Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (LY2963016 Noninferior to Lantus®)
Baseline, Week 24

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least square (LS) mean was calculated using mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with variables baseline HbA1c + Treatment + Pre-study treatment + Pre-study metformin or acarbose usage + Time + Time\*Treatment (Type III sum of squares).

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (LY2963016 to Lantus®)
Baseline, Week 24

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least square (LS) mean was calculated by mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline, insulin secretagogues at study entry, treatment, visit and treatment\*visit in the model.

Change From Baseline to 24 Weeks in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Baseline, 24 weeks

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline of response, treatment (LY2963016, LANTUS), pooled country, basal insulin at entry (yes/no), sulfonylurea (SU) use (yes/no), visit, treatment and visit\*treatment in the model.

Change From Baseline up to 24 Weeks in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Baseline, Endpoint (up to 24 weeks)

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for Baseline HbA1c, country, sulfonylurea use, time of basal insulin injection and treatment.

Change From Baseline to 26-week Endpoint in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
Baseline, 26 weeks

Least Squares (LS) means of change from baseline were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted by treatment, country, baseline metformin, and baseline HbA1c.

Change From Baseline to 52 Weeks Endpoint in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
Baseline, 52 weeks

Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with country and treatment as fixed effects and baseline HbA1c as a covariate.

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to Week 24
Baseline, Week 24

Least Squares Mean (LSMean) values reported in the table were controlled for treatment, country, and baseline HbA1c value.

Pharmacodynamics: Duration of Action of LY2963016 and Lantus
Periods 1 and 2: Baseline up to 42 hours postdose

Duration of action is defined as the period of time elapsed between dose administration and the time at which the participant's blood glucose is consistently \>150 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) without any glucose infusion. Participants whose blood glucose did not rise to 150 mg/dL were censored 42 hours postdose.

Frequently asked questions about Insulin Glargine

What is Insulin Glargine used for?

Insulin Glargine is used to treat diabetes mellitus, including type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company for these metabolic indications. Clinical studies have enrolled adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, including participants in China, the United States, India, and other countries.

What does Insulin Glargine target?

Insulin Glargine targets INSR, the insulin receptor, and acts as an agonist at that receptor. By activating the insulin receptor, it supports glucose-lowering activity relevant to diabetes management. This target class is consistent with its use in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Who makes Insulin Glargine?

Insulin Glargine is developed by Eli Lilly and Company, which trades under the ticker LLY. Lilly has run clinical studies of the drug in adult participants with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, including comparator studies against Lantus in Chinese and multinational populations.

What phase is Insulin Glargine in?

Insulin Glargine is in Phase 1 development according to its current development stage, and it is investigational rather than approved. Completed studies include Phase 3 trials, such as NCT03338023 and NCT03338010 in Chinese adults and NCT02302716 in a multinational type 2 diabetes population.

What clinical trials is Insulin Glargine in?

Insulin Glargine has been studied in completed trials including NCT04957914 in type 2 diabetes, NCT03338023 in type 1 diabetes, NCT03338010 in type 2 diabetes, and NCT02302716 in type 2 diabetes. These studies were randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled, with total enrollment across the program of 3,374 participants.

Is Insulin Glargine the same as LY2963016?

Yes, Insulin Glargine is also known as LY2963016 and Insulin Glargine (U100). LY2963016 is the Lilly development code used in trial titles such as NCT03338023, NCT03338010, and NCT02302716, which compared it with Lantus in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
