Accepts healthy volunteers
No
- Subjects with type 2 diabetes, currently treated with insulin glargine or other intermediate- or long-acting insulin, with or without oral antidiabetic medications, but experiencing inadequate glycemic control and willing and capable of participating in a regimen of intensive insulin administration. A subject who has been on an intermediate- or long acting insulin for >/=6 months but <5 years, and, in spite of dosage adjustments based on home blood glucose monitoring, is unable to achieve a HbA1c of <7%.
- BMI >/= 20kg/m2 and </=45 kg/m2
- History of cancer, other than squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, that has not been in full remission for at least 3 years before Screening.
- History of treated diabetic gastroparesis
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Subjects with type 2 diabetes, currently treated with insulin glargine or other intermediate- or long-acting insulin, with or without oral antidiabetic medications, but experiencing inadequate glycemic control and willing and capable of participating in a regimen of intensive insulin administration. A subject who has been on an intermediate- or long acting insulin for >/=6 months but <5 years, and, in spite of dosage adjustments based on home blood glucose monitoring, is unable to achieve a HbA1c of <7%.
- BMI >/= 20kg/m2 and
- Fasting C-peptide >/=0.8 ng/mL (>/= 0.26 nmol/L)
- HbA1c between 7.0% and 10.5%, inclusive
- Use of oral or systemically injected glucocorticoids is generally not allowed within 3 months before randomization; inhaled, intra articular, and topical corticosteroids are allowed
- Hemoglobin /=10 g/dL for female subjects
- Creatinine clearance >60 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft Gault formula)
- Thyroid stimulating hormone level is normal or clinically euthyroid as demonstrated by further thyroid tests (e.g., T4, T3, thyroid-binding globulin)
- Female subjects of childbearing potential (i.e., not surgically sterile and/or not postmenopausal) must be practicing adequate contraception. Adequate contraception must be practiced for the duration of participation in the study including the 8 week Posttreatment Follow-up Period
- Able and willing to monitor his or her own blood glucose concentrations with a home glucose monitor as per the protocol recommendations of self administration
- No major illness or debility that in the investigator’s opinion prohibits the subject from actively participating in their diabetes management and completing the study
- Able and willing to provide written informed consent
Exclusion criteria:
- History of cancer, other than squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, that has not been in full remission for at least 3 years before Screening.
- History of treated diabetic gastroparesis
- Current ongoing symptomatic biliary disease or history of pancreatitis
- History of significant gastrointestinal surgery, including gastric bypass and banding, antrectomy, Roux en Y bypass, gastric vagotomy, small bowel resection, or surgeries thought to significantly affect upper gastrointestinal function
- Previous history of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 1 month before Screening.
- Acute coronary syndrome, which includes the following:
- Documented MI within the 2 months before Screening and during the period up until receiving the first dose of study medication
- Any cardiac surgery including percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, coronary stent placement, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery within the 2 months before Screening and during the period up until receiving the first dose of study medication
- Unstable angina not responsive to nitroglycerin within the 2 months before Screening and during the period up until receiving the first dose of study medication

- Current or history of heart failure (New York Heart Association class I to IV).
- Resting systolic pressure is >160 mm Hg and/or diastolic pressure >100 mm Hg.
- QTc interval (Fridericia) >470 ms confirmed by a central reader at Screening
- History of stroke or other central nervous system disorder that would negatively impact the subject’s ability to participate in a program of intensive insulin management (eg, physically or mentally incapable of performing home blood glucose monitoring or administering and/or adjusting insulin dosage)
- Hemoglobinopathy that may affect determination of HbA1c
- History of human immunodeficiency virus infection
- History of total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN unless the subject has a previously known history of Gilbert’s syndrome and a fractionated bilirubin that shows conjugated bilirubin <35% of total bilirubin
- ALT or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2.5 ×ULN
- Fasting triglyceride level >850 mg/dL at Screening or Week -1 (Visit 5).

- History of a psychiatric disorder that will affect the subject’s ability to participate in the study
- History of alcohol or substance abuse within 1 year before Screening
- Positive urine drug screen at Screening, unless the subject is taking a medically approved medication for which a positive drug screen simply verifies the use of this medication

- Current use of any GLP 1 analogue
- History of type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic complications (e.g., active proliferative retinopathy or severe diabetic neuropathy) that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude effective participation in the study, or a history of ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma
- Contraindications (as per the prescribing information) for the use of either background or potential randomized study medications (e.g., insulin glargine or lispro insulin)
- History or family history of medullary carcinoma
- History or family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2
