Study Summary

Primary Objective: \- To compare lixisenatide versus insulin glulisine in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction and body weight change at Week 26 in type 2 diabetic participants not adequately controlled on insulin glargine ± metformin. Secondary Objectives: \- To compare the treatments/regimens on: * The percentage of participants reaching the target of HbA1c \<7% or ≤6.5%, * Body weight, * Self-Monitored Glucose profiles, * Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), * Post-prandial plasma glucose (PPG) /glucose excursions during a standardized meal test (subset of participants), * Daily doses of insulins, * Safety and tolerability.

Primary Outcome

Change in HbA1C was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 26 value. Missing data was imputed using last on-treatment observation carried forward (LOCF). On-treatment period for this efficacy variable was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug. Here, number of participants analyzed = participants with baseline and at least one post-baseline HbA1c assessment during on-treatment period.
