Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to compare the benefits and risks associated with the use of 2 treatment strategies to lower blood sugar in participants aged 65 and older with T2DM. One strategy is based on the use of oral and injectable medications that only reduce blood sugar (glucose) when it is high. The other strategy is based on non-glucose dependent agents. The trial will last up to 72 weeks for each participant.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Strategy A (Glucose-Dependent)

Participants may receive oral and injectable (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists [GLP-1 RA]) therapies that exert a glucose-dependent mode of action. Medications allowed in this arm include: metformin, pioglitazone, acarbose, linagliptin, sitagliptin, liraglutide, exenatide once weekly (QW), and exenatide twice daily (BID). Choice of therapy is based on investigator's discretion. Treatment used in label. Treatment may last up to 72 weeks.

Active Comparator: Strategy B (Reference)

Participants will receive glimepiride and may receive basal insulin glargine as a first line injectable therapy. Medications allowed in this arm include: glimepiride, metformin, pioglitazone, acarbose, linagliptin, sitagliptin and basal insulin glargine. Choice of therapy is based on investigator's discretion. Treatment used in label. Insulin glargine is titrated according treatment algorithm. Treatment may last up to 72 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving and Maintaining Individualized Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Targets Without Clinically Significant Hypoglycemia [Baseline to last participant visit (up to 72 weeks)]

    Failed to reach and maintain HbA1c target, without clinically significant hypoglycemia, is defined as having 2 consecutive HbA1c > upper limit of HbA1c target over 12 weeks starting from Week 24 for participants with HbA1c data beyond Week 24, or Week 24 HbA1c > upper limit of HbA1c target for participants without HbA1c data beyond Week 24. Clinically significant hypoglycemia is defined as any severe hypoglycemia or repeated hypoglycemia interrupting participants activities or sleep and associated with blood glucose ≤3.9 millimole per liter (mmol/L), or repeated asymptomatic hypoglycemia associated with blood glucose <3.0 mmol/L. Success is defined as lacking of failure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants Requiring Alternative Treatment Due to Glycemic Failure of First Line Injectable Therapy [Baseline to last participant visit (up to 72 weeks)]

  2. Number of Participants With Total Hypoglycemia and Other Categories of Hypoglycemia [Baseline to last participant visit (up to 72 weeks)]

  3. Change From Baseline of Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio [Baseline, Week 72]

    The Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio is used in addition to Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) to measure the incidence and progression of diabetic kidney disease.

  4. Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) [Baseline, Week 72]

  5. Change From Baseline of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) [Baseline, Week 72]

    The eGFR is used in addition to the Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio to measure the incidence and progression of diabetic kidney disease.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Adult Low Blood Sugar Survey (ALBSS) Score [Baseline, Week 72]

  2. Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Score [Baseline, Week 72]

  3. Change From Baseline in Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) Score [Baseline, Week 72]

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants Achieving and Maintaining Individualized Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Targets Without Clinically Significant Hypoglycemia
Description Failed to reach and maintain HbA1c target, without clinically significant hypoglycemia, is defined as having 2 consecutive HbA1c > upper limit of HbA1c target over 12 weeks starting from Week 24 for participants with HbA1c data beyond Week 24, or Week 24 HbA1c > upper limit of HbA1c target for participants without HbA1c data beyond Week 24. Clinically significant hypoglycemia is defined as any severe hypoglycemia or repeated hypoglycemia interrupting participants activities or sleep and associated with blood glucose ≤3.9 millimole per liter (mmol/L), or repeated asymptomatic hypoglycemia associated with blood glucose <3.0 mmol/L. Success is defined as lacking of failure.

Title Change From Baseline of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Description The eGFR is used in addition to the Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio to measure the incidence and progression of diabetic kidney disease.
Time Frame Baseline, Week 72

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
All participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had evaluable baseline and post-baseline eGFR data.
Arm/Group Title Strategy A (Glucose-Dependent) Strategy B (Reference)
Arm/Group Description Participants may receive oral and injectable therapies (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists [GLP-1 RA]) that exert a glucose-dependent mode of action. Medications allowed in this arm include: metformin, pioglitazone, acarbose, linagliptin, sitagliptin, liraglutide, exenatide once weekly (QW), and exenatide twice daily (BID). Choice of therapy is based on investigator's discretion. Treatment used in label.Treatment may last up to 72 weeks. Participants will receive glimepiride and may receive basal insulin glargine as a first line injectable therapy. Medications allowed in this arm include: glimepiride, metformin, pioglitazone, acarbose, linagliptin, sitagliptin and basal insulin glargine. Choice of therapy is based on investigator's discretion. Treatment used in label. Dose titrated by treatment algorithm. Treatment may last up to 72 weeks.
