Comparison of SAR341402 to NovoLog in Adult Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Also Using Insulin Glargine

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate similarity in pharmacokinetics (PK) of SAR341402 and NovoLog after 4x4-week periods of alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog compared to 16-week continuous use of NovoLog in participants with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) also using insulin glargine.

Secondary Objectives:

* To compare the effects of alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog with continuous use of NovoLog on immunogenicity. * To evaluate the safety of alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog versus continuous use of NovoLog. * To compare other PK parameters between the two treatment arms (alternating administration of SAR341402 and NovoLog and continuous use of NovoLog).

  • Known presence of factors that interfered with the HbA1c measurement.
  • History of severe hypoglycemia required emergency room admission or hospitalization within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Hospitalization for recurrent diabetic ketoacidosis within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Retinopathy or maculopathy with one of the following treatments, either recent (within 3 months of screening) or planned: intravitreal injections or laser or vitrectomy surgery.
  • Use of glucose lowering treatments other than the multiple dose injections and basal insulin regimen (including use of insulin pump therapy), within 12 weeks prior to screening.
  • Participants had received systemic glucocorticoids for one week or more within 3 months prior to screening (topical, nasal spray, inhaled or intra-articular applications are allowed).
  • Participants had received systemic immunosuppressive agents within 6 months prior to screening.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Anti-Insulin Aspart Antibodies (AIAs)

    Time frame: From first injection of IMP (Day 1) up to 1 day after the last injection of IMP (i.e., up to Day 113)

    AIA was categorized as: treatment-induced AIA, treatment-boosted AIA, and treatment-emergent AIA. Treatment-induced AIAs: participants who developed AIA following investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (participants with at least one positive AIA sample at any time during on-treatment period, in those participants without pre-existing AIA or with missing Baseline sample). Treatment-boosted AIAs: participants with pre-existing AIAs that were boosted to a significant higher titer following IMP administration (participants with at least one AIA sample with at least a 4-fold increase in titers compared to Baseline value at any time during on-treatment period, in those participants with pre-existing AIA). Participants with treatment-emergent AIA were defined as participants with treatment-induced, or treatment-boosted AIAs. On-treatment period was defined as the time from the first injection of IMP up to the last injection of IMP + 1 day.

  2. Number of Participants With at Least One Hypoglycemic Event

    Time frame: From first injection of IMP (Day 1) up to 1 day after the last injection of IMP (i.e., up to Day 113)

    Severe hypoglycemia: event in which participant required assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions, because participant was not capable of helping self. Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia: event in which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia (SOH) were accompanied by measured plasma glucose concentration (PGC) less than or equal to (<=) 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L)(<70 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]) or <3.0 mmol/L(<54 mg/dL). Asymptomatic hypoglycemia: event without SOH and with measured PGC of <=3.9 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL) or <3.0 mmol/L (<54 mg/dL). Probable symptomatic hypoglycemia: event with SOH not accompanied by plasma glucose determination but was presumably caused by PGC <=3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). Relative hypoglycemia: event with SOH but with measured PGC greater than (>) 3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL).

  3. Number of Hypoglycemic Events Per Participant-year

    Time frame: From first injection of IMP (Day 1) up to 1 day after the last injection of IMP (i.e., up to Day 113)

    Number of hypoglycemia events (any, severe, documented [both threshold], asymptomatic [both threshold], probable symptomatic and relative) per participant-year of exposure were reported. Severe hypoglycemia: event in which participant required assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions, because participant wasn't capable of helping self. Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia: event in which typical SOH were accompanied by measured PGC of <=3.9 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL) or <3.0 mmol/L(<54 mg/dL). Asymptomatic hypoglycemia: event without SOH and measured PGC of <=3.9 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL) or <3.0 mmol/L(<54 mg/dL). Probable symptomatic hypoglycemia: event with SOH not accompanied by plasma glucose determination but was presumably caused by PGC <=3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). Relative hypoglycemia: event with SOH but with measured PGC >3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL).

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    Time frame: From first injection of IMP (Day 1) up to 1 day after the last injection of IMP (i.e., up to Day 113)

    An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug and did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the on-treatment period (from first injection of IMP up to 1 day after the last injection of IMP).

  5. Pharmacokinetics: Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Insulin Aspart Following Administration of Either SAR341402 (Switching Arm) or NovoLog (Non-switching Arm)
