Efficacy and Safety of Lixisenatide Versus Insulin Glulisine on Top of Insulin Glargine With or Without Metformin in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

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.
