Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44335   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To assess the dose-response relationship of SAR425899 versus placebo in terms of glycemic control as measured by the change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to Week 26.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.
    Background therapy
    		 Metformin was orally administered at a stable dose of at least 1500 mg per day or at the maximal tolerated dose depending on the dose regimen which the subject was following prior to screening, unless a safety issue related to this medication occurred. Lifestyle and diet therapy followed before the screening were continued during the study, if applicable.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 The study was conducted at 59 centers in 8 countries. A total of 539 subjects were screened between 2 December 2016 and 2 June 2017, of whom, 245 subjects were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to exclusion criteria met. The study was double-blind for SAR425899 vs placebo and open-label for active comparator liraglutide.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 A total of 296 subjects were randomized and treated in the study. Randomization was stratified by HbA1c at the screening visit (<8% vs >=8%) and body mass index (BMI) (<35.0 kg/m^2 vs >=35.0 kg/m^2) at Day 1 (start of investigational medicinal product [IMP] administration).

    End point description
    Waist circumference was measured at the midpoint between the lower margin of the least palpable rib and the top of the iliac crest, using a stretch-resistant tape providing a constant 100 g tension. Hip circumference was measured around the widest portion of the buttocks, with the tape parallel to the floor. Each measurement was repeated twice; if the measurements were within 1 cm of one another, the average was calculated, and if the difference exceeded 1 cm, the measurements were repeated. Analysis was performed on ITT population.
