Efficacy and Safety of the Insulin Glargine/Lixisenatide Fixed Ratio Combination (LixiLan) to Insulin Glargine Alone on Top of Oral Anti-diabetic Drugs (OADs) With Type 2 Diabetes in Japan

Summary

Primary Objective: To compare LixiLan to insulin glargine in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from baseline to Week 26 in patients with type 2 Diabetes. Secondary Objective: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of LixiLan to insulin glargine (with or without OADs) over a 26 Week treatment period in patients with type 2 Diabetes.
