Study summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate similarity in pharmacokinetics (PK) of SAR341402 and NovoLog after 4x4-week periods of alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog compared to 16-week continuous use of NovoLog in participants with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) also using insulin glargine.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To compare the effects of alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog with continuous use of NovoLog on immunogenicity.
  • To evaluate the safety of alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog versus continuous use of NovoLog.
  • To compare other PK parameters between the two treatment arms (alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog and continuous use of NovoLog).
Read the detailed description

The study duration per participant was less than 19 weeks (for participants who did not require the run-in period) and less than 31 weeks (for participants who require the run-in period).

Participant flow

Study was conducted at 31 active sites in the United States. A total of 279 participants were screened from 11 March 2019 to 30 Oct 2019, out of which 210 participants were randomized. Participants were randomized in 1:1 ratio to "switching arm" (NovoLog/SAR341402) and "non-switching arm" (NovoLog). Randomization was stratified by glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (less than \[\<\] 8.0 percent \[%\] and greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 8.0%) obtained at screening visit.
