Glargine group and 8.6% of the exenatide group achieved the target level for fasting plasma glucose of less than 5.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dL). Conclusions: Exenatide and Insulin Glargine achieved similar improvements in overall glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes that was suboptimally controlled with oral combination therapy. Exenatide was associated with weight reduction and had a higher incidence of gastrointestinal adverse effects than Insulin Glargine.

  • one year treatment with exenatide vs Insulin Glargine effects on postprandial glycemia lipid profiles and oxidative stress
    Atherosclerosis, 2010
    Co-Authors: Mathijs C Bunck, Hannele Ykijarvinen, Robert J Heine, Anja Corner, Bjorn Eliasson, Rimma M Shaginian, Ulf Smith, Ping Yan, Michaela Diamant
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of one-year treatment with exenatide or Insulin Glargine, followed by a 5-week off-drug period, on postprandial lipidaemia, glycaemia and measures of oxidative stress. Methods Sixty-nine metformin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes were randomised (using apermuted block randomisation scheme stratified by site and baseline HbA 1c stratum (≤8.5% or >8.5%) of which 60 completed (exenatide n =30; Insulin Glargine n =30) the pre-treatment and on-drug meal test. Postprandial glucose, lipids and lipoproteins, and oxidative stress markers were studied at week −1, 51, and after a 5-week off-drug period following a breakfast and lunch mixed-meal containing 50g fat, 75g carbohydrates, and 35g protein. Results 51-Week exenatide treatment resulted in a significant reduction of prandial glucose, triglycerides, apo-B48, calculated VLDL-C, FFA and MDA excursions whereas Insulin Glargine predominantly reduced fasting glucose, FFA and MDA. Changes in markers of oxidative stress were related to changes in postprandial glucose and triglyceride excursions, independent of treatment arm. All postprandial measures returned to pre-treatment values in both groups after 5-week cessation of study treatment. Conclusion Exenatide showed beneficial effects on postprandial glycaemia and lipidaemia, and these effects were related to changes in the oxidative stress markers MDA and oxLDL during one year of treatment as compared to Insulin Glargine. Following cessation of both exenatide and Insulin Glargine measures returned to pre-treatment values, suggesting that ongoing treatment is necessary to maintain the beneficial effects of either therapy.
