Study summary

Primary Objectives:

  • Main study: To assess in overweight to obese subjects and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients not requiring anti-diabetic pharmacotherapy the safety and tolerability of 3 different dose escalation regimens of SAR425899 in terms of the relative and absolute frequency and severity of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs).
  • Six-month safety extension period: To assess the safety and tolerability of SAR425899 after 6 months treatment at the maximum dose that was individually well tolerated during the main part of the study in terms of the relative and absolute frequency and severity of GI AEs.

Secondary Objectives:

Main study and 6-month study extension period:

To assess in overweight to obese subjects and T2DM patients not requiring anti-diabetic pharmacotherapy:

  • The effect of once-daily dosing of SAR425899 on body weight (BW), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
  • Safety and tolerability.
Read the detailed description

Main study: The maximum study duration is approximately 12 weeks per patient (up-to 3-week screening period, 8-week treatment period, 3-day post treatment follow-up period).

Six-month study extension period: The maximum study duration is approximately 9 months (up-to 3-week screening period, 8-month treatment period, 3-day post treatment follow-up period).

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(8)

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.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Cohort 1

    Daily dose escalation (click-by-click): Starting at dose 1 in the morning with daily increments to dose 2. During the escalation phase, the dose will only be increased if the patient is feeling fine.

    Drug: SAR425899

  • Experimental
    Cohort 2

    Weekly dose escalation in 6 escalation steps (7 dose levels): Starting at dose 1 injected in the morning with weekly increments to dose 2. In case a dose level is not well tolerated by a patient, the treatment should continue at the same dose level for another 7 days before the next dose escalation.

    Drug: SAR425899

  • Experimental
    Cohort 3

    Weekly dose escalation in 4 escalation steps (5 dose levels): Starting at dose 3 with weekly increments to dose 2. In case a dose level is not well tolerated by a patient, the treatment should continue at the same dose level for another 7 days before the next dose escalation.

    Drug: SAR425899

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2018 to primary completion in Oct 2018, 8 months.

Of 453 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 11. This study's 8 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 515 studies reached it within 6 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 14.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 25, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
