Study summary

This study is a placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are either taking no diabetes medication or who are taking metformin only. This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Albiglutide (GSK716155) and will measure the levels of Albiglutide (GSK716155) in the bloodstream when it is given for 16 weeks. As a comparison, some subjects will receive exenatide instead of Albiglutide (GSK716155). The study will involve weekly visits for 17 weeks,and less frequent follow-up visits for an additional 10 weeks. Assessments include repeat blood sampling and monitoring of any side effects.

Read the detailed description

A 16-week, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple doses and multiple treatment regimens of Albiglutide (GSK716155) with Byetta as an open-label active reference, in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 16

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in HbA1c was calculated as the value at Week 16 minus the value at Baseline. Based on ANCOVA: Change = treatment + Baseline HbA1c + prior therapy + gender + region. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last valid observation recorded on treatment (scheduled or unscheduled) was used to impute the missing measurement. For participants who had missing observations before their last observation on treatment, the closest previous non-missing on-treatment observation was carried forward to missing visits. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 16

    The FLIE questionnaire is used to record the participant's feelings/opinions concerning the effects of nausea/vomiting on their quality of life during the past five days. Participants completed the questionnaire by responding to 18 questions. The first set of 9 questions refer to nausea, and the second set of 9 questions refer to vomiting. Each question is scored on a seven-point visual analog scale (1 to 7). On this scale, a score of 1 corresponds to 0 millimeters (mm), and a score of 7 correspond to 100 mm. Anything in between is marked at the appropriate point on the scale and is measured in mm. Data are reported in mm in this table. In FLIE questions (FLIEQ) 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17, a score of 1 indicates no effect on the quality of life, and a score of 7 indicates a great effect on the quality of life.

Outcome measures

PrimaryChange From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 16

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in HbA1c was calculated as the value at Week 16 minus the value at Baseline. Based on ANCOVA: Change = treatment + Baseline HbA1c + prior therapy + gender + region. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last valid observation recorded on treatment (scheduled or unscheduled) was used to impute the missing measurement. For participants who had missing observations before their last observation on treatment, the closest previous non-missing on-treatment observation was carried forward to missing visits. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in HbA1c at Weeks 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, and 16

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in HbA1c was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the value at Baseline. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last valid observation recorded on treatment (scheduled or unscheduled) was used to impute the missing measurement. For participants who had missing observations before their last observation on treatment, the closest previous non-missing on-treatment observation was carried forward to missing visits. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Fasting Glucagon at Weeks 5, 8, 12, and 16

Fasting glucagon levels were measured after the participant had not eaten (fasted) for at least eight hours prior to the sampling. The Baseline glucagon value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in glucagon was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. The LOCF method was used to impute missing data, in which the last valid observation recorded on treatment (scheduled or unscheduled) was used to impute the missing measurement. For participants who had missing observations before their last observation on treatment, the closest previous non-missing on-treatment observation was carried forward to missing visits. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Functional Living Index - Emesis (FLIE) Scores at Week 16

The FLIE questionnaire is used to record the participant's feelings/opinions concerning the effects of nausea/vomiting on their quality of life during the past five days. Participants completed the questionnaire by responding to 18 questions. The first set of 9 questions refer to nausea, and the second set of 9 questions refer to vomiting. Each question is scored on a seven-point visual analog scale (1 to 7). On this scale, a score of 1 corresponds to 0 millimeters (mm), and a score of 7 correspond to 100 mm. Anything in between is marked at the appropriate point on the scale and is measured in mm. Data are reported in mm in this table. In FLIE questions (FLIEQ) 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17, a score of 1 indicates no effect on the quality of life, and a score of 7 indicates a great effect on the quality of life. In FLIEQ 3, 6, 11, 15, and 18, a score of 1 indicates a great effect on the quality of life, and a score of 7 indicates no effect on the quality of life.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Response to Questions on the Hunger, Craving, and Fullness Questionnaire (HCFQ) at Week 16

The HCFQ questionnaire is used to record how often participants have felt hungry or craved food, and how full participants felt after finishing meals, on average, in the past week. Participants answered the following seven questions with the response that best described their feelings of hunger, craving, and fullness: Q1, "In the past week I was hungry"; Q2, "In the past week I thought about food"; Q3, "In the past week I wanted to eat"; Q4, "In the past week I ate more than I should have"; Q5, "In the past week, I craved specific food"; Q6, "In the past week when finished meals I felt full"; Q7, "In the past week when finished meals I felt satisfied."
