Primary Objective:
- To assess the effects on glycemic control of lixisenatide in comparison to placebo as an add-on treatment to basal insulin with or without metformin in terms of HbA1c reduction over a period of 24 weeks in insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetic patients.
Secondary Objectives:
-
To assess the effects of lixisenatide over 24 weeks on :
- percentage of patients reaching HbA1c<7% or ≤6.5%,
- 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and plasma glucose (PG) excursions during standardized meal challenge test,
- fasting plasma glucose (FPG),
- change in 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profile),
- body weight,
- change in daily basal insulin dose.
- To assess lixisenatide safety and tolerability.
- To assess anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
