Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: LY2963016
Insulin naive participants started on 10 units (U) LY2963016 given subcutaneously (SC) once a day (QD) for 24 weeks. Participants entering the study on LANTUS®, insulin detemir or neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) QD will begin the study at their current dose SC. Participants will self titrate LY2963016 based on fasting blood glucose (FBG). Participants entering on insulin detemir or NPH twice a day will be started at 80% of the total daily dose SC. Participants will continue oral antihyperglycemic medication (OAM).
Administered SC
Administered as per standard-of-care.
Active Comparator: LANTUS®
Insulin naive participants started on 10 U LANTUS® given SC QD for 24 weeks. Participants entering the study on LANTUS®, insulin detemir or NPH QD will be started at the same dose SC. Participants entering on insulin detemir or NPH twice a day will be started at 80% of the total daily dose SC. Participants will self titrate LANTUS® based on FBG. Participants will continue OAM.
Administered as per standard-of-care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to 24 Weeks in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.

Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline of response, treatment (LY2963016, LANTUS), pooled country, basal insulin at entry (yes/no), sulfonylurea (SU) use (yes/no), visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.

Baseline, 24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With HbA1c <7% and ≤6.5%
Time Frame: Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
Change From Baseline in 7-point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Values
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
Seven-point SMBG are completed at the following timepoints: Before Morning Meal, 2 Hours After Morning Meal, Before Mid-Day Meal, 2 Hours After Mid-Day Meal, Before Evening Meal, Bed Time and 03:00 AM hours. Least Squares (LS) means was determined by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) methodology with baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, basal insulin status at study entry, visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.
Baseline, Week 24
Intra-Participant Variability in Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG)
Time Frame: Week 24
Fasting blood glucose (FBG) is a test to determine how much glucose (sugar) is in a blood sample after an overnight fast. Intra-Participant FBG variability was calculated based on the standard deviation (SD) of the morning pre-meal BG value. Least Squares (LS) means was determined by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) methodology with baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, basal insulin status at study entry, visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.
Week 24
Basal Insulin Dose Units Per Day
Time Frame: Week 24
Units of Basal Insulin dose taken per day (U/day). Least Squares (LS) means was determined by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) methodology with baseline of response, baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, basal insulin status at study entry, visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.
Week 24
Basal Insulin Dose Per Body Weight (U/kg/Day)
Time Frame: Week 24
Basal Insulin dose in units (U) per body weight in kilograms (kg) per day. Least Squares (LS) means was determined by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) methodology with baseline of response, baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, basal insulin status at study entry, visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.
Week 24
Change From Baseline to 24 Weeks in Body Weight
Time Frame: Baseline, 24 Weeks
Change from baseline in body weight. Least Squares (LS) means was determined by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) methodology with baseline of response, baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, basal insulin status at study entry, visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.
Baseline, 24 Weeks
Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ITSQ) Score
Time Frame: Week 4 and Week 24
ITSQ is a validated instrument containing 22 items that assess treatment satisfaction for participants with diabetes and on insulin. Items divided into 5 domains of satisfaction: Inconvenience of Regimen [(IR) 5 items: domain scores range (DSR) 5-35], Lifestyle Flexibility [(LF) 3 items: DSR 3-21], Glycemic Control [(GC) 3 items: DSR 3-21], Hypoglycemic Control [(HC) 5 items: DSR 5-35], Insulin Delivery Device [(IDD) 6 items: DSR 6-42]. All items measured on a 7-point scale: 1 (no bother at all) to 7 (a tremendous bother), with lower scores reflecting better outcomes. ITSQ Total Overall Raw Scores range from 22-154. Both raw domain and overall scores are transformed on a scale of 0-100, where transformed score=100*[(7-mean raw score)/6]. Higher scores indicate better treatment satisfaction. LS means was determined by MMRM with baseline of response, baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, basal insulin status at study entry, visit, treatment and visit*treatment in the model.
Week 4 and Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Detectable Anti-Drug Antibodies to LY2963016 or LANTUS®
Time Frame: Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
The percentage of participants with detected insulin antibodies were summarized as counts and percentages at baseline, at each visit, at the 24-week endpoint (LOCF), and overall for the 24-week treatment period.
Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
Rate of Hypoglycemic Events Adjusted Per 1 Year
Time Frame: Baseline through Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
The rate of hypoglycemic events were analyzed at baseline, titration, maintenance, and overall study periods and at endpoint using the Wilcoxon test. In addition, a negative binomial model was used as a sensitivity analysis. A hypoglycemic event is defined as any time a participant has a blood glucose (BG) level of ≤70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) even if the event was not associated with signs, symptoms, or treatment consistent with current guidelines (American Diabetes Association 2005). Nocturnal hypoglycemia is defined as any hypoglycemic event that occurs between bedtime and waking. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as a hypoglycemic event requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrates, glucagons, or other resuscitative actions. Severe Hypoglycemic events may or may not have a reported BG ≤70 mg/dL. These events may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma.
Baseline through Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
Percentage of Participants With Hypoglycemic Events
Time Frame: Endpoint [up to 24 weeks]
The percentage of participants (with at least 1 hypoglycemic event (total, severe, nocturnal, and others) or incidence during the study was analyzed using Fisher's exact test. A hypoglycemic event is defined as any time a participant has a blood glucose (BG) level of ≤70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) even if the event was not associated with signs, symptoms, or treatment consistent with current guidelines (American Diabetes Association 2005). Nocturnal hypoglycemia is defined as any hypoglycemic event that occurs between bedtime and waking. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as a hypoglycemic event requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrates, glucagons, or other resuscitative actions. Severe Hypoglycemic events may or may not have a reported BG ≤70 mg/dL. These events may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma.
