| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| To demonstrate that lixisenatide can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina) compared to placebo in type 2 diabetic patients who recently experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event |  | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | 
| To demonstrate that when compared to placebo, lixisenatide can reduce: .  composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or hospitalization for heart failure
 .  composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, or coronary revascularization procedure
 .  urinary albumin excretion (based on the urinary albumin /creatinine ratio).
 .  To assess the safety and tolerability of lixisenatide.

| E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives | 
| Title: Patient Reported Outcomes Date: 2 December 2010, Version 1
 Objective: to assess the effect of Lixisenatide (vs. placebo) on overall and cardiovascular health of the patients as reported by patients in response to the questionnaires
 |  | 
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria | 
| . Men and women who experienced a spontaneous acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event [i.e., ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)] or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) or unstable angina (USA)] with a documented elevation above the normal reference range of a cardiac biomarker (Troponin or CK-MB) and the clinical presentation consistent with an acute coronary syndrome which leads to admission to an acute care facility, within 180 days following the ACS event and prior to screening. . Patients with a history of type 2 diabetes (for patients newly diagnosed, diagnosis will be based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria: i.e., either a fasting venous plasma glucose concentration ≥ 7.0 mmol/L [126 mg/dL] or 2-hour post glucose load venous plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L [200 mg/dL], confirmed on 2 occasions) prior to the screening visit.
 
 |  | 
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria | 
| . Type 1 diabetes mellitus or history of ketoacidosis within 6 months prior to screening. . HbA1c <5.5 % or >11% measured at screening Visit (1 retest within a week of receipt of the result is permitted with the result of the last sample being decisive).
 . Required to use incretin-based agents (eg, GLP-1 agonists or DPP-4 inhibitors) other than the study drug during the doubleblind treatment period.
 . Patients who have undergone CABG surgery following the qualifying ACS event.
 . Patients who have undergone PCI within 15 days prior to screening.
 . Patients with planned revascularization procedure (PCI or CABG) or coronary angiogram within 90 days after screening visit.
 . History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), or genetic conditions that predisposes to MTC (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
 . Any clinically significant abnormality identified at the time of screening that in the judgment of the Investigator or any sub-Investigator would preclude safe completion of the study or constrain endpoints assessment such as major systemic diseases.
