Predictors of outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes in the lixisenatide GetGoal clinical trials.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To explore the treatment outcomes in adult patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) enrolled in the GetGoal trials of lixisenatide (LIXI), and the predictive effects of baseline characteristics on outcomes.

Methods

This study was a pooled analysis of patient-level data from the LIXI GetGoal studies comparing LIXI and placebo. Patients were divided into baseline therapy groups: those receiving oral antidiabetes drugs (OADs) at baseline (n = 2760) or those receiving basal insulin at baseline (n = 1198).

Results

Compared with placebo, LIXI treatment led to significantly greater reductions in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and greater achievement of the composite endpoint of HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) with no symptomatic hypoglycaemia and no weight gain in either the OAD (34% vs 18%; P < .0001) or the basal insulin groups (19% vs 10%; P < .0001). Treatment with LIXI was associated with a greater percentage of patients experiencing a symptomatic hypoglycaemic event compared with placebo in both the OAD (5% vs 3%; P = .0098) and basal insulin groups (27% vs 17%; P < .0001). In assessing baseline factors that were predictors of treatment outcomes, only baseline HbA1c and LIXI treatment were strong predictors of outcomes in both the OAD and basal insulin groups. No other baseline characteristic had such a large or consistent clinically relevant predictive effect across treatment outcomes.

Conclusions

The results from this study show that irrespective of baseline characteristics, LIXI treatment, as an add-on to OAD or basal insulin therapy, is effective in reducing HbA1c and achieving composite endpoints.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine the efficacy and safety of lixisenatide (20 μg once daily, administered before the morning or evening meal) as add-on therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes insufficiently controlled with metformin alone.Research design and methodsThis was a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 680 patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 7-10% [53-86 mmol/mol]). Patients were randomized to lixisenatide morning (n = 255), lixisenatide evening (n = 255), placebo morning (n = 85), or placebo evening (n = 85) injections.ResultsLixisenatide morning injection significantly reduced mean HbA1c versus combined placebo (mean change -0.9% [9.8 mmol/mol] vs. -0.4% [4.4 mmol/mol]; least squares [LS] mean difference vs. placebo -0.5% [5.5 mmol/mol], P < 0.0001). HbA1c was significantly reduced by lixisenatide evening injection (mean change -0.8% [8.7 mmol/mol] vs. -0.4% [4.4 mmol/mol]; LS mean difference -0.4% [4.4 mmol/mol], P < 0.0001). Lixisenatide morning injection significantly reduced 2-h postprandial glucose versus morning placebo (mean change -5.9 vs. -1.4 mmol/L; LS mean difference -4.5 mmol/L, P < 0.0001). LS mean difference in fasting plasma glucose was significant in both morning (-0.9 mmol/L, P < 0.0001) and evening (-0.6 mmol/L, P = 0.0046) groups versus placebo. Mean body weight decreased to a similar extent in all groups. Rates of adverse events were 69.4% in both lixisenatide groups and 60.0% in the placebo group. Rates for nausea and vomiting were 22.7 and 9.4% for lixisenatide morning and 21.2 and 13.3% for lixisenatide evening versus 7.6 and 2.9% for placebo, respectively. Symptomatic hypoglycemia occurred in 6, 13, and 1 patient for lixisenatide morning, evening, and placebo, respectively, with no severe episodes.ConclusionsIn patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin, lixisenatide 20 μg once daily administered in the morning or evening significantly improved glycemic control, with a pronounced postprandial effect, and was well tolerated.

Project description:Aims/introductionThis was a subanalysis of Japanese patients included in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist AVE0010 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for glycemic control and safety evaluation (GetGoal-S) study - a 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled study of lixisenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled by sulfonylurea with or without metformin.Materials and methodsIn GetGoal-S, 127 Japanese patients received the once-daily prandial glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist lixisenatide 20 μg/day or a matching placebo. The primary outcome was change in glycated hemoglobin.ResultsAt week 24, lixisenatide significantly reduced mean glycated hemoglobin (least squares mean difference vs the placebo -1.1% [12 mmol/mol, P < 0.0001]), and significantly more lixisenatide patients reached glycated hemoglobin targets of <7% (53 mmol/mol) and ≤6.5% (48 mmol/mol) vs the placebo. Lixisenatide produced statistically significant reductions in 2-h postprandial plasma glucose (least squares mean difference vs the placebo -8.51 mmol/L, P < 0.0001) and glucose excursion vs the placebo, and significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose (least squares mean difference vs the placebo -0.65 mmol/L, P = 0.0454). Bodyweight decreased with both lixisenatide and the placebo (least squares mean change -1.12 kg for lixisenatide, -1.02 kg for placebo). The overall incidence of adverse events was similar for lixisenatide and the placebo (84.2 and 82.4%, respectively), the most frequent being gastrointestinal disorders (52.6% for lixisenatide vs 29.4% for placebo). The incidence of symptomatic hypoglycemia was higher with lixisenatide vs the placebo (17.1 and 9.8%, respectively), with no cases of severe symptomatic hypoglycemia in either group.ConclusionsIn the Japanese subpopulation of the GetGoal-S study, lixisenatide produced a significant and clinically relevant improvement in glycated hemoglobin, with a pronounced improvement in postprandial plasma glucose, and a good safety and tolerability profile.
