E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of sotagliflozin dose 1 compared to glimepiride on HbA1c (glycosylated A1c) reduction in patients with T2D (type 2 diabetes) who have inadequate glycemic control with metformin. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To demonstrate the superiority of sotagliflozin dose 1 compared to glimepiride on change in body weight, SBP (systolic blood pressure) in patients with baseline SBP ≥130 mmHg, SBP in all patients, and proportion of patients with at least 1 documented symptomatic hypoglycemic event (≤70 mg/dL).
-To demonstrate the superiority of sotagliflozin dose 1 compared to placebo on change in HbA1c, body weight, SBP in patients with baseline SBP ≥130 mmHg, SBP in all patients.
-To demonstrate the superiority of sotagliflozin dose 2 compared to placebo on change in HbA1c.
-To demonstrate the non-inferiority of sotagliflozin dose 2 compared to glimepiride on change in HbA1c.
-To demonstrate the superiority of sotagliflozin dose 1 compared to glimepiride on change in HbA1c.
-To evaluate the safety and tolerability of sotagliflozin compared to glimepiride and placebo. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Patients with Type 2 Diabetes treated with metformin at a stable dose ≥1500 mg/day or maximum tolerated dose (documented) for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening Visit; in case of documented lack of tolerance, metformin dose <1500 mg/day is acceptable, and the dose should be stable for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening Visit.
- Patient has given written informed consent to participate in the study in accordance with local regulations. |
|

-Body mass index ≤20 or >45 kg/m² at Screening.
-Pregnant (confirmed by pregnancy test at the Screening) or breast- feeding women.
-Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) not willing to use highly effective method(s) of birth control during the study treatment period and the follow-up period, or who are unwilling or unable to be tested for pregnancy (see Appendix A) during the study.
-Previous use of any antidiabetic drug other than metformin within 12 weeks preceding the Screening Visit.
-Use of a selective SGLT2 inhibitor (e.g., canagliflozin, dapagliflozin or empagliflozin) within 3 months prior to the Screening visit.

-Previous insulin use >1 month (at any time, except for treatment of gestational diabetes).
-History of prior gastric surgical procedure, including gastric banding, or inflammatory bowel disease within 3 years prior to the Screening Visit.
-Difficulty swallowing such that the patient cannot take the IMP.

-Mean of 3 separate blood pressure measurements >180 mmHg (SBP) or
>100 mmHg (DBP).
-History of hypertensive emergency within 12 weeks prior to Screening.
-Patients who have previously been randomized in any clinical trial of sotagliflozin/LX4211.
-Patients with severe renal disease as defined by an eGFR of <30 mL/min/1.73 m² at Screening, based on the 4 variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation (or according to the renal function restrictions of metformin use defined in the local approved label).
-Patients with severe anemia, severe cardiovascular (including congestive heart failure New York Heart Association IV), respiratory, hepatic, neurological, psychiatric, or active malignant tumor or other major systemic disease that, according to Investigator, will preclude their safe participation in this study, or will make implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult.
-Aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase: >3 times the upper limit of the normal laboratory range (ULN).
-Total bilirubin: >1.5 times ULN (except in case of Gilbert's syndrome).
-Patients who have taken other investigational drugs within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives from Screening whichever is longer.
-Patients unwilling or unable to perform self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), complete the patient diary, or comply with study visits and other study procedures as required per protocol.
-Patients with contraindication to glimepiride as per local labeling.
-Patients with contraindication to metformin as per local labeling. |
