History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of saxagliptin with those of placebo as add-on therapy to insulin and insulin with metformin in improving glycemic control at 24 and 52 weeks.


Condition Intervention Phase
Type 2 Diabetes
 Drug: Saxagliptin, 5 mg + insulin
Drug: Placebo + insulin
 Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Saxagliptin Added to Insulin Monotherapy or to Insulin in Combination With Metformin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Insulin Alone or on Insulin in Combination With Metformin

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in A1C Levels (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF]) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline: post-pre. Adjusted for baseline (value and metformin use). ANCOVA model: difference between week t and baseline values=baseline values + treatment + metformin use


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline in Postprandial Glucose (PPG) Area Under the Curve (AUC) Response to an Meal Tolerance Test (MTT) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    An MTT is a 2-part test that measures glucose and insulin levels after an overnight fast and before ingesting a meal consisting of a nutritional drink and power bar and again at prespecified times (30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes) after the start of ingestion of the meal

  • Change From Baseline in 120-minute PPG Values During an MTT [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    An MTT is a 2-part test that measures glucose and insulin levels after an overnight fast and before ingesting a meal consisting of a nutritional drink and power bar and again at prespecified times (30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes) after the start of ingestion of the meal.

  • Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose Values [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of Participants Achieving a Therapeutic Glycemic Response [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Therapeutic glycemic response is defined as an A1C<7%. Significance was not interpreted with a p value.

  • Change From Baseline in Mean Total Daily Dose of Insulin (MTDDI) (LOCF) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Based on information recorded in the participant's daily diary. The MTDDI was calculated at every visit using the values patients recorded since the last regularly scheduled visit (minimum of 80% of days with a value). At every visit, the MTDDI was compared with the participant's baseline MTDDI (measured during a 4-week lead-in period) to identify any changes in insulin use at that visit compared with insulin use at baseline.
