Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Glargine/Lixisenatide Fixed Combination Versus Insulin Glargine Alone on Top of Metformin in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Summary

Primary Objective: * The purpose of this study was to compare insulin glargine/ lixisenatide fixed ratio combination (FRC) versus insulin glargine on glycemic control over 24 weeks, as evaluated by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction in type 2 diabetic participants treated with metformin. Secondary Objectives: * To compare insulin glargine/lixisenatide FRC versus insulin glargine over 24 weeks on: * Glycemic control in relation to a meal as evaluated by post-prandial plasma glucose and glucose excursions during a standardized meal test; * Percentage of participants reaching HbA1c \<7% or ≤6.5%; * 7-point Self-Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG) profile; * Body weight; * Insulin glargine dose * Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG); * Percentage of participants requiring rescue therapy during the 24-week open label treatment period; * To assess safety and tolerability of insulin glargine/lixisenatide FRC.
