Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Glargine/ Lixisenatide Fixed Ratio Combination Compared to Insulin Glargine Alone and Lixisenatide Alone on Top of Metformin in Patients With T2DM

Summary

Primary Objective: To compare the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination to lixisenatide alone and to insulin glargine alone (on top of metformin treatment) in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from baseline to Week 30. Secondary Objective: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination (FRC) to insulin glargine alone and to lixisenatide alone (on top of metformin treatment) over a 30 week treatment period in participants with type 2 diabetes.
