Conditions: Impaired Glucose Tolerance
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 538
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
Purpose of the study:

* to assess the efficacy of Subetta in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance
* to assess the safety of Subetta in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance.

Detailed description:
Design: a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group randomized trial.

The study will enroll outpatients adults aged 18 to 70 years with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) who did not receive glucose-lowering agents previously. Persons with pre-diabetes, obesity (especially with visceral or abdominal obesity), dyslipidemia (with high triglycerides and/or low-density lipoproteins), hypertension, diabetes in first-degree relatives will be considered as potential candidates to participate in the study.

After the patient's information sheet and the form of informed consent for participation in the study are signed on the screening (visit 0; day from -7 to 0), complaints and history are collected, registration of concomitant conditions and diseases, objective examination, calculation of body mass index (BMI), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), fasting blood glucose. Furthermore, blood samples (for testing HbA1c, chemistry and hematology, HLA genotyping) and urine sample will be collected; concomitant therapy will be recorded, diet and physical activity recommendations will be given. All women of childbearing potential will be administered pregnancy tests.

If eligibility criteria are met and there are no non-inclusion criteria on Visit 1 (Day 1), the patient is randomized to one of two groups: the Subetta group (patients will take 2 tablets twice a day for 12 weeks) or placebo group (patients will take a placebo according to the scheme of Subetta for 12 weeks).

In the course of the study, two more visits in 4 (Visit 2) and 12 (Visit 3) weeks are planned, during these weeks complaints are recorded, a patient's examination is recorded, therapy compliance and safety are assessed. On Visit 3 OGTT, fasting blood glucose, blood samples (for HbA1c, chemistry and hematology) and urinalysis will be performed.

The duration of observation period shall be up to 13 weeks. During the study the treatment for underlying conditions will be allowed with the exception of the drugs indicated in the section "Prohibited concomitant therapy".

Arms:
arm 1: Tablet for oral use. 2 tablets twice daily. The tablets should be held in mouth until completely dissolved 15 min prior to meal. arm 2: Tablet for oral use. 2 tablets twice daily. The tablets should be held in mouth until completely dissolved 15 min prior to meal.

be carried out in accordance with ICH GCP, National Standard of the Russian Federation GOST 
52379-2005 "Good Clinical Practice", Helsinki Declaration of World Medical Association, 
relevant requirements of the regulatory authorities as well as the study procedures. 
Title of Study 
Multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled parallel-group randomized clinical trial of efficacy 
and safety of Subetta in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance. 
Phase: III 
Sponsor: OOO "NPF "MATERIA MEDICA HOLDING", Moscow, Russia 
Protocol No. MMH-SU-006 
Objective of the study 
 To assess efficiency and safety of Subetta in the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance1 
(IGT). 
Endpoints  
Primary endpoint 
1. Changes in 2-hour fasting plasma glucose (OGTT2) at 12 weeks versus baseline. 
Secondary endpoints 
1. Percentage of subjects with 2-hour plasma glucose <7.8 mmol/L after 12-week therapy. 
2. Changes in fasting plasma glucose at 12 weeks versus baseline.  
3. Changes in HbA1c at 12 weeks versus baseline. 
Safety assessment  
 Presence and nature of adverse events during the therapy, their intensity (severity), relation to 
the product, outcome 
 Percentage of patients with clinically relevant laboratory abnormalities after 12-week therapy 
 Changes in vital signs.  
                                               
1 Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is a condition characterized by plasma glucose concentration of 7.8 to 11.0 
mmol/L 120 min after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), with fasting plasma glucose <7.0 mmol/L. 
2 Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) should be carried out in the morning against regular diet and regular physical 
activity. The test should be preceded by an overnight fast (8-14 hours, water allowed). A carbohydrate-containing 
meal (30–50g) should be consumed on the evening before the test. Once fasting blood has been drawn, the patient 
should consume 75g anhydrous glucose (or 82.5g glucose monohydrate) in 250-300 ml water for 5 minutes. 
Smoking is prohibited during the test. Repeat blood samples are taken after 2 hours. Plasma glucose test will be 
made in central laboratory, therefore to avoid glycolysis and wrong results the blood should be collected into a tube 
containing preservative (sodium fluoride) provided by the sponsor.

mass index (BMI), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), fasting blood glucose. Furthermore, 
blood samples4  (for testing HbA1c, chemistry and hematology, HLA genotyping) and urine 
sample will be collected; concomitant therapy will be recorded, diet and physical activity 
recommendations will be given. All women of childbearing potential will be administered 
pregnancy tests.

Samples  
Total set: all patients included in the study who have signed Informed Consent Form for 
participation in the study. All AEs including those occurred prior to the study therapy will be 
considered throughout the study for this sample.  
Safety population:  all patients who received at least one dose of the study drug. This sample will 
be used for the study treatment safety and tolerability analyze, since all the AEs identified after 
the study drug administration will be recorded.    
Full Analysis Set. This sample includes all enrolled and randomized patients, except for those 
who met at least one of the following criteria: 
1) non-compliance with inclusion / exclusion criteria;  
2) the patient has not taken as minimum a single dose of the study drug; 
3) lack of any data of the patient after prescription of the study drug. 
This sample is the most consistent with the “Intention-to-treat” principle, will be used for 
the Intention-to-treat analysis (ITT analysis) of the the study therapy efficacy. 
Per protocol set. This sample includes all patients who completed the therapy as per the study 
protocol 
without 
any 
missing 
scheduled 
visits. This 
sample 
will 
be 
used 
for 
the Per Protocol analysis (PP- analysis) of the the study therapy efficacy. 
Per Protocol set will not include the patients whose data are completely or partially invalid for 
analysis due to a protocol deviation. 
Protocol deviations that lead to complete or partial data invalidity: 
1. Violation of visit schedule.  
2. Inappropriate distribution/supply of the study drug.

3. Administration of prohibited therapy.  
4. Increase or decrease ≥ 25% in the amount of the study therapy administered.  
5. Inability to assess the patient's compliance using the formula (e.g. loss of pack with the 
product).  
6. Major discrepancies between source documents and CRF detected during monitoring or 
another authorized check.  
7. Violation of the procedure for obtaining Informed consent.  
8. Non-compliance with the clinical study protocol procedures.  
9. Inability to collect all patient's data used for evaluation of the study endpoints (e.g. lack 
of entries in source documents required for verification of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 
safety and efficacy criteria).  
10. Other protocol deviations resulting in full or partial data invalidity. 
Evaluation of sample size 
The sample size has been assessed on the basis of the following rules and assumptions: 
1. Statistical provisions. 
1.1 
the power of the statistical tests “P = (1 - β )” is assumed to be 80% (the 
probability of correct rejection of the null hypothesis is 0.8); 
1.2 
the probability of a type I error “α” is allowed to be less than 5% (the probability 
of the erroneous acceptance of an alternative hypothesis is less than 0.05); 
1.3 
the statistical tests are 2-sided unless otherwise specified; 
1.4 
the calculation of the sample size is based on the assumptions about the expected 
effects, declared in the primary efficacy endpoint of the Protocol; 
1.5 
the ratio between the sample sizes of Subetta and Placebo groups is 1:1 (1 Subetta 
patient - 1 Placebo patient); 
1.6 
statistical hypotheses - null and alternative hypotheses on superiority of the study 
product over placebo under the dosing regimen used 
1.7 
one unblinded interim analysis on 50% sample was expected allowing to 
terminate the study both due to the effect confirmation (according to O'Brien-
Fleming) and due to acceptance of null hypothesis (Pocock). 
   a) primary endpoint: 
H0: Δµ1-Δµ2 = 0 
Ha: Δµ1-Δµ2 ≠ 0 
where Δµ1 - mean reduction (initial – final score) in Subetta group,  
Δµ2 – mean reduction (initial – final score) in Placebo group;

Page 11 of 14 
1.8    calculation of sample size for statistical criteria will be made using the following 
formula: 
n1 = kn2 
    
         
            
  
 
 
where n1, n2 is sample size in IP and placebo groups, respectively 
ε = Δµ1-Δµ2 is expected difference between mean reductions of value between 
Subetta and Placebo groups 
k – coefficient of Subetta/Placebo sample ratio (1 : 1) 
ϭ – standard deviation of reduction 
zα/2 – tabular value of two-sided z-test for α  
zβ – tabular value of one-sided z-test for β, R-coefficient taking into account 
interim analysis depending on the accepted functions of error and analysis 
position (in this design equal to 1.1334). 
1.9    terminal sample size was determined using the formula:  
NT=NPP/(1-Rw) 
where NT – terminal sample size 
NPP – result of calculation in cl. 1.8, i.e. scheduled number of subjects 
completing the study per protocol 
Rw – withdrawal rate. 
2.  Assumptions on expected clinical study effects: difference in reduction of 2-hour 
plasma glucose (at OGTT) between Product and Placebo groups will be no less than ε = 1.1 at 
standard deviation of σ = 3.11. 
A priori estimates for tested parameter variables in the groups: 
Primary endpoint: 
Changes in 2-hour fasting plasma glucose (OGTT) at 12 weeks vs. baseline. 
Placebo group: 
characteristics of 2-hour plasma glucose level (at OGTT) at the start of the study. 
SD=0.94 [39] 
After 3 months 
SD=2.3 [1.87; 2.987] [40] 
Change (3 m) –0.2 [–1; 0,6] [40]

Standard deviation of change in 3 months (in assumption of independence of scoring for

SDΔ~311. 
Study drug group: 
Based on interim study, change in glucose level in experimental group in 3 months was:  
Change (3 m) = 1.96 [1,7; 2,22] 
Let us take standard deviation of change in experimental group similar to control group.

Run; 
Therefore, the value of expected effect is rated as εΔ=1.1 mmol/L (the most conservative 
scoring) – the worst case for Subetta and the best for Placebo) at standard deviation σΔ=3.11 
mmol/L. Thus, sample size will be 143 subjects per study group. Taking into account the 
claimed withdrawal coefficient, this will require enrollment of 842 subjects.  
Therefore, overall size of the required sample will be 842 subjects ensuring the study 
completion per protocol by at least 286 subjects. 
Therefore, the sample size has been found to be (143) patients in each of the groups 
(Product and Placebo) to estimate superiority of the study drug over placebo.  
Taking into account potential withdrawal of at least 66% subjects7 (Cw=0.66) during the study 
for various reasons, at least 842 patients should sign PIS and ICF. 
Statistical criteria  
All statistical calculations will be performed using two groups of statistical criteria:  
 parametric – to obtain effective estimates for random parameters in case the relevant 
conditions of method/model applicability are not violated (e.g. sphericity, normality, 
risk proportionality, etc.);  
                                               
7 Based on blinded interim analysis.

CONFIDENTIAL  
 
Page 13 of 14 
 non-parametric – in all other cases. 
Parametric criteria 
The application of parametric criteria will be accompanied by a check of models for 
applicability (e.g. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Shapiro-Wilk test). 
The following parametric methods and approaches are to be used: 
1. To assess the differences of continuous variables obtained in one group at two 
different visits – Student t-test for paired samples. 
2. To assess the temporal dynamics of the compared values – analysis of variance 
(ANOVA) or covariance (ANCOVA) in the modification with repeated measures. 
3. In case of multiple comparisons between the groups will apply a variety of corrections 
for multiplicity Dunnett, Tukey, Scheffe, Holm adaptive test, etc. 
4. In case of abnormal data distribution, approaches with the Generalized Linear Models 
and /or Mixed Linear Models will be used.  
5. Selection of the type of distribution, clarification of the factor and covariance 
structures of the model is carried out with fit statistics such as AIC (Akaike  
 information criterion). 
To perform the above-mentioned statistical tests and techniques, it is assumed that the 
following SAS procedures are used:  
 
UNIVARIATE – check for normality of the compared distributions; 
 
CORR, MEANS – calculation of descriptive statistics; 
 
TTEST – Student t-test with all the modifications; 
 
GLM – analysis of Generalized Linear Models for studying temporal dynamics 
(ANOVA, ANCOVA); 
 
GENMOD – analysis of Generalized Linear Models. 
 
MIXED – analysis of Generalized Linear Models. 
Non-parametric criteria 
Below, there are the main types of possible comparisons with the respective criteria: 
1. To assess the dynamics of the compared indicators – Friedman test, non-parametric 
analogue of analysis of variance with repeated measures. 
2. For the frequency analysis of 2×2 cross tables – χ2-test (if the compared frequencies are 
greater than 5) or Fisher exact test (if one of the compared frequencies is less than 5). 
3. For the frequency analysis of cross tables with independent strata – Cochran–Mantel–
Haenszel test (modification of the χ2-test for multiple comparisons).

4. For the frequency analysis of data on the presence / absence of an event or outcome 
during repeated measures (cross tables with dependent strata) – survival analysis. 
To perform the above-mentioned non-parametric statistical analysis options, it is assumed that 
the following SAS procedures are used: 
 FREQ – Friedman test, χ 2-test and / or Fisher exact test; Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test 
   LIFETEST, PHREG – survival analysis  
   NPAR1WAY – Mann-Whitney U-test. 
Safety parameters  
Adverse events recorded during the study will be grouped into frequency tables by severity, 
seriousness and relationship with the study drug. 
Data presentation 
Descriptive statistics will be provided for each study continuous / interval variable. Statistic data 
will be presented by mean, standard deviation, min and max values. Comparisons suggesting 
statistical conclusion will have the relevant confidence intervals. Outliers will be analyzed 
individually. The data will be grouped by visits. The categorical variables will be presented as 
frequency tables by visits.
