Summary

Primary Objective:

\- To compare lixisenatide versus insulin glulisine in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction and body weight change at Week 26 in type 2 diabetic participants not adequately controlled on insulin glargine ± metformin.

Secondary Objectives:

\- To compare the treatments/regimens on:

* The percentage of participants reaching the target of HbA1c \<7% or ≤6.5%,
* Body weight,
* Self-Monitored Glucose profiles,
* Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG),
* Post-prandial plasma glucose (PPG) /glucose excursions during a standardized meal test (subset of participants),
* Daily doses of insulins,
* Safety and tolerability.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Lixisenatide (AVE0010)

Pharmaceutical form: Solution for injection; Route of administration: Self-administered by subcutaneous injection 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast or dinner.

DRUG

Insulin glulisine QD

Pharmaceutical form: Solution for injection; Route of administration: Self-administered by subcutaneous injection within 15 minutes before breakfast or dinner. The initial dose was 3-5 units and then individually titrated to obtain the SMPG value \>5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) and ≤7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) before lunch (if administered at breakfast) or at bedtime (if administered at dinner).

DRUG

Insulin glulisine TID

Pharmaceutical form: Solution for injection; Route of administration: Self-administered by subcutaneous injection within 15 minutes before each meal. The initial dose was 3-5 units for each meal and then individually titrated to obtain the SMPG value \>5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) and ≤7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) before the next meal or at bedtime (for injection at dinner).

DRUG

Insulin Glargine (Mandatory background drug)

Pharmaceutical form: Solution for injection; Route of administration: Self-administered by subcutaneous injection at breakfast or dinner. Doses were adjusted to maintain a fasting self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) between 4.4 to 5.6 mmol/L (80 to 100 mg/dL).

DRUG

Metformin (Background drug)

Pharmaceutical form: Tablet; Route of administration: Oral administration. If previously taken, Metformin to be continued at stable dose (≥1.5 g/day) throughout the study.
