Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time (% or minutes/per day) in level 2 hypoglycaemia (IG < 3.0 mmol/l) assessed by CGM during the out-patient part (Sotagliflozin 400 mg QD versus placebo)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during the out-patient part; level 2 hypoglycaemia defined as interstitial glucose (IG) < 3.0 mmol/l; measured as time (percentage or minutes per day) spent in this range comparing sotagliflozin 400 mg QD versus placebo."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time (% or minutes/per day) in level 1 hypoglycaemia (IG 3.0–3.9 mmol/l) (out-patient part)\n- Time (% or minutes/per day) below range (IG < 3.9 mmol/l, including readings <3.0 mmol/l) (out-patient part)\n- Time (% or minutes/per day) in range (IG 3.9–10.0 mmol/l) (out-patient part)\n- Time (% or minutes/per day) above tight range (>7.8 mmol/l) (out-patient part)\n- Time (% or minutes/per day) above range (>10.0 mmol/l) (out-patient part)\n- Time (% or minutes/per day) above range (>13.9 mmol/l) (out-patient part)\n- Frequency (no of events/day) of hypoglycaemic events (IG < 3.9 mmol/l, ≥15 min) (out-patient part)\n- Frequency (no of events/day) of level 1 hypoglycaemic events (IG 3.0–3.9 mmol/l, ≥15 min) (out-patient part)\n- Frequency (no of events/day) of level 2 hypoglycaemic events (IG <3.0 mmol/l, ≥15 min) (out-patient part)\n- Frequency (no of events/day) of hyperglycaemic events (>10.0 mmol/l, ≥15 min) (out-patient part)\n- Glycaemic variability assessed as coefficient of variation (CV) (out-patient part)\n- Glycaemic variability assessed as standard deviation (SD) (out-patient part)\n- Glycaemic variability assessed as low blood glucose index (LBGI) (out-patient part)\n- Change in full score of Edinburgh Hypoglycaemia Symptom scale during treatment (EHSS) (out-patient part)\n- Change in full score of fear of hypoglycaemia as assessed by Hypoglycaemia Fear Scale (HFS-II) (out-patient part)\n- Change in full score of quality of life as assessed by the 36-item Short Form health survey (SF-36) (out-patient part)\n- Nadir plasma glucose assessed as the absolute lowest value (in-patient part)\n- Time spent in hypoglycaemia (<3.9 mmol/l) (in-patient part)\n- Time spent in level 1 and level 2 hypoglycaemia (3.0–3.9 and < 3.0 mmol/l, respectively) (in-patient part)\n- Change in full score of Edinburgh Hypoglycemia Symptom scale (in-patient part)\n- Glycaemic rescue intervention due to critically low plasma glucose concentration (≤ 1.8 mmol/l) or onset of marked neuroglycopenic symptoms (in-patient part)\n- Time spent in hyperglycaemia (>7.8, >10.0 and 13.9 mmol/l, respectively) (in-patient part)\n- Peak plasma glucose concentration (in-patient part)\n- Changes in plasma / serum concentrations of insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, GLP-1, GIP, epinephrine, norepinephrine, somatotropin, pancreatic polypeptide, and cortisol measured as area under the curve (AUC) and/or incremental (iAUC) as appropriate, peak values and values at nadir plasma glucose concentration (in-patient part)\n- Rate of gastric emptying as assessed by acetaminophen concentration (paracetamol): Tmax and Cmax (in-patient part)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Most secondary endpoints are assessed by CGM (time in ranges, frequency of events, variability metrics CV and SD, LBGI) during out-patient and in-patient parts. Patient-reported scales (EHSS, HFS-II, SF-36) use full score changes. In-patient biochemical measures (nadir plasma glucose, peak plasma glucose, hormonal concentrations) are measured from plasma/serum and reported as absolute values, AUC or iAUC as specified. Gastric emptying assessed by acetaminophen (paracetamol) Tmax and Cmax."}
