E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1. To compare the effects on mean change from baseline in A1C, for rivoglitazone, versus pioglitazone, administered as monotherapy in type 2 diabetics over a 26-week treatment period. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
2. To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of rivoglitazone as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
3. To demonstrate the lowering of FPG with rivoglitazone, versus placebo, over 26 weeks in type 2 diabetics.
4. To assess the effects of each rivoglitazone dose on the percent of responders as defined by: - Subjects experiencing a decrease of ≥ 0.7 percentage units in A1C - Subjects achieving an A1C goal of < 7.0 % - Subjects achieving an A1C goal of < 6.5 %
5. To assess the effect of rivoglitazone versus placebo, on HOMA indices of insulin resistance and β-cell function in type 2 diabetics.
6. To assess the effects of rivoglitazone on change from baseline and percent change from baseline in plasma lipids (including TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG, and on parameters including adiponectin, hs-CRP, insulin, Apo A1 and Apo B).
7. To compare effects of rivoglitazone versus pioglitazone on secondary measures of glycemic control and lipid parameters.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Willing and able to give written informed consent at screening. • Diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. • Male or female subjects ≥ 18 years of age. • A1C > 7.0% and ≤ 8.5% at screening. • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of contraception as detailed per-protocol to avoid pregnancy throughout the study, and for up to 4 weeks after study completion (see Section 5.4.2). • Non-fasting C-peptide >0.5 ng/mL at screening. • Subjects currently treated with a stable dose of an approved non-thiazolidinedione antihyperglycemic medication (including sulfonylureas, meglitinides, insulin secretagogues, metformin, or α-glucosidase inhibitors) given as monotherapy, for at least 3 months prior to screening. OR • Subjects untreated with any antihyperglycemic agent during the 2 months prior to screening and with no prior history of treatment failure with, or intolerance of, a thiazolidinedione. The target enrollment for untreated or treatmentnaïve subjects is at least 20%. • If not treated with an oral antihyperglycemic agent, subject is considered to have failed diet and exercise modification as the sole treatment for type 2 diabetes. • Clinically stable in regards to medical conditions other than type 2 diabetes. • Concomitant medications (other than oral antihyperglycemic agents; see # 7), are at stable doses for at least 30 days prior to enrollment, and are not anticipated to need adjustment during the study period. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• A history of Type 1 diabetes or ketoacidosis. • History of long-term (>2 months) therapy with insulin. • At least two (≥2) readings of fasting blood glucose (FBG) >240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) during the 2 week washout/stabilization and placebo run-in period (Period A). • Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 110 mmHg. • Any known history of congestive heart failure (CHF). • Impaired hepatic function (including active hepatitis and/or elevated liver enzymes as specified per protocol). • A history of prior treatment failure with, or intolerance of, a thiazolidinedione. • Contraindication to treatment with 45 mg pioglitazone QD. • Treatment with fibrates (eg, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil). • Body mass index (BMI) >45 kg/m2.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary Efficacy Analysis The primary comparisons in this study is simultaneous evaluation of non-inferiority and superiority for each descending dose of rivoglitazone versus 45 mg pioglitazone, and superiority assessment for each descending dose of rivoglitazone versus placebo, with respect to the mean change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), when administered as monotherapy over a 26 week treatment period. An assessment of non-inferiority and superiority for 1.5 mg rivoglitazone versus 45 mg pioglitazone will be evaluated first, and if significant, a non-inferiority and superiority analyses for 1.0 mg rivoglitazone versus 45 mg pioglitazone as well as superiority analysis for 1.5 mg rivoglitazone versus placebo will be performed. Lastly, if superiority is shown for 1.5 mg rivoglitazone versus placebo, superiority will be tested for 1.0 mg rivoglitazone versus placebo. It is acknowledged, however, that power for assessing superiority for 1.0 mg rivoglitazone versus 45 mg pioglitazone is low due to smaller numbers of planned enrollment in the 1.0 mg rivoglitazone arm (ie, n=260). Testing hypotheses in this pre-specified tree-structured hierarchically ordered manner will preserve the family-wise type I error rate at 0.05.12.
The primary efficacy analyses will be adjusted for the effects of the stratification factors using the appropriate methods (eg, generalised Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel [CMH] method, analysis of covariance [ANCOVA] method, etc) and the detailed algorithm will be described in the statistical analysis plan.
