E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To assess and compare the efficacy of three doses of HM11260C (once monthly dosing) versus placebo on glycaemic control as assessed by the change in HbA1c over the 16 weeks from baseline in subjects with T2DM receiving a stable dose of metformin |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To assess and compare the safety and tolerability of HM11260C vs placebo
• To assess and compare HM11260C antibody formation
• To assess and compare the effect on overall diabetes-related parameters (fasting plasma glucose [FPG], 7-point blood glucose profile, fasting insulin, C peptide, glucagon and glycated albumin) of HM11260C versus placebo over the 16 weeks from baseline
• To assess and compare the effect on body weight of HM11260C vs placebo over the 16 weeks from baseline
• To assess and compare the effect on the lipid profile (low density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] and triglyceride [TG]) of HM11260C versus placebo over the 16 weeks from baseline
• To determine the PK of HM11260C to explore the exposure-response relationship between HM11260C concentrations and pharmacodynamic (PD) measurements by a PK/PD modelling analysis. Graphical exploration of the exposure-response relationship will be performed, as appropriate |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Aged ≥ 18 and < 75 years
2. T2DM for at least 3 months
3. Taking a stable dose of metformin monotherapy for at least 3 months prior to screening; the following minimum stable dose requirements apply:
a) ≥1500 mg/day of metformin or
b) maximum tolerated dose (the investigator must have documented why up-titration to e.g. ≥ 1500 mg/day was not possible) or
c) maximum dose according to the country-specific label.
4. HbA1c levels of between ≥ 7.0% and ≤ 10%, at screening
5. BMI of < 40 kg/m2 at screening
6.

Childbearing potential is defined as women who have not been surgically sterilised 6 weeks prior to screening or who are post-menopausal ≤ 1 year.
A highly effective method of birth control is considered to be one of the following:
a) An oral or implanted hormonal method of contraception (if it has been used for ≥ 3 months prior to study drug administration), while also using a barrier method (i.e., a condom or a diaphragm);
b) A hormone or copper intrauterine device if it has been in place for ≥ 3 months prior to study drug administration (subjects using a nonhormonal or copper intrauterine device should also use a barrier method [i.e., a condom or a diaphragm]);
c) A vasectomised partner;
d) Total abstinence is acceptable; however, the subject must use a highly effective method of contraception if the subject subsequently decides not to abstain.
7. Male subjects whose partners are females of child-bearing potential must agree to practice highly effective birth control methods (condom and spermicide) during the conduct of the study and for at least 30 days after Visit 15/ET visit.
8. Written informed consent must be obtained before any study-related assessment is performed. |

The primary variable is HbA1c levels, from samples collected at screening, before dosing on Days 1, 15, 29, 57, and 85 of the treatment period, and at the follow-up visits on Days 113 and 155.
