Primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 24; RESULTS: Lixisenatide provided a significant reduction in HbA1c at Week 24 versus placebo (LS mean: -0.85% vs. -0.10%; p<0.0001) and more patients achieved HbA1c <7.0% (36.4% vs. 13.5%; p<0.0001). Lixisenatide significantly lowered FPG and body weight versus placebo. In breakfast meal test patients, lixisenatide reduced 2-hour PPG versus placebo (LS mean: -111.48 vs. -3.80 mg/dL [-6.19 vs. -0.21 mmol/L]; p<0.0001) and glucose excursion (-94.11 vs. +6.24 mg/dL [-5.22 vs. +0.35 mmol/L]), and reduced 2-hour glucagon, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide. The percentage of AEs was 68.3% for lixisenatide and 61.1% for placebo; and for SAEs: 3.5% versus 5.6%, respectively. Lixisenatide did not significantly increase symptomatic hypoglycemia versus placebo (15.3% vs. 12.3%, respectively); one severe episode of hypoglycemia was reported with lixisenatide UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2014.01.012 ER -
