E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of AVE0010 on glycemic control in comparison to placebo as an add-on treatment to pioglitazone in Type 2 Diabetes patients treated with pioglitazone in terms of absolute HbA1c reduction over a period of 24 weeks. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this study are: • To assess the effects of AVE0010 on − Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7 %, − Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c ≤6.5 %, − Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), − Body weight, − β-cell function assessed by HOMA-β, − Fasting plasma insulin. • To assess AVE0010 safety and tolerability. • To assess AVE0010 PK. • To assess anti-AVE0010 antibody development. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, as defined by WHO (Fasting plasma glucose ≥7 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) or 2 hours postprandial plasma glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL)), diagnosed for at least 1 year at the time of the screening visit, insufficiently controlled with pioglitazone.
• Written informed consent obtained. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Related to study methodo - HbA1c <7.0 % or HbA1c >10 % at screening. - At the time of screening age <legal age of majority. - Women of childbearing potential with no effective contraceptive method (Women of childbearing potential (pre-menopausal, not surgically sterile women for at least 3 months prior to the time of screening) must have a confirmed negative serum β-hCG pregnancy test at screening visit. They must use an effective contraceptive method throughout the study, and agree to repeat serum β-hCG pregnancy test at designated visits). - Type 1 diabetes mellitus. - No stable treatment with pioglitazone at a stable dose of at least 30 mg/day for at least 3 months prior to screening. - If treatment with metformin: no stable dose of at least 1.5 g/day for at least 3 months prior to screening visit. - Fasting Plasma Glucose at screening >250 mg/dL (>13.9 mmol/l). - Body Mass Index ≤20 kg/m². - Weight change of more than 5 kg during the 3 months preceding the screening visit. - History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease. - History of metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis within 1 year prior to screening. - Hemoglobinopathy or hemolytic anemia, receipt of blood or plasma products within 3 months prior to the time of screening. - Within the last 6 months prior to screening: History of myocardial infarction or stroke. - Known history of drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to the time of screening. - Cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, endocrine disease, active malignant tumor or other major systemic disease or patients with short life expectancy making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult, history or presence of clinically significant diabetic retinopathy, history or presence of macular edema likely to require laser treatment within the study period. - Uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension at the time of screening with a resting systolic or diastolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or >95 mmHg, respectively. - Laboratory findings at the time of screening: AST, ALT or ALP: >2 times the upper limit of the normal laboratory range, Amylase and/or lipase: >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), Hemoglobin <11 g/dL and/or neutrophils <1,500/mm3 and/or platelets <100,000/mm3, Positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen and/or Hepatitis C antibody, Positive serum pregnancy test in females of childbearing potential. - Any clinically significant abnormality identified on physical examination, laboratory tests, ECG or vital signs at the time of screening that in the judgment of the investigator or any sub investigator would preclude safe completion of the study or constrains efficacy assessment. - Patients considered by the investigator or any sub investigator as inappropriate for this study for any reason (e.g. impossibility to meet specific proto requirements, such as scheduled visits, being able to do self-injections...). - Use of other oral or injectable antidiabetic or hypoglycemic agents other than metformin or pioglitazone (e.g., sulfonylurea, alpha glucosidase inhibitor, other thiazolidinediones, rimonabant, exenatide,...) within 3 months prior to the time of screening. - Use of systemic glucocorticoids (excluding topical application or inhaled forms) for 1 week or more within 3 months prior to the time of screening. - Use of any investigational drug within 3 months prior to screening. - Pregnancy, lactation. - Any previous treatment with AVE0010 or participation in a previous study with AVE0010.
• Related to background therapy (i.e. pioglitazone or metformin). - Renal impairment defined with Creatinine >1.4 mg/dL in women and Creatinine >1.5 mg/dL in men (applicable only for patients with metformin treatment). - Patients with cardiac failure or history of cardiac failure (New York Heart Association class I to IV)
• Exclusion criteria related to AVE0010 - End-stage renal disease defined by a serum Creatinine clearance of <15 mL/min and/or patients on dialysis, if no treatment with metformin. - Clinically relevant history of gastrointestinal disease associated with prolonged nausea and vomiting, including, but not limited to gastroparesis and gastroesophageal reflux disease requiring medical treatment, within 6 months prior to the time of screening. - Allergic reaction to any GLP-1 agonist in the past or to metacresol.
• Additional Exclusion criteria at the end of the run-in phase: - Informed consent withdrawal - Lack of compliance during the single-blind placebo run-in phase. - Patient with any AE, which, by the judgment of the investigator would preclude the inclusion in the study. |
