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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 demonstrate the noninferiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide 4 or 6 milligrams (mg) in comparison to once weekly injection of dulaglutide 1.5 mg on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from Baseline to Week 56 in subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with metformin.
    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 oral tablet administered as per the Investigator’s prescription. Dose was kept stable throughout the study.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study was conducted at 45 active sites in 4 countries. A total of 1608 subjects were screened between 26 September 2018 and 17 December 2019, out of which 700 were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to inclusion criteria not met.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    A total of 908 subjects were randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to either efpeglenatide 4 mg, efpeglenatide 6 mg, or dulaglutide 1.5 mg treatment arms, stratified by screening HbA1c values (less than [<]8%, greater than or equal to [>=]8 percent [%]) and by body mass index (BMI) (<30 kilogram per meter square [kg/m^2] and >=30 kg/m^2) on Day 1.

    End point description
    Adjusted Least square (LS) means and Standard errors (SE) were obtained from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model to account for missing data. Missing values were imputed by baseline observation carried forward (BOCF)-like multiple imputation method. Analysis was performed on modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population which included subjects who completed study treatment; or who discontinued study treatment and completed/discontinued study before early termination; or who discontinued treatment before early termination and discontinued study due to early termination; or who discontinued treatment due to early termination within 30 days of target Week 56 visit.

Analysis was performed on safety population which included subjects who received at least 1 dose or part of a dose of the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP), analyzed according to the treatment actually received. 10 subjects randomised to Efpeglenatide 6 mg received 4 mg dose for longer duration, and considered in the Efpeglenatide 4 mg group for safety analysis.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Adverse Events (AEs) were collected from signature of informed consent up to end of study. Time frame for reporting of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was from first dose up to 30 days after last injection of the IMP (Week 60).
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened during the treatment-emergent period. Analysis was performed on safety population. For safety analysis, subjects were included in the treatment group in which they were exposed for longer duration.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    31 Jul 2019
    Following changes were made: Post-dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling time changed from 4 days (±1 day) to 3 days (±1 day) in order to collect more PK data in the absorption phase. Sample collection time points (only in efpeglenatide treated subjects) had been clarified; sample collection time points had been specified to allow higher flexibility with regard to post-dose sample collection window in order to facilitate additional post-dose sampling. A preferred interval for PK post-dose sampling (between Week 8 and Week 12) was defined considering the balance between two requirements: PK steady state and limited risk of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) formation. The PK endpoint had been updated to remove the operational instruction language; clarified the general PK sampling process; clarified the site of administration; reflected the changes made in PK endpoint; clarified studied population; schedule of activities -footnote updated; clarified sampling requirements; clarified reference source of information; clarified definition of fasting for purpose of sample collection for glycemic parameters; clarification to include DTP, a new process regarding IMP dispensation in case of emergency; clarified measure to minimise bias: randomisation and blinding; clarified randomisation code breaking during the study; clarification for specific IMP return process for autoinjectors that functioned normally; schedule of assessments after permanent IMP discontinuation; clarified that review and reconciliation by the Investigators of subjects responses to PROMIS GI symptom scale was not needed; adverse event of diabetic retinopathy complications were reviewed as per current medical review process without an independent ophthalmologist expert review.

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    Study was terminated early by Sponsor on 09 September 2020. Due to early termination of study, model-based efficacy analyses were performed in mITT population instead of the ITT population originally planned and data was carefully considered.
