July 19, 2022 updated by: Eu Jeong Ku, Chungbuk National University Hospital

Efficacy and Safety of iGlarLixi Versus Insulin Glargine Plus Dulaglutide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Insufficiently Controlled by Insulin Glargine and Metformin Combination Therapy

The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Fixed-dose combinations of insulin glargine/lixisenatide (IGlarLixi) or insulin glargine plus dulaglutide constitute treatment intensification in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials. Treatments were compared in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) change from baseline, and variables from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system; in addition to safety issues on hypoglycemia and changes in weight.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: iGlar/Lixi

Switching to IGlarLixi from insulin glargine iGlar/Lixi starts with the following doses depending on the existing insulin glargine dose: 1) insulin glargine <20 unit/day = iGlar/Lixi 10 unit/day, 2) insulin glargine >=20 unit/day = iGlar/Lixi 20 unit/day.

Training to increase the iGlar/Lixi dosage every 3 days to meet the target fasting blood glucose level to 80~130 mg/day
Drug: IGlarLixi
Changing to iGlarLixi from insulin glargine
Active Comparator: Dulaglutide plus insulin glargine
Adding Dulaglutide to insulin glargine. Keep insulin glargine and dulaglutide start at 0.75 mg per week and increase to 1.5 mg per week after 1 month with evaluating compliance and tolerability.
Drug: Dulaglutide
Add dulaglutide to insulin glargine
Other Names:
  • Insulin Glargine

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
