To assess the effects of taspoglutide versus insulin glargine on body weight and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (lipid profile) after 24 weeks. To assess the safety and the tolerability of taspoglutide versus insulin glargine after 24 weeks. To assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide of taspoglutide versus insulin glargine after 52 weeks. To describe the pharmacokinetics of taspoglutide using a population PK approach including the influence of covariates on the PK parameters of taspoglutide after 24 weeks |

FARMACOGENETICA: Versione:01 Data:2008/07/03 Titolo:Roche Sample Repository Research Project in association with protocol BC20965: A multi-center, randomized, open label, active-comparator controlled study to compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide (RO5073031) versus insulin glargine in insulin-naive type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled with metformin plus sulphonylurea combination therapy Obiettivi:To obtain a single blood sample from consenting patients enrolled in associated study BC20965 for pharmacogenetic and genetic research analysis.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Men and women aged 18 - 75 years at screening. Women of childbearing potential using two medically approved birth control methods (e.g. hormonal contraceptives, IUD, barrier contraception) must be willing to use the same methods of contraception during the whole course of the study. 2. Type 2 diabetic patients treated with a stable dose of metformin and sulphonylurea (including immediate or extend-release fixed combination) for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. The dose of metformin must be ≥ 1500 mg/day (or individual maximally tolerated dose), but no more than the maximum dose specified in the label; sulphonylurea can be at any dose. 3. Agreement that the sulphonylurea treatment must be stopped 5 days (+/- 1 day) before the start of the treatment period (Day 1). 4. HbA1c: ≥ 7.0% and ≤ 10% at screening. 5. Body mass index (BMI) > 25 (> 23 for Asians) and ≤ 45 kg/m2 at screening. 6. Stable weight ± 5% for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. 7. Fasting serum C-peptide > 1 ng/ml. 8. Agreement to maintain prior diet and exercise habits during the full course of the study. 9. Ability and willingness to give written informed consent and to comply with the requirements of the study. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Women who are pregnant, intending to become pregnant during the study period or currently lactating females. 2. Diagnosis of or history of: Type 1 diabetes, diabetes resulting from pancreatic injury, or secondary forms of diabetes, e.g. acromegaly and Cushings syndrome; Acute metabolic diabetic complications, such as ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma within the past 6 months. 3. Evidence of clinically significant diabetic complications. 4. Diagnosed proliferative diabetic retinopathy. 5. Clinically symptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) disease including -but not limited to- inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, diabetic gastroparesis. 6. History of gastric bypass or antrectomy, or small bowel resection. 7. History of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis. 8. More than 3 episodes of severe hypoglycemia (defined as requiring assistance by another person) within 6 months prior to screening. 9. History of hypoglycemia unawareness. 10. Myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery bypass surgery, posttransplantation cardiomyopathy (PTCM) or stroke within 6 months prior to screening. 11. Any abnormality in clinical laboratory tests or ECG, which precludes safe involvement in the study as judged by the Investigator. 12. Clinically relevant QTc prolongation (e.g. QTc > 480 ms), family history of Long QT Syndrome, or concomitant use of Class I antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g. disopyramide, quinidine, procainamide, mexiletine, flecainide, propafenone). 13. Diagnosed and/or treated malignancy (except basal cell skin cancer, in situ carcinoma of the cervix, or in situ prostate cancer) within the past 5 years. 14. Known hemoglobinopathy or chronic anemia. 15. Donation of one unit (500 ml) or more blood, significant blood loss equaling to at least one unit of blood within the past 2 weeks or a blood transfusion within the past 8 weeks. 16. Any concurrent medical condition/disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator is likely: to interfere with the patients ability to complete the entire study period or to participate in all aspects of the trial; to require, during the study, the administration of a treatment that would affect the interpretation of the efficacy and safety data. 17. Contraindications and warnings according to the country specific label information for metformin and insulin glargine not listed in the other exclusion criteria. 18. Known hypersensitivity to metformin or insulin glargine or any of their components. Etc. |
