6 weeks

Beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) time \> 0.6 millimole per liter (mmol/L) as measured by the DGK during the 200mg dosing period in the MDI vs. HCL groups.

BHB Time Above 0.6mmol/L - 400mg

Change from Baseline to Week 26 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ CSS)
Baseline to Week 26

KCCQ is a 23-item, self-administered questionnaire that measure the participant's perception of their health status, including their heart failure (HF) symptoms, impact on physical and social function and how their HF impacts the quality of life. KCCQ quantifies 7 domains: physical limitations (6 items), symptom stability (1 item), symptom frequency (4 items), symptom burden (3 items), self-efficacy (2 items), quality of life (3 items) and social limitations (4 items). Scores are generated for each domain and scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the worst and 100 the best possible status. Higher scores reflect better health status.

Percentage of Participants With A1C <7.0% at Week 24 and No Episode of Severe Hypoglycemia and No Episode of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) After Randomization
Week 24

The primary composite endpoint included blood samples for the assessment of Hemoglobin A1C to determine the participants with a value \<7.0%. A central blinded adjudication process determined whether participants experienced either DKA or Severe Hypoglycemia.

Change From Baseline in A1C at Week 24
Baseline to Week 24

Baseline value was defined as the last value collected prior to the first dose of double-blind study medication. Least square (LS) means were obtained from a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) that included fixed, categorical effects of treatment, randomization strata of insulin delivery method (MDI, CSII), randomization strata of Week -2 A1C (\<= 8.5%, \>8.5%), time (study week), a treatment-by-time interaction, and baseline A1C-by-time interaction as a covariate. A negative change from baseline (a reduction of A1C value at Week 24) indicates an improvement.

Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) clinical summary score
From baseline to week 16

To investigate the effect of sotagliflozin 200mg once daily in addition to standard of care on quality of life (QoL). KCCQ clinical summary score (no unit, ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores reflecting better health status).

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) at Week 12
Baseline to Week 12

Baseline was defined as the last value collected prior to the first dose of double-blind study medication. Post-baseline Least Square (LS) mean values were obtained from mixed-effects model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, randomization strata of insulin delivery method (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion \[CSII\] or multiple daily injection \[MDI\]), time (study week), and a treatment-by-time interaction as fixed categorical effects, and baseline A1C-by-time interaction as a covariate.

Percent Change From Baseline in Total Daily Bolus Amount of Exogenous Insulin Required Calculated Over Days 3 to 27 (Treatment Outpatient Period)
Baseline, Day 3 to Day 27

Baseline was calculated as the mean value from Day -6 to -2 for Expansion groups and from Day -6 to Day -3 for Pioneer Group. Percent mean change from baseline was calculated as 100\*(sum \[each daily value - baseline\]/number of assessments)/baseline over Days 3 to 27. Least squares (LS) Means and confidence interval (CI) for the Expansion groups were based on an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with covariates of baseline mean total bolus insulin, treatment group, factor used to stratify the randomization (screening A1C \<= 8%, \> 8%), and random effect of participant\*treatment group. LS Means and CI for the Pioneer Group were based on the arithmetic treatment mean.

Frequently asked questions about LX4211

What is LX4211 used for in type 2 diabetes mellitus?

LX4211 is an investigational oral small molecule developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been studied both as monotherapy and in combination with metformin in patients with inadequate glycemic control, and in patients with type 2 diabetes and renal impairment. It is not approved and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing LX4211?

LX4211 is being developed by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker LXRX. Lexicon sponsored the clinical program evaluating LX4211 in type 2 diabetes mellitus, including Phase 1 drug interaction studies and a Phase 2 study of LX4211 added to metformin.

What phase is LX4211 in?

LX4211 is in Phase 2 clinical development for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Six trials have been completed, including a Phase 2 study of LX4211 with metformin in 299 patients and several Phase 1 studies, and no trials are currently active. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is LX4211 in?

Six completed trials have evaluated LX4211. The Phase 2 study NCT01376557 tested LX4211 with metformin in 299 patients with inadequate glycemic control. Phase 1 studies include NCT01555008 in type 2 diabetes with renal impairment, NCT01441232 with Januvia, and NCT01292993 evaluating the LX4211 and metformin interaction in healthy subjects.

How many patients have been enrolled in LX4211 trials?

Across the six completed LX4211 trials, 417 patients have been enrolled in total. The largest was the Phase 2 study NCT01376557 with 299 patients, followed by the Phase 1 renal impairment study NCT01555008 with 31 patients. The trials were randomized, double blind, and controlled.
