  1. 01HumanNon-randomized trialEfficacy outcome

    In patients with type 2 diabetes, lixisenatide reduced 2-h postprandial glucagon at Week 24 versus placebo (P < 0.00001).

    In plain wordsIn patients with diabetes, lixisenatide reduced postmeal glucagon compared with placebo.

    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    A post hoc analysis was performed on pooled data from the modified intent-to-treat populations of two lixisenatide Phase 3 trials: GetGoal-M (lixisenatide versus placebo as add-on to metformin) and GetGoal-S (lixisenatide versus placebo as add-on to sulfonylurea [SU] ± metformin).
    Summary · context
    Glucagon levels were assessed 2 h after a standardized meal test performed at baseline and Week 24 and were examined for correlation with changes in 2-h postprandial glucose and HbA1c.
  2. 02HumanObservational studyMechanism

    In lixisenatide-treated patients with type 2 diabetes, postprandial glucagon change correlated with postprandial glucose reductions (P < 0.00001).

    In plain wordsIn lixisenatide-treated patients with diabetes, postmeal glucagon reduction was linked to postmeal glucose reduction.

    Summary
    The mean change in postprandial glucagon significantly correlated with reductions in postprandial glucose (P < 0.00001) and HbA1c (P < 0.00001).
