Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacogenetic, Efficacy, Safety

To evaluate the efficacy of pharmacogenetic-guided treatment, compared with optimized standard treatment, in subjects with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes.

Secondary objectives 5

  1. To assess the impact of treatment on HbA1c response according to the genetic variants.
  2. To evaluate the percentage of patients achieving the goal of dyslipidemia and its relationship with genetic variations present in those subjects.
  3. To evaluate the percentage of patients achieving the goal of blood pressure and its relationship with genetic variations present in those subjects.
  4. To evaluate incidence and relatedness of glucose-lowering drugs’ adverse events with genetic variations.
  5. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the glucose-lowering drugs prescribed in each patient group.

Study treatment will start in the randomization visit for 24 weeks.
Randomised Controlled None [{"id":145608,"code":1,"name":"Subject"}] Experimental arm: Pharmacogenetic-guided treatment group: treatment for patients randomized to this arm will be selected according to previously identified genetic variations.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 7

  1. Age 40-70 years old, included.
  2. Body Mass Index (BMI) 25-40 kg/m².
  3. Diagnosis of T2D according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria.
  4. Patients with T2D insufficiently controlled (HbA1c 7-9.5%) with current (≥6 months) “standard of care” treatment without use of insulin. Subject has provided written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure.
  5. Subject has provided written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure.
  6. Able and willing to comply with requested study visits and procedures.
  7. Contraceptive measures, only for female participants: • A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies: - Is a woman of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP) OR - Is a WOCBP and agrees to use a contraceptive method that is highly effective, [with a failure rate of 1-5%], during the study intervention period (to be effective before starting the intervention). Acceptable methods are the following: ○ Male (or female) condom ○ Contraceptive implant ○ IUD (intrauterine device) ○ Surgical sterilization (tubal ligation or partner's vasectomy) ○ Birth control pill ○ Contraceptive patch ○ Vaginal ring ○ Contraceptive injections A WOCBP must have a negative urine pregnancy test before the first administration of study intervention.

Exclusion criteria 12

  1. Treatment with insulin at the time of screening.
  2. HbA1c >9.5% at screening.
  3. Treatment with more than 3 glucose lowering drugs at the time of screening.
  4. Chronic renal disease defined as eGFR <30mL/min/1.73m² (many glucose-lowering drugs are not approved or require dosage adjustments for being used in these patients) at the screening visit.
  5. Hepatic insufficiency which contraindicates the use of glucose-lowering drugs.
  6. Currently receiving treatment in another investigational drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational drug study.
  7. Pregnancy or lactation.
  8. Women of child bearing potential with no effective contraceptive methods.
  9. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure.
  10. Subject likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the subject and investigator's knowledge.
  11. Subject is staff personal directly involved with the study or is a family member of the investigational study staff.
  12. Life expectancy predicted to be <2 years.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Proportion of patients achieving goal HbA1c ≤7% at Week 24 in experimental arm versus control arm.

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. Comparison between patients who have achieved the goal of HbA1c ≤7% at baseline (excluded for randomization) with patients who did not (included for the randomization).
  2. Percentage of patients achieving the goal of dyslipidemia at Week 24: - LDL-C of <70 mg/dL without documented CVD at baseline. - LDL-C of <55 mg/dL with documented CVD at baseline.
  3. Percentage of patients achieving the goal of blood pressure (<140/90 mmHg) at Week 24.
  4. Number of glucose-lowering drugs’ adverse events reported for each genetic variation identified.
  5. Proportion of patients in each group presenting each clinical outcome over the study period: • Adverse events (AEs) related to glucose-lowering drugs • Serious Adverse events (SAEs) • Changes in clinical laboratory parameters, including renal and hepatic function. • Changes in vital signs
