Study summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate safety of 14-day repeated lixisenatide doses with 3 ascending doses as compared to placebo in pediatric patients with T2DM.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To evaluate plasma concentrations of lixisenatide after repeated doses (3 ascending doses) and pharmacokinetic parameters of repeated lixisenatide doses in pediatric patients with T2DM.
  • To evaluate the change from baseline in fasting and post-prandial plasma glucose concentrations during a standardized meal test after 3 ascending repeated doses of lixisenatide in comparison to placebo.
Read the detailed description

The total study duration will be up to 10 weeks that includes a 6-week treatment period with dose escalation every 2 weeks.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female patients aged ≥10 and \<18 years old (at least 4 patients below 16 years old).
  • (BMI) >85th percentile for age and gender; BMI ≤50 kg/m2.
  • Male and female patients with documented T2DM insufficiently controlled with metformin at a stable dose and regimen for 8 weeks prior to randomization and/or basal insulin at stable dose (± 20%) and regimen for 8 weeks prior to randomization. The exact individual metformin dose will be selected according to local regulation and to the investigator's medical judgment.
  • (HbA1c) >6.5% and ≤11% at screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  • If female, ongoing pregnancy (defined as positive serum pregnancy test), breast-feeding.
  • Sexually active postmenarchal female patient who does not agree to use an adequate and highly effective method of throughout the study duration and according to local regulation (ie, hormonal contraception, condom, etc.).
  • Diabetes other than T2DM.
  • Fasting plasma glucose >250 mg/dL (>13.9 mmol/L) at screening.
  • Use of other oral or injectable antidiabetic or hypoglycemic agents other than metformin and basal insulin (eg, alpha glucosidase inhibitor, glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors, short-acting insulin etc.) within 1 month prior to the screening visit.
  • History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
