PG - 125-134 LID - S0168-8227(18)31627-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2019.04.018 [doi] AB - AIMS: Compare the efficacy and safety of albiglutide from a ready-to-use, single-dose, auto-injector system with the lyophilized product in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: In this phase 3 study, 308 patients between 18 and 80 years with T2DM and experiencing inadequate glycemic control on their current regimen of diet/exercise alone or in combination with metformin were randomized 1:1 to weekly injections for 26 weeks with an active albiglutide auto-injector and placebo lyophilized dual-chamber cartridge (DCC) pen injector (n = 154) or active albiglutide lyophilized DCC pen injector and placebo liquid auto-injector (n = 154). Participants received liquid or lyophilized albiglutide 30 mg for 4 weeks, and then 50 mg for the remaining 22 weeks. Change in HbA(1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), pharmacokinetics, and safety were assessed. RESULTS: In the albiglutide liquid and lyophilized drug product groups, 55.6% (85/153) and 45.5% of patients (70/154) had a baseline HbA(1c) >/= 8.0%, respectively. The model-adjusted least squares (LS) mean change in HbA(1c) from baseline at week 26 was -1.1% (95% CI: -1.3, -1.0) and -1.2% (95% CI: -1.3, -1.0; noninferiority P = 0.0002) in the albiglutide liquid and lyophilized product groups, respectively. Similarly, the model-adjusted LS mean change in FPG from baseline at week 26 in the albiglutide liquid and lyophilized product groups was -2.2 (95% CI: -2.6, -1.8) mmol/L and -1.9 (95% CI: -2.3, -1.5) mmol/L, respectively. No new safety concerns were identified. CONCLUSION: Change from baseline in HbA(1c) for albiglutide liquid was noninferior to lyophilized drug product in patients with T2DM.
