Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Lixisenatide (AVE0010)
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Antidiabetic background therapy

Experimental: Lixisenatide - Lixisenatide 10 mcg once daily (QD) for 2 weeks, then at a maintenance dose of 20 mcg QD up to Week 24. If the maintenance dose of 20 mcg was not tolerated, dose could be reduced to 10 mcg.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - Placebo (matched to lixisenatide) QD for 24 Weeks.


Treatment: Drugs: Lixisenatide (AVE0010)
Pharmaceutical form: Solution for injection in pre-filled pen administered 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast in the morning
Route of administration: Subcutaneous injection

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Pharmaceutical form: Solution for injection in pre-filled pen administered 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast in the morning
Route of administration: Subcutaneous injection

Treatment: Drugs: Antidiabetic background therapy
Participants received a stable regimen of anti-diabetic background therapy for at least 3 months prior to screening, during the placebo run-in period and the 24 week treatment period. Allowed background antidiabetic therapy included metformin, sulfonylurea (except glibenclamide >10 mg, gliclazide >160 mg), meglitinides (except repaglinide >6 mg), pioglitazone and basal insulin. Insulin glargine, neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin, detemir, lente and ultralente were considered as basal insulin.

Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria:

- At screening HbA1c =7.0% or >10% (Acknowledging that the threshold of 7% may not be
appropriate for all older participants and that this was the responsibility of the
investigator to include the participant based on an individual evaluation of the
expected benefits of better glycemic control versus risk of hypoglycemia).

- At screening participants on both basal insulin and sulfonylurea or basal insulin and
meglitinides.

- At screening FPG >250 mg/dL (>13.9 mmol/L).

- Type 1 diabetes mellitus or history of ketoacidosis within one year prior to the
screening visit.

- Type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed less than 1 year prior to screening.

- Anti-diabetic treatment not at a stable regimen or initiated within the last 3 months
prior to screening.

- Treatment within the 3 months preceding the screening with other anti-diabetic agent
than allowed background therapy. Allowed therapy includes metformin, sulfonylurea
(except glibenclamide >10mg, gliclazide >160mg), meglitinides (except repaglinide
>6mg), pioglitazone and basal insulin and should follow local product circulars and
labeling restrictions for the study population.

- Participants who had been on an approved or an investigational Glucagon-like peptide 1
(GLP-1) medication (exenatide, liraglutide, lixisenatide or others).

- History of severe hypoglycemia associated with symptoms unawareness or results in
unconsciousness/coma/seizure in the 6 months prior to screening.

- BMI <22 or >40 kg/m^2.

- Malnutrition assessed clinically by the investigator or any sub-investigator and by
Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) score <12 in countries (the judgment
of the investigator prevails on questionnaires scores).

- Cognitive disorder and dementia assessed clinically by the investigator or any sub
investigator and by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score <24 (the judgment of
the investigator prevails on questionnaires scores), or any neurologic disorder that
affected the participant's ability to participate in the study.

- Participant who had a glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (using the Modification of
Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula <30ml/min/1.73m^2).

- Participant with severe or uncontrolled disease, or any clinically significant
abnormality identified on physical examination or investigational clinical procedure
that, in the judgment of the investigator or any sub-investigator, would preclude safe
completion of the study or constrains efficacy assessment.

- Laboratory findings at the time of screening:

- Amylase and/or lipase: >3 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN) laboratory
range

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3 times ULN

- Calcitonin >20 pg/mL (5.9 pmol/L).

- Clinically relevant history of gastrointestinal disease associated with prolonged
nausea and vomiting, including (but not limited to): gastroparesis, unstable (i.e.
worsening) and not controlled (i.e. prolonged nausea and vomiting) gastroesophageal
reflux disease within 6 months prior to screening.

- History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy,
stomach/gastric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease.

Summary
Brief summary
Primary objective:

- To evaluate the effect of lixisenatide versus placebo over a period of 24 weeks on glycemic
control, as evaluated by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction, in older type 2 diabetes
participants (T2DM) who are inadequately controlled with their current anti-diabetic
treatment regimen.

Main secondary objective:

- To assess the safety and tolerability of lixisenatide compared to placebo in older T2DM
participants (including occurrence of documented (Plasma Glucose PG < 60 mg/dL) symptomatic
hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal side effects).

Other secondary objectives:

- To assess the effect of lixisenatide compared to placebo after 24-week treatment on:

- Fasting plasma glucose (FPG);

- During liquid standardized breakfast meal challenge test : 2 hour- Postprandial
Plasma Glucose (PPG) and Plasma Glucose Excursion;

- 7-point Self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profile;

- Body weight;

- Change in total daily dose of basal insulin (if taken);

- Percentage of participants requiring rescue therapy

- Safety and tolerability;

- To assess lixisenatide pharmacokinetic profile;

- To assess anti-lixisenatide antibody development.
