Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary objectives of the ORIGIN study were:
  • To determine whether insulin glargine-mediated normoglycemia can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and/or mortality in people at high risk for vascular disease with either Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG), Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) or early type 2 diabetes;

  • To determine whether omega-3 fatty acids can reduce cardiovascular mortality in people with IFG, IGT or early type 2 diabetes.

The secondary objectives of the insulin glargine study were to determine if insulin glargine-mediated normoglycemia can reduce:

  • total mortality (all causes);

  • the risk of diabetic microvascular outcomes;

  • the rate of progression of IGT or IFG to type 2 diabetes.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: insulin glargine (HOE901)
  • Drug: omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
  • Drug: placebo
  • Device: reusable pen device for insulin injection
Phase 3

Detailed Description

The ORIGIN study was conducted by the Population Health Research Institute in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada), working in conjunction with the sponsor, and an independent Steering Committee.

Routine visits were to occur at 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks following randomization, then every four months for the rest of the study, for all participants

The duration of the study was based on the number of events observed (event-driven study) and was originally planned to be 5 years. In 2008-2009 ORIGIN's follow-up was extended by approximately 2 years, because of published literature of completed studies suggesting that a longer period of effective glycemic contrast between treatments might be needed to see an effect on cardiovascular events.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Composite of the First Occurrence of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Nonfatal Stroke [from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      Number of participants with a first occurrence of one of the above events. The outcome's evaluation is based on the number of such positively-adjudicated first events occurring for patients assigned to the study groups. Assessments of the above events were reviewed by the Event Adjudication Committee who was kept blinded to the group assignment of participants. Statistical analysis is performed on the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the events. Number of participants with a composite endpoint (i.e. with first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal MI or nonfatal stroke) is provided in the first row of the statistical table.

    2. Composite of the First Occurrence of Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), Nonfatal Stroke, Revascularization Procedure or Hospitalization for Heart Failure (HF) [from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      Number of participants with a first occurrence of one of the above events (revascularization procedures included coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) i.e. balloon, PTCA with stent, other percutaneous intervention, carotid angioplasty with/without stent, carotid endarterectomy, peripheral angioplasty with or without stent, peripheral vascular surgery, and limb amputation due to vascular disease). The outcome's evaluation is based on the number of such positively-adjudicated first events occurring for patients assigned to the study groups. Assessments of the above events were reviewed by the Event Adjudication Committee who was kept blinded to the group assignment of participants. Statistical analysis is performed on the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the events. Number of participants with a composite endpoint (i.e. with first occurrence of the events) is provided in the first row of the statistical table.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Total Mortality (All Causes) [from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      Number of deaths due to any cause

    2. Composite Diabetic Microvascular Outcome (Kidney or Eye Disease) [from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      The composite outcome used to analyze microvascular disease progression contained components of clinical events: the occurrence of laser surgery or vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy (DR); the development of blindness due to DR; the occurrence of renal death or renal replacement therapy; as well as the following laboratory-based events: doubling of serum creatinine; or progression of albuminuria (from none to microalbuminuria [at least 30 mg/g creatinine], to macroalbuminuria [at least 300 mg/g creatinine]).

    3. Incidence of Development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Participants With IGT and/or IFG [from randomization until the last follow-up visit or last OGTT (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      The incidence was determined by calculating the proportion of randomized participants without diabetes at randomization who either developed diabetes during the study or who were classified as having possible diabetes based on results of two oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) performed after the last follow-up visit (within 21-28 days for OGTT#1 and within 10-14 weeks for OGTT#2).

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Patients With Various Types of Symptomatic Hypoglycemia Events [on-treatment period (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      Symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia, based on data recorded in the participant's diary. These were further categorized as confirmed (ie, with a concomitant home glucose reading ≤54 mg/dL [≤3.0 mmol/L]) or unconfirmed. Severe hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia in which the participant required the assistance of another person, and one of the following: the event was associated with a documented self-measured or laboratory plasma glucose level ≤36 mg/dL (≤2.0 mmol/L), or the event was associated with prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration.

    2. Number of Patients With First Occurrence of Any Type of Cancer [from randomization until study cut-off date (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)]

      Data on cancers that occurred in association with hospitalizations were collected systematically in both groups from the start of the study. All reported cancers occurring during the trial (new or recurrent) were adjudicated by the Event Adjudication Committee.

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Insulin Glargine, Standard Care
    Comments The total required number of first coprimary outcomes (2200) assumed that a hazard reduction of 14-16% was clinically significant and controlled the overall experiment-wise Type 1 error at 5% with a power of 80% for each outcome. The total number of participants needed to achieve this number of events within the planned enrollment and treatment periods was ultimately estimated to be 12 500 based on the CURE and HOPE study databases.

    6. Other Pre-specified Outcome
    Title Number of Patients With Various Types of Symptomatic Hypoglycemia Events
    Description Symptomatic hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia, based on data recorded in the participant's diary. These were further categorized as confirmed (ie, with a concomitant home glucose reading ≤54 mg/dL [≤3.0 mmol/L]) or unconfirmed. Severe hypoglycemia was defined as an event with clinical symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia in which the participant required the assistance of another person, and one of the following: the event was associated with a documented self-measured or laboratory plasma glucose level ≤36 mg/dL (≤2.0 mmol/L), or the event was associated with prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, intravenous glucose, or glucagon administration.
    Time Frame on-treatment period (median duration of follow-up: 6.2 years)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The population analyzed was the safety population consisting of all randomized and treated patients (who received at least one dose of study drug) for the insulin glargine group and of all randomized patients for the standard care group.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse events (AEs) were assessed through the study. The median duration of follow-up was 6.2 years.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Aside from hypoglycemia and cancer, serious AEs were only captured if the event was considered related to a study drug. Non-serious AEs were only captured if the event resulted in some modification (suspension, alteration or cessation) in the dose of a study drug. This creates a bias for the comparison between insulin glargine and standard care.
