Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in HbA1c to Week 26
Baseline, Week 26

Change in HbA1c was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Missing post-baseline values were imputed by placebo control-based multiple imputation (MI) method under the missing not at random framework.

LiraglutideACTIVE_COMPARATORLiraglutide SC injection QD at maintenance dose of 1.8 mg for 24 weeks (Week 3 to Week 26) following 2 weeks dose increase steps (0.6 mg daily at Week 1 and by 1.2 mg daily at Week 2).
SAR425899EXPERIMENTALRepeated once daily subcutaneous (SC) doses of SAR425899 administered over 19 days
Cohort 1EXPERIMENTALDaily dose escalation (click-by-click): Starting at dose 1 in the morning with daily increments to dose 2. During the escalation phase, the dose will only be increased if the patient is feeling fine.
Cohort 2EXPERIMENTALWeekly dose escalation in 6 escalation steps (7 dose levels): Starting at dose 1 injected in the morning with weekly increments to dose 2. In case a dose level is not well tolerated by a patient, the treatment should continue at the same dose level for another 7 days before the next dose escalation.
Cohort 3EXPERIMENTALWeekly dose escalation in 4 escalation steps (5 dose levels): Starting at dose 3 with weekly increments to dose 2. In case a dose level is not well tolerated by a patient, the treatment should continue at the same dose level for another 7 days before the next dose escalation.

Frequently asked questions about SAR425899

What is SAR425899 used for?

SAR425899 is an investigational small molecule developed for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It has been studied in overweight to obese adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, including patients not requiring anti-diabetic pharmacotherapy. All five of its clinical trials have been completed, and it remains in clinical development rather than approved for prescribing.

What does SAR425899 target?

SAR425899 targets GCGR, the glucagon receptor, and acts as an agonist at that receptor. Its clinical program evaluated the drug in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with trials also assessing energy expenditure in obese subjects and binding to the liver and pancreas in overweight to obese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients.

Who is developing SAR425899?

SAR425899 is developed by Sanofi, which trades under the ticker SNY. Sanofi sponsored the clinical program for the drug, which includes five completed trials in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and related metabolic study populations. No other developer is associated with the asset in its trial record.

What phase is SAR425899 in?

SAR425899 has completed Phase 2 development. Its Phase 2 trial, NCT02973321, assessed safety and efficacy in 296 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus across the United States, Canada, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Mexico, Russia, and Spain. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is SAR425899 in?

SAR425899 has been studied in five completed trials. These include the Phase 2 study NCT02973321 in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, plus Phase 1 trials NCT03414736 on safety and tolerability, NCT03376802 on energy expenditure in obese subjects, and NCT03350191 on liver and pancreas binding. Total enrollment across the program was 469 participants.

How was SAR425899 studied in its clinical trials?

SAR425899 trials were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, with 469 total participants enrolled across five completed studies. The Phase 2 trial NCT02973321 enrolled 296 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, while the Phase 1 studies examined safety, tolerability, energy expenditure, and liver and pancreas binding in overweight to obese and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus subjects.
