E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To investigate the effect of the transition from multiple dose insulin regimen to the combination of insulin glargine and lixisenatide on metabolic control (HbA1c) in participants with T2DM during a 6-month intervention period. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• to assess the safety of both treatment regimes in relation to incidence and event-rates of hypoglycemia using multiple hypoglycaemia definitions (cut-off, timing) • to assess patients’ compliance (adherence to treatment and the recommended SMBG pattern) • to assess other parameters of metabolic compensation including fasting plasma glucose and mean postprandial plasma glucose (calculated from 3 postprandial values taken after 3 main meals of the day), glycaemic variability of self-monitored fasting blood glucose, time in designated target range measured with CGM etc. • to assess the effect of both treatment regimens on body weight • to assess the effect of MDI to IGlarLixi transition on quality of life, treatment burden and fear of hypoglycemia • to assess the effect of both treatment regimens on selected exploratory laboratory parapeters including levels of adipokines, markers of hepatic steatosis and markers of low-grade inflammation |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
