iglarlixi vs idegasp in chinese participants after oad(s)

Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Summary: this was a parallel-group treatment, phase 3, randomized, 2-arm study that assessed the efficacy and safety of iglarlixi to idegasp in chinese t2dm participants insufficiently controlled with oral antidiabetic drug(s). study details included: * study duration per participant: approximately up to 27 weeks * treatment duration: 24 weeks * visit frequency: after screening (an on-site visit), on-site or phone call visit every 1 week from randomization till week 4, every 2 weeks till week 12 and then every 3 weeks till week 24 (end of treatment). there were 14 visits that included 7 phone calls and 7 on-site visits in total during screening and treatment periods. there was a safety follow-up by a phone call visit (end of study) in 3 days after the last dose of the treatment. * health measurement/observation: change in hba1c as the primary endpoint. * intervention name: iglarlixi and idegasp * participant sex: male and female * participant age range: adults at least 18 years of age * condition/disease: type 2 diabetes mellitus

27 weeks

prisoners or participants who are legally institutionalized * participant not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by the investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or participants potentially at risk of noncompliance to study procedures * participants are employees of the clinical study site or other individuals directly involved in the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals (in conjunction with section 1.61 of the ich-gcp ordinance e6) * any specific situation during study implementation/course that may raise ethics considerations * sensitivity to any of the study interventions (insulin or, or components thereof, or drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicates participation in the study * participants who withdrawn consent at randomization or were lost to follow up at randomization visit. the above information was not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
