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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 investigate the effect on glycaemic control after 26 weeks treatment of once weekly insulin 287 versus once daily insulin glargine both in combination with metformin with or without dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in insulin-naïve type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects inadequately treated with metformin with or without dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (64th WMA general assembly; Oct 2013) and ICH Good Clinical Practice, including archiving of essential documents (Nov 2016, current Step 4 version) and FDA 21 CFR 312.120.
    Background therapy
    Subjects were to continue their pre-trial metformin alone or in combination with Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) throughout the trial.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The trial was conducted at 49 sites in Canada (7), Czech Republic (9), Greece (5), Poland (6), Slovakia (6),Slovenia (2) and United States (14). One site in the United States screened, but didn’t randomise any subject.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Insulin-naïve subjects with T2D inadequately controlled on metformin with or without DPP4i were randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive once weekly insulin 287 and once daily placebo or once weekly placebo and once daily insulin glargine subcutaneously (s.c).

    Dosage and administration details
    Subjects were to receive once weekly s.c. injection of insulin 287 using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 70 units (U) and once daily placebo for 26 weeks. The insulin dose was then adjusted once weekly to reach the glycaemic target of 3.9-6.0 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) based on 3 pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on 2 previous days and on the day of the titration. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 3.0 mmol/L- dose reduced by 28 U, and 3.0-3.8- dose reduced by 14 U. Otherwise, the dose adjustment was based on the mean of SMPG values. If the mean was: 3.9-6.0 mmol/L- no adjustment; 6.1-7.0 mmol/L- dose increased by 14U, and >7.0 mmol/L- dose increased by 28U.

The insulin dose was then adjusted to reach the glycaemic target of 3.9-6.0 mmol/L based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on 2 previous days and on the day of the titration. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: < 3.0 mmol/L- dose reduced by 4 U, and 3.0-3.8 dose reduced by 2 U. Otherwise, the dose adjustment was based on the mean of SMPG values. If the mean was: 3.9-6.0 mmol/L- no adjustment; 6.1-7.0 mmol/L- dose increased by 2 U, and >7.0 mmol/L- dose increased by 4 U.

    Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
    End point description
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject administered or using a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or usage. A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date (or increase in severity) during the on-treatment observation period. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from on-treatment period, starting at the date of first dose of trial product, and ending at follow-up visit, or the last date on trial product + 5 weeks for once daily insulin and + 6 weeks for once weekly insulin. The safety analysis set (SAS) included all subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product or comparator.

    Hypoglycaemia alert value (level 1) was defined as episodes that were sufficiently low for treatment with fast-acting carbohydrate and dose adjustment of glucose-lowering therapy with plasma glucose value of equal to or above (>=) 3.0 and less than (<) 3.9 mmol/L (>= 54 and < 70 mg/dL) confirmed by BG meter.

    Anti-insulin 287 or glargine antibodies were classified as negative if % B/T was below a certain cut point. Samples positive for anti-insulin 287 or glargine antibodies were further tested for cross-reactivity to endogenous insulin. Samples not further tested are categorised as not applicable (NA). Unknown refers to samples with insufficient volume to perform analysis. The endpoint was evaluated based on the data from in-trial period, starting at randomisation, and ending at the last direct subject-site contact, or when subject withdrew their informed consent, or the last subject-investigator contact for subjects lost to follow-up, or death. The SAS included all subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product or comparator. The 'n' refers to number of subjects with sample available.

    Adverse events information
    Timeframe for reporting adverse events
    Week 0 to Week 31 Results are based on the SAS which included all subjects who received at least one dose of Insulin 287 or Insulin glargine. The SAS included all subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational product or comparator.
    Adverse event reporting additional description
    A TEAE was defined as an event that had onset date (or increase in severity) during the on-treatment observation period. The on-treatment observation period was the time period from 1st dose of trial product (week 0) until follow-up visit (week 31) or last date on trial product +5 weeks for once daily insulin and +6 weeks for once weekly insulin.
