Females subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an acceptable method of birth control (including barrier–method contraceptives or intrauterine device). Women with history of bilateral tubal ligation, women who have undergone total hysterectomy or women who are post-menopausal for atleast 2 years are eligible (if within ≥ 18 and ≤ 55 years age).
7. Ability to use the self glucose-monitoring device and to self administer insulin.
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. A subject with impaired hepatic function, where liver enzymes (AST or ALT) levels are abnormal and are clinically significant as assessed by the Investigator, however not 3 times the upper limit of normal range.
2. A subject with impaired renal function, where serum creatinine 2.0 mg/dl and/or BUN 30 mg/dl.
3. A subject with serum AIA result 0.95 index value (i.e., “Borderline” or “Positive”).
4. A subject who is Hepatitis B or C or HIV positive.
5. A subject who is in a hyperthyroid or hypothyroid state will be excluded from the study. However, earlier diagnosed subjects (with a history of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism) who are well controlled on treatment (Euthyroid) can be considered for enrollment in the study.
6. A Subject whose requirement for total daily dose of insulin is 1.4 units/kg.
7. A subject with history or evidence of allergy to insulin preparations.
8. A subject with history or evidence of recurrent severe hypoglycemia.
9. A subject who has received any insulin of animal origin during the last 3 years.
10. A subject who is currently receiving or has received, within the last year, any immunomodulator medications, including corticosteroids that would possibly modify antibody generation either at the enrollment or during the course of the study. Topical / ophthalmic / intra-articular / nasal spray corticosteroids will be allowed.
11. A subject who has received an oral hypoglycaemic agent within 4 weeks prior to screening.
12. A subject with history or evidence of active severe proliferative retinopathy, nephropathy and/or neuropathy significant cardiovascular disease, anemia or hemoglobinopathy, alcohol or drug abuse or any other medical condition that in the opinion of Investigator can interfere with the study treatment.
13. A subject who has undergone pancreatectomy or pancreas/islet cell transplant.
14. A subject who has been treated with other investigational agent or devices within the previous 30 days.
15. A subject who is unlikely to comply with the study protocol e.g. unable to return periodically for subsequent visits.
16. A subject who is an employee of the Investigator, or a subject who has a direct involvement with the trial or other trials under the direction of the Investigator.

Brief Summary  

Primary Objective

To determine whether Glaritus® is non-inferior to Lantus® in glycemic control or not.

Secondary Objectives

  • To compare the change in the blood glucose levels, from baseline to end of trial, between both arms.
  • To compare the change in glargine dose, from baseline to end of trial, between both arms.
  • To compare the immunogenic response to glargine in both arms.
  • To compare the number of episodes of hypoglycemia between both arms.
  • To assess and compare subjects safety between both arms.

Primary Endpoint

Change in HbA1c from baseline to end of trial between Glaritus® arm and Lantus® arm.  

Secondary Endpoints

  • Change in the Fasting Blood Glucose from baseline to end of trial between Glaritus® and Lantus®.
  • The change in the glargine dose between the Glaritus® arm and Lantus® arm after 12 weeks (end of trial). Subjects will be grouped as:

a)    No change in glargine dose (± 10% of the dose required at baseline)

b)    >10% increase in glargine dose

c)    >10% decrease in glargine dose

  • The change in the immunogenic response (measured as percentage change in serum AIA), from baseline to end of trial in both arms.
  • Safety: Safety assessments include adverse events (including hypoglycemia events), serious adverse events, laboratory test results, ECG findings, vital signs and physical examination findings.

Summary of Trial Design

Prospective, randomized, multicenter, comparative, non- inferiority, open-label, parallel group study. The total duration of the trial for each subject would be 17 weeks and number of subject visits are 6. The study visits are as follows:

 

1. Visit 1 / Screening

2. Visit 2 / Beginning of run-in period (for a period of 4 weeks)

3. Visit 3 / End of run in period / Randomization

4. Visit 4 / End of week 4 (from randomization)

5. Visit 5 / End of week 8 (from randomization)

6. Visit 6/ End of week 12 (from randomization) / End of Trial
