**Official Title:** A 56-week, Multicenter, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Efpeglenatide Once Weekly in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Diet and Exercise

**NCT ID:** [NCT03353350](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03353350)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Phase:** PHASE3
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 406
- **Lead Sponsor:** Hanmi Pharmaceutical Company Limited
- **Collaborators:** Sanofi
- **Conditions:** Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- **Start Date:** 2017-12-05
- **Completion Date:** 2020-09-07
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2022-01-18

## Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change in participants with T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) inadequately controlled with diet and exercise.

Secondary Objectives:

* To demonstrate the superiority of once-weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo on glycemic control
* To demonstrate the superiority of once-weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo on body weight
* To evaluate the safety of once-weekly injection of efpeglenatide

## Detailed Description

Study duration per participant is approximately 65 weeks, including a 3-week screening period, 30 weeks core treatment period, 26 weeks extension treatment period, and 6 weeks safety follow up.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion criteria:

* Participants must be at least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Participants with T2DM, and treated with diet and exercise.
* Hemoglobin A1c between 7.0% and 10.0% (inclusive) measured by the central laboratory at Screening.

Exclusion criteria:

* Clinically relevant history of gastrointestinal disease associated with prolonged nausea and vomiting, including (but not limited to) gastroparesis, unstable and not controlled gastroesophageal reflux disease within 6 months prior to Screening or history of surgery affecting gastric emptying.
* History of pancreatitis (unless pancreatitis was related to gallstone and cholecystectomy has been performed) and pancreatitis during previous treatment with incretin therapies, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatectomy.
* Personal or family history of Medullary Thyroidian Cancer (MTC) or genetic conditions that predisposes to MTC (eg multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
* Retinopathy or maculopathy with one of the following treatments, either recent (within 3 months of screening) or planned: intravitreal injections or laser or vitrectomy surgery.
* Body weight change of ≥5 kg within the last 3 months prior to Screening.
* Systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg at Randomization.
* End-stage renal disease as defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR , by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease \[MDRD\]) of \<15 mL/min/1.73 m2.
* Laboratory findings at the Screening Visit:
* Alanine aminotransferase (ALT ) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST ) \>3 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN ) or total bilirubin \>1.5 times the ULN (except in case of documented Gilbert's syndrome).
* Amylase and/or lipase: \>3 times the ULN laboratory range.
* Calcitonin ≥5.9 pmol/L (20 pg/mL).
* Gastric surgery or other gastric procedures intended for weight loss within 2 years prior to Screening, or planned during study period.
* History of drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to the time of Screening.
* Pregnant (demonstrated by serum pregnancy test at Screening) or breast-feeding women.
* Women of childbearing potential not willing to use highly effective method(s) of birth control during the study period and for at least 5 weeks after the last dose of study intervention.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
